The Power of Sport

“The Power of Sport" Recreation and Physical Activity in the Rehabilitation Process - Bridging the Gap Between Hospital and Home. The focus of the film is on 3 men (Paul, Sean and Pino) telling the story of their strokes, rehabilitation and how sport/physical activity has contributed to their continued recovery. All three of their health incidents and corresponding recovery stories are completely different (all strokes and remaining deficits are as unique as the individual). However, the common threads between them are the stroke, attendance at West Park Healthcare Centre for rehab, attendance at the Stroke Survivors’ support group and a dedication to sport/physical activity as a vehicle for recovery.
