We loved seeing the festive activities @JPUHTherapies! ✨ These activities bring fun while supporting rehab goals, like improving fine motor skills, attention and social interaction, key to stroke recovery and getting people back to the occupations they enjoy. 🧑‍🎄

Thank you to @FMG_Group for providing several sessions for our occupational therapists to demonstrate the Toto lateral turning system.

Providing these to patients with pressure sores on discharge from hospital can improve independence and quality of life and reduce care needs
