    Re: Mental Health Physiotherapy

    Working with MH people is my first job. I work with one gentleman who is recieving Physio after sustaining damage to his pelvis, don't know the details?

    My own experience on it is: Patient compliance can be very low, depending on how much their MH incapacitates them? They will know that what they are doing is required as that's what they've been told, but the very nature of MH often means working with people who have very poor bio-mechanics, tight muscles etc, all adding to a mix that makes for little head way. A staff supporting team who will usually work with the client with MH is obviously important.

    The downside of my job is that the gentleman I mentioned who is recieving physio a year after his injury, is still following the same lamanated banal routine. It's just become so token gesture. You see, this is because he is supported by an organisation who support people with MH and likewise with the physio he attends, so the dusty politics come into play because of who your dealing with. Anyway, that's another grumble.
