Thank you for sharing! Therapeutic alliance is key to treatment, as a physio it is particularly true for chronic conditions (pain or other condition). It is a founding pillar for any treatment plan.
A core member of research teams. ❤

Today is world physiotherapy #day.
#Physiotherapy is not a #luxury. Our scope is wide and we #positively #impact the life of people. Times are rough in many countries for several reasons. Stay together, stay strong, and safe if you can.
Keep up the great work you are all doing!

I see manual therapy as a tool in our toolbox to best suit the patient, who comes with lived experience, beliefs opinions, feelings, values and much more. As greatly mentioned here. Especially if we talk about chronic pain, the psychosocial part of the biopsychosocial becomes prominent.
Freezing is the #trend.
Oh, I forgot the #CNOMK for #France, where tariff were frozen (that is a bit the #trend from #governments)

Governments want to decrease #spending, at least the #healthcare-related part.
#Physiotherapy is within reach, just ask #APA, #Physioswiss, #KNGF, and #CSP.
Unfortunately we have to speak #economics. Improvements and better quality of life are not enough for governments.

In the last few weeks I have been travelling quite a bit.
I had the chance to visit #China, #Japan, and #SouthKorea.
I did present my #poster at the #WCPT2025 in #Tokyo and met so many #inspiring #people. Now back to travelling through #Switzerland.

#Biking on #daysoff is a treat in #Switzerland. 🇨🇭
Great for both the #body and the #mind.

@harvard.edu (amongst others) has shown that there are moments you should #standup.
The orange puppet is also withholding funds intended to the community (hospitals and so on). Isn't that #elitist?

One #year ago we had just started our #adventure in French Guiana. 🦥🐢🐟🐍🕷🌴 It was an #amazing #experience! 🤩

The last one is perfectly in their style. In a second I was thrown back at the beginning of the millenium with my friends trying to play their songs in a basement. Same clothes, summer evenings, makes no difference choreography... Thanks for everything The Sums! 🙏🏻😉

#Sunday at the #Zinal #glacier. Some needed #break in the #nature to detox from what's going on out there. 😌
We are so small compared to nature...
Having a Dutch person telling you that you've made a dumb decision: meh, I did expect it. 🙄
Having a Canadian telling you that you have made a dumb decision: I must have f***ed up big time. 😳 1/

Imagine someone told you that they heard doctors say that there is no point for patients in doing until at least 8 days post-stroke. And that neuroplasticity starts after that and there is not many gains after 3 months.
How would you reply to this?

Blessed to live in such a place 😊

Thanks for sharing! Really interesting. I suppose one of the next steps would be to determine "how early is too early". #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy

The biggest #highlight of 2024?
Definitely sleeping in a #hammock, in a #prison on a former penal colony (island in the Atlantic).

2024: I spent 3 months in French Guiana and got closer to #nature. Finished my MSc in #Neurorehabilitation, and now steadily #teaching.
Lots of new experiences with my better half by my side. ❣
2025: there's plenty I'd like to do.
Happy new year 2025 everyone! 🥳

In 2024 we were meant to spend 3 months on #Mayotte as #physios. Despite the difficult #social situation and #violence, we were intrigued.
The the worst #drought since 97 took place. And now #cycloneChido.
No rest for this #island. A fascinating #place.

These are really cool sessions! 😊

I am sorry to read stories like this. 😔 It is not the way I would like to be treated if I found myself on the patient/client side.
Thanks for the reply! 🙏🏻 It is definitely a learning point. I understand and agree: continuity of care can make a huge difference. On the top of that, we often overlook the financial aspect, that can put a lot of strain on people. And transparency is also important, in therapy time and billing.
What would make you be willing to go back? And what should your PT have done differently for your sessions?
(I am genuinely asking, despite your PTs should ask that to you).
Same team that successfully implanted other SCI and Parkinsin's disease patients in the past two years. Very promising! :-)

Even more recently, the same lab used a lateral #thalamus implant to help a #sci patient to walk again.
Back in the day, #exoskeletons seemed to be #promising, but costs have been the biggest #barrier.
Do you think this is the #future of our profession?
