Do you know that.. Stair climbing can help you achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

Stair climbing increases leg power and may be an important priority in reducing the risk of injury from falls in the elderly.

It takes a skilled and dedicated multidisciplinary team to deliver good care to patients. We are just one (very important) part of that.

3) When in hospital unwell on CPAP some people can lose fitness. This can make it harder to reduce their CPAP support when they are ready to breathe on their own. Physios help patients to exercise/maintain fitness. For some patients this is key to them getting off the CPAP.

2) physios can also assess the best position for a patient to help oxygen get into their lungs. This can be lying on their front, lying on their side or sitting over the edge of the bed leaning forward on a table and pillows. This is an important treatment for COVID-19.

[Rebecca Livingston @RebeccaMLiv]

As you’d imagine phlegm clogging your airways prevents oxygen getting into your body. Oxygenation is already an uphill struggle in Covid. Physios clear these secretions with breathing exercises, manipulating CPAP settings, shaking the patients chest, and other treatments.

[Rebecca Livingston @RebeccaMLiv]

1) We help patients clear phlegm from their lungs. Patients can develop chest infections on top of COVID. CPAP (used to treat severe COVID infection) forces air into their lungs to help them breathe. This also pushes phlegm down into the airways making it difficult to clear.

Don't forget to rest.
You've worked all year, your business won't fail simply because you took a few days off for yourself.

Rest.

#painmanagement
a lot of people find the correct pooping posture limiting due to the special effort needed to squat. Pooping the right way by squatting helps the flexion within the hips to allow the rectoanal canal to straighten.

We are not less of a human just because we are persons with disabilities. We deserve love, respect, attention and an inclusive society. Don't just make the decisions for us, make it *WITH* us!
