Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder!

Today, Tyspane Care Home residents, families, friends and staff welcomed back Babs Spear (Head of Physiotherapy), believe it or not, Babs only went on holiday for two weeks but she was missed by residents every minute of those two weeks.

Residents, families, friends, professionals and staff at Tyspane Care Home appreciate and understand the importance of daily physiotherapy for the elderly. Physiotherapy is an essential component of healthcare for elderly people. As people age, they are more prone to physical limitations and conditions that can affect their mobility and quality of life. Physiotherapy can help address these issues and improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Babs fully understands that part of her role is to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability which in turn can also help to reduce one’s risk of further injury or illness in the future.

In order to welcome Babs back, Babs organised a morning of physiotherapy for residents, families, friends and professionals. The Activities Lounge was packed as everyone was eager to participate in one of her sessions which included; an exercise class, MOTOMED activities, parallel bars for walking, range of upper and lower body exercises, awareness of space (balance), frames, quad sticks, frames and much more.

Samantha (Resident) said, “The whole morning was amazing, it should be included in our weekly activity planner.”

Claire (Resident) stated, “Normally I decline physiotherapy, but watching others has inspired me.” Pat (Resident) replied, “I am so happy.”

In the words of Babs the key message is, “Use it or lose it.”
