ABC Upper Hunter Interview by Stroke Foundation

So much of the way we interact with the world and how the world interacts with us is based on vision, so when a stroke affects your sight it can have a very big impact on your life. In this special episode put together with Vision Australia, we talk about how a stroke can affect your eyes and your ability to see, and what your options are if you have vision problems after a stroke. We talk to stroke survivor and Australia’s first blind fashion designer Nikki Hind, orthoptist Nabill Jacob from Vision Australia, and Katherine Yong from StrokeLine.

Yoga is very popular with stroke survivors as a form of exercise and as an activity to connect with the community. In this podcast, we speak physiotherapist and researcher Professor Susan Hillier, stroke survivor Sue Bowden, and Simone Russell and Jude Czerenkowski from StrokeLine, about the benefits people get from yoga, and how you can get into practising it if you’ve had a stroke.
