Mobile Physio And International Medical Students And Young Physician Program

By Debra Brooks


For the longest time people suffering from pain or injuries that have impaired their movement have had to endure hardships in making that pain go away. Physiotherapy has always been their saving grace but to get to these locations in order to obtain some peace has been an uphill battle. That no longer has to be the case with international medical students and young physician program and their mobile physio program.

But this isn t just something that can be called on a whim if you need someone to scratch your back. Home visits aren't uncommon but they cost more as health professionals are called in and they have to bring the equipment required for them to do their job efficiently with them. And for that, you need to pay.

The world is a tough place to navigate with social convention governing how things are done and even more so if you happen to be different in any way. Be it due to disability or injury, regardless of whether it s temporary or for a much more substantial period of time. It makes getting around when in pain a momentous affair. But having your source of help come to you and not the other way round makes a big difference.

Going to a hospital or clinic or any healthcare facility that offers therapy of this nature is good. But an often unavoidable fact is that the sterile nature of the setting can bring about feelings of death or be a stark reminder of illness. Home visits take this away, resulting in a more comfortable patient. Although a clinical setting may be a better option in some regards, eliminating as many stressors like waiting times and traveling may result in a more effective session.

The added benefit comfort brings to therapy deserves a list of its own but assistance at home provides another crucial asset on the road to recovery. It s a much safer route to take. This is very much the case for individuals who have difficulty moving to be it due to disability or injury. Or may simply put themselves at risk of infection in mozzying about in public.

This sense of care extends to modifications that can be made that won t break the bank and be easily made at home. This includes but is not limited to exercises that may make it easier for you as a patient to navigate the space you encompass on a daily basis through provisions that make it practical and safe to move around, depending on your needs and the extent of your injuries/disability.

The equipment that these mobile therapist use whilst on the go is no different to the ones you ll find in fixed locations. The major difference being the equipment s ability to be transported around via the use of a small vehicle, making it easy to move from one appointment to the next. Another advantage to having mobile equipment is that it can be tailor-made to the needs of each individual patient, be it pain relief, muscle strengthening or both.

Mobile physio does what it says on the tin. It offers a whole host of benefits to people who need it the most by becoming more accessible in different locations, including at home.
