On Wednesday 1st February 2017, 23 final year BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation students visited Hannah’s at Seale-Hayne in Newton Abbot.
The objective of the day was to integrate the principles of sport rehabilitation into group rehabilitation settings. The morning session, led by Vicki Evans and Alex Walker, enabled students mimicking a range of upper and lower limb pathologies to all participate in the same group rehabilitation session. Students were able to recognise that with small adaptations and considerations of progression and regression markers, full participation is achievable even with large groups.
The afternoon session began with a lecture from Dr Gary Shum highlighting the principles of Hydrotherapy as part of rehabilitation. Students were split into groups for the afternoon sessions where Sherrie Choy worked through clinical case studies, Alex Walker ran land-based rehabilitation sessions and Vicki Evans and Sarah Martin ran Hydrotherapy rehabilitation sessions in the pool.
BSc Sports Therapy student Francesca Traxton said:
The hydrotherapy day was really interesting and it was great to have the practical element as well as the theory. It was also really useful to have the land based rehabilitation in the morning so we were able to compare the two approaches.Callie Rawle added:
I really enjoyed the day. I lack confidence with exercises etc so it was good practise for me. I felt the hydro bit was fab and informative
She just wishes they had longer in the pool to learn even more exercises!
A great day of CPD and our special thanks to the excellent facilities provided to us by Hannahs.
