Todays activity to help prevent deconditioning was a seated exercise group that gave rehabilitation to 9 of our patients. At least an hour of physical, mental and social activity complete before 11:30! ReconditionTheNation


1 therapist, 10 patients, 486 minutes of strength exercise. With lower staffing over a weekend, The Cubii’s are a great way to keep patient rehabilitation hours up and deconditioning down. Over 8 hours of patient activity achieved today 😍👏🏼💪🏼 ReconditionTheNation


We had 3 patients in the dayroom and exercising on the pedal machines before 9am this morning!🌅 We aim to get patients up, moving and exercising daily throughout their admission, as this is all part of their rehabilitation journey💪🏼 ReconditionTheNation #EndPJParalysis


🍦Who said you can’t have fun whilst reconditioning in hospital? This afternoon patients were treated to an ice cream courtesy of The League of Friends, with physical, social & mental wellbeing all exercised with this rehabilitation activity 🍦 ReconditionTheNation

11 patients participated in a drama group that was very kindly ran by Paulton Baptist Church this afternoon. Singing, clapping, moving and social interaction were all part of the agenda to encourage reconditioning. ReconditionTheNation

Our very own Christmas Elf demonstrating the new Cubii machines kindly funded by the League of Friends. These seated resistance machines allow patients to easily complete exercise whilst in hospital. We are using them daily on the ward to prevent deconditioning💪🏼 ReconditionTheNation


Really enjoyed presenting the Cubii Project tonight at the CommHospsUK best practice discussion. Excellent conversations about deconditioning & the importance of rehabilitation. It’s incredible how one simple innovative idea can gain momentum & benefit so many patients!🌟
