We’ve had a hectic but interesting few days up in Glasgow at the Annual Stroke Forum. We were working alongside Ectron showing patients and other health professionals how cutting-edge technologies can we used with great effect in Stroke rehab.
We recently spent 3 days in snowy Glasgow attending the National Stroke forum. We were there with a team from ‘Ectron’: a local Bristol company that are striving to be at the forefront of distributing rehabilitation technology.
In the past week I have been in touch with Ape Action Africa and IDA Africa. They were able to give me progress reports on the animals I had worked with whilst in Cameroon…
I helped to run a Saebo assessment day today at the Nuffield Hospital in Bristol, along with Amy Bean, a neurophysiotherapist from Saebo.
Patients were given the opportunity to visit our clinic and try the Saeboflex and Saeboreach for free.
Frontline magazine, the publication of physiotherapists, has published an article about our work in Cameroon. It reads:
"A Bristol neurophysiotherapist has been using her specialist skills to treat disabled apes in Cameroon.
I spent the afternoon today at Helios Medical Centre in Bristol talking to a group of GPs about how physiotherapy can benefit people with neurological disorders.
The talk was well received and generated some really useful discussion around how physios and GPs can best work together to benefit our patients.
I’ve just returned from Cameroon after an exhausting but incredible three weeks!
Our daughter’s renal failure means that she is delayed with standing and walking at 2 and half years of age. We first started seeing Jules a few months back for an intense block of physiotherapy to build the strength and skills needed for her to eventually stand and walk. It was really important that the physiotherapist specialised in paediatrics and could work alongside the NHS physiotherapists we also see. Jules immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional approach and has built a good, trusting relationship with our daughter. She uses play as a way to get our daughter to engage with the therapy. Our daughter has really enjoyed all her physio sessions to date and we have seen a notable improvement in her movement. She has begun to pull herself up and can climb up small steps as well as shuffle down stairs in a controlled manner!
