Creativity meets rehabilitation through Crochet!

Our patients took part in a crochet group this week as part of their upper limb rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation isn't just about exercises; it's also about helping people return to the meaningful activities they enjoy and love.

Some of our patients shared how much they enjoy craft activities, so we wanted to incorporate these interests into their rehabilitation.

Crochet provides a wonderful opportunity to practise fine motor skills, hand dexterity, coordination, grip, movement and bilateral hand use, all while engaging in an enjoyable and purposeful activity.
Most importantly, it offers an opportunity to be creative, build confidence, share skills, connect with others and enjoy a sense of achievement.

A special thank you to our Therapy Assistant Holly, a seasoned crocheter, who supported and guided our patients throughout the activity. Our very own award-winning Senior Support Worker Owen also joined in and took the opportunity to learn a new skill!

Rehabilitation is about more than just movement. It's about helping people get back to doing the things that matter to them.

The faces behind the ABI!

Meet Holly Pickering, Our Therapy Assistant.

“Hi, my name is Holly, and I’m the Therapy Assistant at Manton Heights ABI Unit, where I’m part of the multidisciplinary team supporting patients through their rehabilitation.
One of the things I enjoy most about my role is that no two days are the same. I’m involved in lots of different areas of rehabilitation, from leading and assisting with exercise groups and completing one-to-one therapy and speech sessions, to working alongside the wider multidisciplinary team.

A big part of my role is also getting to know our patients and building positive relationships with them. I really enjoy the social side of the job — having a chat, sharing a laugh, encouraging someone through a difficult session, or simply being there to support them throughout their day. For me, one of the most rewarding parts of rehabilitation is seeing progress, no matter how big or small. A goal that may seem simple to someone else can be a huge achievement for a patient, and being able to encourage them, celebrate those milestones and see their confidence grow is something I really value.

I feel very fortunate to work alongside such a supportive and knowledgeable team, where everyone brings something different to a patient’s rehabilitation. Being able to learn from the different professionals around me while contributing to the day-to-day care and rehabilitation of our patients is something I really enjoy.

Most importantly, I’m proud to be part of a team that puts the person at the centre of their rehabilitation and recognises that every achievement, big or small, matters.”

Following a stroke that caused significant right-sided weakness, this patient initially relied on a Sara Stedy for transfers. She is now taking supported steps with a gutter frame—an incredible, life-changing progression towards greater strength, confidence and independence.

A powerful example of what determination and specialist neurorehabilitation can achieve. 💙

Introducing the faces behind the ABI!

Meet Kelly Skevington, Our Assistant Psychologist.

" My name is Kelly and I am the Assistant Psychologist working at Manton Heights ABI unit as part of the psychology team that support our patients throughout their admission.

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including the police and probation service as well as supporting adults and children with substance misuse. Eight years ago, I joined Manton Heights as a carer, and since then I gained the opportunity to use my Master's degree in Psychology to support our patients in a different way; by combining my academic knowledge with my practical experience to help improve their care, and support their recovery after their injury.

My role within the unit is to work with patients who are recovering from a brain and/or spinal cord injury to understand and manage changes in their thinking, emotions, and behaviour, and to support them and their families with the impact of that injury.

Supervised by our Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I complete neuropsychometric assessments, formulate and deliver therapy sessions, and work with the wider multidisciplinary team to support ongoing rehabilitation plans. I continuously monitor mood, and support patients that are showing signs of low mood, anxiety and trauma. I also run games and wellbeing groups, as well as support patients in practicing mindfulness sessions.

We provide care using a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, recognising how past experiences joined with the impact of an injury can affect recovery. We recognise that every patient is different, and work alongside them to achieve goals that are meaningful and important to them.

It’s a pleasure to work in a small but mighty unit, delivering person-centred care to all that we meet. "

🎲 Games Group at Manton Heights ABI Unit 🎯

Today, some of our patients took part in a fun and interactive Games Group as part of their rehabilitation programme.

The session was designed to encourage upper and lower body movement, while also working on coordination, balance, reaching, strength and mobility. Activities like these can also support concentration, problem-solving, communication and social interaction – all while making therapy enjoyable and engaging.

It was great to see everyone getting involved, encouraging one another and having some fun along the way! 👏😊

Another great example of how rehabilitation can be both purposeful and enjoyable. 💪🧠

It’s always wonderful to hear about the positive impact our team has made during someone’s rehabilitation journey. We’re so pleased Chas looks back on his time at Manton Heights with such fond memories. 💙
