When Allan Lowson went along to his first class at Douglas Sports Centre in Baldovie Terrace, he was in a wheelchair.
After the 70-year-old Dundonian suffered a stroke in 2017 he couldn’t walk after losing strength in his arms and legs.
Allan also experienced aphasia – a language and communication disorder which can affect someone’s ability to speak, read and write.
It is most often caused by strokes in the left side of the brain that control speech and language.
