Physical Independence

We have programmes of physiotherapy, aqua therapy, and exercise, all with the general aim of increasing physical independence. We also supply wheelchairs and crutches to those who need them, and arrange for the provision of braces and other prosthetic aids. More confident members often inspire newer members with what they are able to do: catching public transport, riding double on motorbikes, and driving their own adapted three-wheel motor bikes.

A physiotherapist comes each Sunday to help those who need special exercises. Thanks to some Dutch donors our physiotherapy facilities are getting better and better. We go to a swimming pool every few weeks to do aqua therapy.

Ketut Sri’s story is an example of the importance of physical independence.
