I’ve been a Physiotherapist for 15+ years and over the last decade I have seen a positive shift in the profession. Physiotherapists are moving away from largely providing passive treatments to using an active, movement-based approach that empowers and educates patients. This is exciting to me! I have always thought of Physiotherapists as movement specialists but many of us restrict our assessment and treatments to a bed, a room, or a 15 minute time slot.
I strongly believe that to properly assess and treat a patient is to take a step back and spend time observing their movements, see them perform various patterns, challenge coordination and balance in their environment. By observing basic human movements such as a deep squat, you can quickly screen the spine and extremities, and assess joint range of motion and strength. Assessing for control and joint dissociation should be as simple as asking the client to do another task. Can they do it or not? If not, I want to be able to give the patient the tools to be able to achieve the task and in the future, have them be able to add complexity into those basic human movements.
For this type of Physiotherapy, I require floor space as well as simple but effective equipment such as dowels, hanging stations, free weights, lifting bars and open wall space. MOVE TO MOVE provides this environment as well as it will provide a seamless transition back to an environment and a community that promotes injury prevention and optimizing human movement for the rest of your life.
