Patsy Smith's husband, Tony Smith, isn't a physiotherapist, but his days are focused on helping his wife regain some movement in the limbs on the left side of her body.

The couple lives in St. Anthony, N.L., a small community on Newfoundland's northern tip. A number of months ago, a physiotherapist visiting the region gave Tony Smith tips to help with his wife's mobility that they've practiced every day since.

It's the only rehabilitation Smith receives, after the family's applications for professional therapy from Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services were repeatedly denied.
