For TPC client Angela, 88, getting outside for a walk on a beautiful day is something she loves. But for a period of time, it was also becoming a challenge.
So, together with her physiotherapist, Brooke, she set a meaningful goal:
“To return to walking outside around my court again.”
The walk in question was more than 300 metres, a distance Angela needed to work towards over a three-month period.
This included focused exercises and targeted treatment, as well as Brooke’s support through massage to help manage pain as they worked together.
And it worked! Angela progressed towards her goal, getting to the point where she was able to walk all the way around her court again.
She told Brooke how much this accomplishment made her happy, to be able to enjoy outdoor walks again, especially on a beautiful day.
For Brooke, seeing Angela reach her goal was rewarding.
“It was lovely to help Angela get back to doing something she loves and that is meaningful to her,” Brooke said.
And Angela already has her sights set on her next goal: walking to the local shops and enjoying an ice cream on a sunny day!
Congratulations, Angela and Brooke. Here’s to more walks, sunshine and a well-earned ice cream along the way. 🧡
