Meet Sandy - 93yo - A Journey To Confidence
This Is Sandy. He Was Initially Reluctant To Participate In Physiotherapy Due To A Combination Of Fear Of Falling And A View That He Couldn't Improve. After A Few Weeks Of Deliberation He Finally Agreed To "Give It A Try". Sandy's Goal Is To One Day Be Able To Walk The Hallways Of His Home Without Using His Walker. We Primarily Focus On Improving Strength, Power, Static And Dynamic Balance, Improving Movement Volumes, Dual Tasking And Multi-Directional Stepping. Prior To Commencing Physiotherapy Sandy Would Only Let Go Of His Walker If He Had Something To Hold Onto. Needless To Say, He’s Overcome That!
