β€˜Dancing was a major part of my recovery’

Scottie was in a coma for three days after fracturing his skull in a cycling accident. Before the accident he had met Katie at a beginners dance class and was determined to dance with her again.

Scottie said β€œThe act of dancing, just the act of rhythmic movement, going around in circles, and just my brain telling my body to do basic moves, I think that was a major part of my recovery”.

Headway, the brain injury association say around 350,000 people go to hospital each year in the UK with a diagnosis of brain injury.
