Hi I'm on the @physiotalk account tonight from a slightly overcast (but dry at least!) Edinburgh #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
Having just taken part in #WMTY19 then a lot of my patients cited family as what matters to them #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@AlistairBeverl1 @physiotalk Indeed! When making appointments for my frail older adults I have to start with when can you come in - usually based on family support available #physiotalk

Oftentimes you hear of cultures where the family is such an integral part of their lives recover faster #physiotalk

#physiotalk apologies

@physiotalk #physiotalk And we should also consider how we as patients/people needing/seeking care impact on the lives of those responding to our needs, both in emergencies and in daily life and future planning
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@ClaireC_PT @physiotalk Yes - most of the goals people set (in my work with older adults at least) are around either getting out or doing things with their families #physiotalk

@physiotalk @AlistairBeverl1 As a person exploring the dual role of physio & patient, I have to say that my best pool & land 'therapy' experiences have been taking the opportunity to teach others (family, therapists, friends & even strangers) what I am doing, why & what I need to do better! #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
Its always good when a family member comes to an appointment or assessment. Can reinforce what is needed for rehab and factor in how much support they can offer #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
In fact for falls rehab the spouse often chips in that they 'could do' with work on their own strength and balance, and they end up exercising together! #physiotalk

@physiotalk #physiotalk phenomenally important ito support in every way, esp the collaborative aspect eg son & 2 grandsons being part of the 12 person team (my #AdaptiveSurfing family) carrying me out into the waves + coaches #NSRI & other volunteers incl people I've treated & their families
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@ClaireC_PT @physiotalk Does your appointment letter invite family members? Ours does to our MDT joint assessment and often helpful to have family there #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@ClaireC_PT @physiotalk Typically of course, I've realised during chat that whilst MDT Ax does, our physio only appointment letter doesn't! One for next day at work... #JustNeedToRemember #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@physiotalk My patients are often carers themselves; or their spouses are also frailer older adults. It is a huge consideration around support v carer stress #physiotalk

@physiotalk #physiotalk Also being part of change & recording it on video for learning & celebration eg surfing, walking, stair-climbing Best of all creating a sense of normality eg fetching me for family Sunday braai & juggling wheelchair & walker & so I can take myself to the toilet

@physiotalk @PamKHphysio The advantage of a SA teacher during my training... I think its a barbeque?! #physiotalk

@physiotalk From a survey Bliuc, Costea, Mihai and Stratulat (2018) noted that educating family members including looking at their needs, can encourage them to support the patients even more.#physiotalk
Pamela Kipps Hansford @PamKHphysio
@physiotalk #physiotalk Enjoyed working in people's homes, eating meals tog, creating great play areas/games/fun ways to energize through exercise & esp seeing the faces of people & their families light up when they could play/work/ breathe more easily in comfort with attn 2 quality of movt

Pamela Kipps Hansford @PamKHphysio
@physiotalk #physiotalk mixture & more eg working collaboratively as agents of change with challenges of daily living in own environments @ school/work/on sportsfield, in pool, on beach; analysing what's happening together, coaching=>better performance over what's app using photos and videos
