The now regular weekly hydrotherapy pool sessions for the members of the Northamptonshire Branch of the British Polio Fellowship could not be held on Thursday 25th October because the pool at The Chris Moody Centre at Moulton College was under maintenance. However, this cancellation gave the opportunity to trial a session in the gym to assess whether this would be another opportunity to extend the benefits of supervised exercise to those who are unable to join in the pool sessions. Seven members of the group exercised for 40 minutes mainly sitting down, under the direction of their usual physiotherapist Kirsten Good. The initial reaction was that such exercise sessions would help mobility and the laughter throughout was certainly a great medicine for all concerned.
