Holly's new trike....

Important therapeutic benefits for Holly

Holly L aged 11 from Yorkshire has Downs Syndrome and also suffers from a chronic lung condition called Bronchiectasis. She is monitored every 8 weeks by a consultant, physiotherapist, dietician and nurse.

Since Holly has significent chest problems she is unable to walk very far. The team looking after her wanted to encourage her to be as active as possible so a Trike was suggested to offer Holly a fantastic form of exercise which will aid airway clearance of her lung condition and at the same time give Holly some indepedence. It was also suugested that use of a Trike will help with stabilising Holly's weight which she struggles with. We too felt that a Trike would offer fun and important therapeutic exercise to a deserving young lady. Good luck Holly.
