Susan and Lucy up their skills in optimising function of the lower limb

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Emma - Uncategorized

On Saturday, Susan and Lucy attended a course on “The Lower Limb and The Importance of the Kinetic Chain in Developing Propulsion and Power for Function” by Clare Fraser, Bobath Tutor. The course was arranged by Neuro Therapy Excellence (a group of independent practices dedicated to identifying standards in neurotherapy), of which Susan Pattison Ltd is a founder member, and was hosted by Burscough Neuro Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre in Ormskirk.

The day-long course began with a lecture on the theoretical underpinning of the role of the kinetic chain in lower limb function and the evidence behind this, followed by a hands-on workshop of practical techniques for use with patients. The day culminated in a live patient assessment workshop followed by an open and interactive clinical reasoning discussion. It was a fascinating and useful day, and Susan and Lucy have plenty of ideas for putting into practice the techniques and clinical reasoning with their own patients.

I am the Chair/Co-ordinator of Bolton Neuro Voices, a small local charity. I first contacted SP Therapy Services in 2012 when I was looking for a neuro physiotherapist to help us pilot a new Hydrotheraoy Course for people with long-term neurological conditions. Since then Susan Pattison and her staff have helped us to deliver ten courses to a total of more than 200 people and to facilitate the progress of many on to ongoing Continuation Programmes. Her expertise and willingness to listen and respond to our needs and those of our very varied participants is hugely appreciated and our partnership has gone from strength to strength. I unreservedly recommend this practice.

Andy provided a very thorough and considered physiotherapy assessment of a client with complex needs. His report was to a very high standard and underpinned all immediate and long term therapy needs. Thank you!
