Description
A unique opportunity to support stroke rehabilitation of club members within a gym whilst under supervision of a fitness instructor and physiotherapist.
Stand close to members to keep their balance while they carry out a variety of supervised exercises during circuit training. To assist and encourage when balance, walking and stepping exercises are practiced. Engage in conversation to promote a light hearted atmosphere.
Organisation aims and objectives
Dundee Stroke Exercise Club collaborates with Leisure & Culture Dundee delivering life-changing classes across the city. We offer rehabilitation classes for all ages & abilities helping stroke survivors regain their confidence and fitness to help them on the road to recovery. At Dundee Stroke Exercise Club all our classes are carried out with trained staff and an excellent group of volunteers (who are all stroke survivors) who help each individual realise that they are not alone.
