Enhancing Mobility through Physiotherapy: The Role of Mobility Aids In the world of physiotherapy, mobility aids play a pivotal role in improving the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges, particularly those living with conditions like Parkinson’s disease. As a physiotherapist, I see firsthand how these tools — from walkers to canes and wheelchairs — can empower patients, promoting independence and enhancing safety during everyday activities. But effective use of mobility aids goes beyond just selecting the right device. It’s about personalized training, building strength, and creating tailored rehabilitation plans that maximize mobility and confidence. Whether it’s improving balance, reducing the risk of falls, or facilitating recovery post-surgery, mobility aids combined with a targeted physiotherapy plan can make a significant difference. Let’s continue to advocate for tools and therapies that enable individuals to live with greater freedom and dignity. #Physiotherapy #MobilityAids #Rehabilitation #NeuroPhysiotherapy #ParkinsonsDisease #PatientCare

The physiotherapy shortage in the UK is stiffening up the entire healthcare system! According to The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, we need a 7% increase in physiotherapy roles every year just to keep up with demand. Right now, people with MSK conditions like back pain or joint issues are facing extended waiting times, prolonged pain, and slower recovery. Meanwhile, with physiotherapists' increased workloads, and clinician burnout rocketing, it’s clear we need more hands on deck to keep MSK services moving. Why is this important? If the NHS's MSK challenges go unresolved, minor aches could escalate into serious conditions requiring surgery, emergency care, or long-term pain management. All of this piles the pressure on waiting lists, mental health services and A&E. Read more about the physiotherapist shortage in The Guardian ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gMVF-was

During our webinar, “Hospitals & Beyond: Innovating the Future of Care Delivery,” speakers spoke on the future landscape of health care, including the growing popularity of surgery centers and in-home care. Nick Stupakis of Helion focused on the growing need for in-home care for our loved ones. The role of a caretaker takes its toll. Providing health care in the home makes the patient feel more comfortable, while offering some relief to the caretaker. An app on your phone doesn’t solve all the pain points with caretaking. A full system approach is needed. Think about the end-to-end delivery and the point of view of the consumer/caretaker. #PBGH #PBGHPA #PeopleYouTrust #caretaker #InHomeCare

As many as two-thirds of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have been found to be anemic at admission, and its prevalence continues to increase during ICU stay, reaching as much as 95% within a few days.

Did you know that knee osteoarthritis costs Australians $4.3 billion every year? Affecting 2.1 million fellow Australians, a recent study conducted by researchers from Monash University and La Trobe University has found that nationally structured education and exercise therapy can help mitigate the need for a 'total knee replacement', saving taxpayers’ hard-earned money. ‘There is some Australian data that suggests that for about one in three Australians who have a knee replacement, the surgery is unwarranted because they don’t have severe enough symptoms and/or severe enough joint deterioration.’ says Dr Sean Docking, a health economist from the School of Public Health and Preventative Medicine at Monash University.

✔️ I recently had the opportunity to treat a patient with Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy who initially presented with an uneven walking pattern. 🦾 After recommending a knee orthotic, we started a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, including stabilization, strengthening, and balance training. One month later, I’m proud to see significant improvements in their walking pattern. 🙌😇 Moments like these make me proud to be part of the physiotherapy profession, where understanding a patient’s unique needs can transform their quality of life. #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #cerebralpalsy #CP #balancetraining #patientcare #physio #proudphysio
