The Team assist with MNDA Factsheet

Posted on July 18, 2013 by Emma - Uncategorized

Recently, the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) sought the advise of the team in production of their Factsheets. Our Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams have assisted in compiling their Fact Sheet No 21: Physiotherapy for people with MND.

The MNDA recognised Heather Taylor‘s expertise in hydrotherapy, and Heather was quoted to say “Utilising the buoyancy of the human body in water, the participant can be handled easily by the Physiotherapist. Away from the pull of gravity the individual can achieve a feeling of weightlessness and freedom not accessible on dry land. As a result they may be able to move weak or painful limbs that are too difficult on dry land.“

You can view a copy of the Factsheet by clicking on the image below. For further information visit our Hydrotherapy page.

Heather has also written an article for the MNDA publication Thumb Print and we excitedly await its publication.

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!

I am delighted to endorse the team at SP Therapy Services. They consistently provide exceptional therapy and support their practice with sound, detailed documentation, which always arrives in a timely manner. The friendly clinicians are a credit to this fabulous company and it is evident that they always keep their patients at the centre of everything they do.
