So I am currently working in stroke rehabilitation facility that runs intensive courses for
stroke patients. The main purpose of the courses is to improve the quality of life of the patient. They involve a daily assortment of various activities and incorporate multidisciplinary sessions with mainly physiotherapists and occupational
therapists. Over the next few weeks I will be helping with these courses by
running the hydrotherapy classes, which I will explain more about in a later
post. These courses are extremely helpful for the patients when dealing with
their current situation and are used as an education tool to teach them that they can still do things
with their spare time and enjoy life. We spent the afternoon in the forest by
the coast of the archipelago.
We ventured out into the wilderness about 20 minutes from the clinic on an adjacent archipelago island, the views were spectacular and I have added several photos to share the beauty with you. I had the privilege of helping the patients fish off a pier, unfortunately we didn’t catch anything but we all enjoyed the tranquillity of the calm water surrounding us. After an unsuccessful fish we ventured for sticks and attached a dough which is then cooked on a barbeque, this is known as a stick bun also known as ‘pulla’ which is a typical Finnish food and they are delicious!

Thank you for reading and take a look at my next post for
the pulla recipe!
