The Role of Physiotherapy in Recovery
The CAMTA Physiotherapy team rehabilitates patients post-surgery through various exercises and education. These post-op exercises are vital for successful recoveries.
Physiotherapist Rachel Oates helps Jenny to walk with the use of crutches. Jenny has a discrepancy between the length of her legs so Rachel devised a lift for one of her shoes using tape and the arm pads of crutches. The CAMTA team is arranging for Jenny to have a special shoe altered to make her legs similar in length. |
Rachel helps Jenny to practice stairs with the aid of Translator Alexandra Tapia. |
