Activity-Based Therapy in Action
Here’s Kathryns activity based therapy session at First Steps Wellness Centre!
The Concept2 SkiErg uses a pulling motion similar to skiing to help strengthen the arms, shoulders, back, and core while supporting coordination and endurance. The machine can be used from a seated position, making it an adaptable option for many individuals, including wheelchair users.
The SCIFIT exercise machine provides upper- and lower-body exercise options to support strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. Which can be adjusted to individual abilities and goals.
We’re so grateful to share these moments and highlight the equipment and activities that make our mission meaningful.

We want to take a moment to express a heartfelt gratitude to all of our amazing volunteers who continue to give their time and energy to help us work towards reopening First Steps Wellness Centre.
To our community, thank you for showing up, attending our fundraisers, supporting our initiatives, sharing our posts, and helping spread the word about our mission. Every person who contributes in their own way helps keep hope alive.
Reopening First Steps Wellness Centre is about more than reopening a building. It's about bringing back a place that has meant so much to so many people and continuing to make a difference in the lives of those who need us.
We still have work to do, but we're grateful to have so many people standing behind this mission. Thank you for being part of the journey and reminding us what can happen when a community comes together. 💚❤️💛

❤️ WE NEED YOUR HELP. ❤️
First Steps Wellness Centre is working towards re-opening Manitoba’s rehabilitation centre for people living with neurological conditions. Including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke, MS and cerebral palsy.
For many of the people we serve, rehabilitation is about more than therapy. It is about movement, independence, hope and quality of life. 💙
We’re asking our community to help us take the next step. 👣
