'We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust and care for each other.' – Vala Afshar.
The patients I see for physiotherapy usually experience pain, have difficulty moving, or even struggle to clear their phlegm. I would assess their needs based on the cause of their pain, their fall risk, and if they require maintenance of strength. Through the assessment, I would then be able to prescribe the best suited exercises that ensure the patients will be able to conduct the exercises safely on their own. In Alex, we work as a team with other healthcare professionals, discussing and providing a holistic approach in caring for each patient.
Apart from seeing patients admitted to the hospital, I also see patients in the community. I teach these patients some exercises that they can easily manage at home. Our team conducts exercise classes for seniors to maintain their physical fitness as well.
What we do matters in people's lives. We were able to prevent a stroke patient in his early 30s from staying in a nursing home for the rest of his life. He was unable to walk after suffering from a stroke, and his elderly parents were unable to take care of him. Our physiotherapy team held a discussion as we felt that if he were to be sent to a nursing home, the chances of him being able to walk again would be very low. Albeit challenging, we decided to take on this challenge to help him recover. As there were uncertainties, we advocated for a longer duration of therapy for him and worked hard as a team for his rehabilitation. At the end, we were delighted to be able to help him walk on his own.
