Well said, @Maree72 - exercise is definitely a part of the recuperation process & should be covered for those recovering from nasty side effects such as you've experienced xx.
I missed the webinar but will check it out when it is made available for all ...
My main exercise is my fishing kayak - it is a pedal kayak, so I get most of my exercise to my hips & knees but with all the casting I do, my arms & shoulders get a real workout as well! (Like you, I am not that fussed on walking - and I've NEVER been a runner - I would trip on a blade of grass facing the wrong way ...)
What age are you? I don't know about NDIS - but have you been assessed for Community Support (for help in the house/garden) or a Home Care Package, as you are obviously badly affected? The Home Care Packages often pay fees related to exercise - I know they did for my husband at the Hydrotherapy Pool. Check out MyAgedCare (www.myagedcare.gov.au) re assessment requirements ....
Sometimes there are local groups who get together to promote exercise (not always with fees ...) Do you have a local newspaper? Ours lists them all!! Or check out community groups in your area on Facebook & ask some questions? Libraries/Shopping Centres often have notice boards where people can put up enquiries too, re getting together for numerous pursuits ....
take care & all the best xx
