Physiotherapy job: Sufferers told to take control
Wednesday 6th October 2010
A new programme is launching in Yorkshire which is encouraging people to seek help if they are in pain, which will be of interest to those looking for a physiotherapy job.
Experts from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have teamed up with other healthcare professionals to form the Pain Management Plan, which will deliver a new booklet and CD for those suffering from persistent pain.
Tracy Sanderson, a physio and plan collaborator, told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "We know that in the Yorkshire region one in seven people suffer from long-term pain. This can be incredibly debilitating for those patients who have to tolerate pain and discomfort day in, day out."
She went on to say that this new programme aims to help patients take control of their lives through structured physiotherapy sessions and helps them see that they can manage the pain, rather than the pain managing them.
Recently golfer Stephen Gallagher praised an expert in a physiotherapy job for enabling him to participate in this week's Dunhill Links Championship.
