Who Else Can Participate in First Steps Activity-based Therapy Programming  for improving the physical ability?​​

​
  • Stroke
  • Acquired/Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Spinal Muscular Atrophy
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Transverse Myelitis
  • Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson and Alzheimer)
  • ​​Motor Neuron Disease
  • etc.
Due to the diverse nature of neurological disorders it is difficult to determine what your program at FSWC will look like and what benefits you can expect to see without first getting to know you and your ability level. To provide you with an appropriate answer we require an assessment conducted by a FSWC kinesiologist before getting started with exercise therapy sessions. Assessments take between one hour and half to two hours, in which we will test your muscle strength, abilities to perform developmental movement patterns and activities of daily living. After completing the assessment, FSWC team will be better able to provide you with information regarding what you can expect in terms of potential goals that could be achieved, types of exercises you will be doing, etc.

​As neurological conditions are chronic, progressive or degenerative in nature it may change the overall impact exercise therapy can have on alleviating some of the symptoms of your condition. For example, in the case with many of our MS clients, their goals are to alleviate symptoms and possibly slow down muscle deterioration, although in some cases functional improvements have been seen.

​​'' ​ I knew that it was going to open a training center for people with reduced mobility in Sherbrooke but when?   To my great delight, I learned about the opening of this center on television.  I immediately went to see their website. 
Following my diagnosis of Locked-in syndrome, a rare disease that has strongly affected my motor skills and my general condition. As, I wish to improve my condition and this since my diagnosis in April 2007.  Despite the time that has passed, I am encouraged in my approach and I appreciate it.  The specialists on site accompany you in your process, we set goals and they work with you.  That's exactly what this center offers, they ask you what your goals are and they work with you to achieve them.
 Also the exercises you do, they explain what that exercise is and what muscle is working and for me that is very important. The improvements appear with time and rigorous work.  I love this FSWC center located near my home, and I have no hesitation in recommending the FSWC center to anyone who has specific needs ".

'' I've had an aggressive, multi-recurrent meningioma since 2010, requiring multiple surgeries and treatments. These multiple interventions have caused me to gradually lose mobility. After my last major brain surgery in May 2021, I lost the use of my legs and my right hand. I have regained some mobility, but I have been dependent on my wheelchair for almost a year, and I walk with difficulty over very short distances and with assistance only.
I've been undergoing treatment at fswcquebec since May 16, 2022 to regain my strength, stay active and hopefully regain my mobility.
I'm happy to be part of this club because it helps me a lot. I realize that my limbs are stronger and I have more stamina.
From the first time I joined, I was looked after 1:1 and sometimes 2:1. It was very reassuring, because the follow-up is better when you work in a small group.
I immediately felt that I wasn't alone and that all the staff wanted to help me.
I feel that my work is adapted to my disability and that the aim is to make me more mobile. 
I also feel that, despite my disability, I'm treated humanely and without prejudice. Thank you to the whole team  ".
