 | Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 I'm tweeting from the Physiotalk account tonight. I work with older people in Fife #physiotalk |
 | Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hi, a little late to the party. Mel from AHP Suffolk in Sudbury 👋 #physiotalk |
 | Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] Hi! Rotational Physio in Suffolk currently working in paediatrics, but still on-call with older patients and treat adults in private work #Physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] And I’m in Women’s health and MSK outpatients over 16 yo #physiotalk |
 | Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 Hi, Rachel, working in a community MSK service in Staffordshire.#physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes - with my older patients can be a real struggle as they are frail and often quite deconditioned and fatigued #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I agree it can be a battle. But with the majority of patients if you can connect with them and find an activity they enjoy it can snowball from there #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Inaccessibility a huge issue for my patient population as well. Lack of accessible or affordable transport often #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] Major barrier themes definitely the social isolation, transport issues and lack of confidence leaving the house independently #physiotalk |
| Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 I find patients’ barriers to exercise are pain, fatigue, thinking they will do damage, reconditioning, lack of motivation, lack of knowledge as to what is available.#physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] This is spot on! 🙌🏼 #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] Often my patients can be more or less housebound - so its just getting them on their feet as much as possible during the day Sit to stands during the ad breaks is a start! #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #whatmatterstoyou probably the most important hashtag, except #physiotalk which I keep forgetting! |
| Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 That should be deconditioning. #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] And I realise having plenty of time doesn’t solve everything, as you say skill set is key too. #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] Working with well established community services (NHS, charities, leisure centres etc) which have long-term capacity and groups so individuals get physical activity and social interaction #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] Goal setting is first on the list and identifying barriers to introducing activity. Sometimes it’s not pain but the worry that exercising will make them structurally worse or eventually negatively influence pain. Can’t assume everyone has the same concerns #physiotalk |
| Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 I try & inform patients of simple functional exercises & of local activities that maybe pertinent to them. #physiotalk |
| @ [REDACTED USER] A: Challenges tend to stem from fear because patients aren't already exercising, as well as pain and a lack of knowledge about benefits and where to begin. #PhysioTalk | |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] For some services capacity is definitely an issue, less so the self-funded groups but there are so many services/groups etc which are poorly advertised we/patients don’t know about and capitalise on - part of the battle is establishing those connections! #physiotalk #community |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Do you check the qualifications of the instructor? At least then you know the class is appropriate for your level of patient? #physiotalk |
| @ [REDACTED USER] A: First ensure that those living with a long term condition know their limits. Then, finding an activity that sparks joy - such as taking a walk, or doing a quick chore, can easily be turned into a healthy activity. #PhysioTalk | |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Provide plenty of support and guidance so that these patients feel empowered by & confident in any activity they do take up or increase. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @UnityPhysio [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes - helpful to know See https://t.co/4Wf7t74Jwe for some idea of levels of qualifications #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Got mine already, it’s a fantastic resource, I’d highly recommend it! #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] Sometimes it’s working through the denial and shock of diagnosis initially to build a rapport before even starting those conversations #physiotalk |
| Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 Try to understand their limitations of their LTC & advise accordingly. Also realise they can push themselves #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I feel your pain!! Our leisure centre doesn’t even advertise their over 65 exercise classes even though they have a great programme! #physiotalk |
| @ [REDACTED USER] A: By monitoring symptoms and, in turn, modifying activities. When helping patients with an LTC, use their progress as a way to set goals on a day-to-day basis. #PhysioTalk | |
| Rachel Jackson @Rachelej1971 I get reward from helping patients with persistent LBP gain confidence in their backs & reduce their fear of moving their backs. Some patients gain a new lease of life as they realise they don’t have to protect their back. #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ Not long left to get these free resources delivered to your door.. and even more online! #LoveActivity #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Definitely another challenge we could do without!! #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 A patient who had fallen and lost all confidence to go on public transport. Previously had always gone on trips #FreeBusPass with her friend - who sadly had just died #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 Work to improve strength, balance, confidence and finally she decided she was going to try getting on the local bus #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 Previously she and her friend has done something they called #BusLottery Turning up at bus station and getting on the first bus going out and seeing there it took them #physiotalk #NeverTooOldToTakeAChance |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 Came back in next week and I asked her if she had managed on the bus? #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 Not only had she managed to walk to bus stop, get on bus and get to bus station, she had decided to try #BusLottery and got all the way to Glasgow (and back!) #NoStoppingHerNow #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] Who knows.... The advantage of #BusLottery though is that its free! #physiotalk |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk [REDACTED USER] Way back to a placement, a lovely gentleman in his 50s with a progressive neuro disorder who was struggling with activity,found out he used to love ballroom dancing. Waltzed through the hydro pool with him & he was so happy, only time I’ve cried in front of a patient! #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 [REDACTED USER] Personal approach / good conversation Small staged steps if needed But always make it fun! #physiotalk |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] Definitely resources available at https://t.co/15y5WlUhad to start having those conversations, making it less scary and less medical/clinical #physiotalk #LoveActivity |
| Allied Health Professionals Suffolk CIC @AHPSuffolk RT @JanetThomas47: [REDACTED USER] Personal approach / good conversation Small staged steps if needed But always make it fun! #physiotalk |
| @ [REDACTED USER] A: There was a patient in her late 70s who arrived in a walker. Once we were able to convince her that she would be safe & gave her the tools to succeed, she was able to start walking without her walker. Now she loves to exercise and going for walks in her community! #PhysioTalk | |
| Becca Tapley @BeccaTapley_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! 🙌🏼 #physiotalk |
| @ [REDACTED USER] A: Ensuring that physical therapy patients leave with a plan to help them thrive and continue activity in the future. #PhysioTalk |
