#CPChatNow Recap- 5-23-2018

This past week in #CPChatNow was bustling as always.  Members talked about recent hikes, riding bikes, and physical therapy being fun.  This is #CPChatNow co-host, Devin Axtman, taking you along for the ride on this week’s recap.

First, I wanted to highlight a tweet from a member about something that occurred outside of the regular #CPChatNow window of 8-10pm eastern time each Wednesday.  Regular member, Timmy, shared a photo of a weekend hike:

Timmy showed that #CPChatNow and people with CP are doing things all of the time!

Riding bikes was a common theme in this week’s chat after Zach shared a story about a man excelling at adaptive cycling.  Zach and Linds chatted about their history of riding bikes:

Zach and Linds talked about bike riding. Zach said he did not have the core strength to get beyond training wheels. Linds tweeted she used to ride and sometimes fell off, but has been unable to due to health reasons and no time to recover

The bike conversation went in another direction as Zach and I talked about how our physical therapists thought of fun ways to get us involved in physical therapy (PT):

Zach and I tweeted about sports being a part of physical therapy. I tweeted sports were a big part of therapy and zach expressed that he wished sports was a bigger part of his therapy

I tweeted a milestone in physical therapy was running around the bases. Zach recalled getting in catcher position to catch bean bags and the challenge of keeping his balance

This brings us to our extend-the-conversation question, “What did your therapists do to keep you interested in therapy?”
