Interventions involving repetitive practice improve strength after stroke, and these improvements are accompanied by improvements in activity. #stroke #strength @strokefdn @strokeCRE @JoP_Editor @FloreyStroke @Di_zyM @anniemccluskey2 @kscriv2013 @stroke_ed @PhysioLouiseJ

Australians: Demand better Customer Service response from Qantas - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/dewhEh5jOr via @ChangeAUS

[Davide de Sousa @davidedesousa]

No point calling as on hold for 3 hrs and then cut off when agent doesn’t know how to help. This whole experience has left me extremely frustrated, stressed and disappointed. So much for being a valued customer! Had far better experiences with other airlines! @Qantas 2/2

[Davide de Sousa @davidedesousa]

I have never experienced such bad customer service as I have from @Qantas .Spent hrs on the phone over 2wks to change flight and thought I had succeeded, only to find that my flight has been deleted! No notification or refund!Leaving in a few days and no flight! 1/2
