In the times of growing older population, having a tool to take the burden off of our healthcare system is crucial. Physiotherapy as a profession provides that.
What do they really want- very basic few things like all of us:
1. Less/no hospitalisation
2. Stay independent and safe for as long as possible
3. Stay in their homes, and to not have to move into an aged care.

This is all achievable and your local physio can help with that.

Have a read at this great article on how physiotherapy as a profession, has a great economic value in our current healthcare system.

As a profession, the health benefits and effectiveness of our interventions and the value we provide to the health care sector is proven in the research literature.

Picture this:
An 81 yr old goes to their GP with shoulder pain and limited range (cannot lift her shoulder beyond 20 degrees). He says "Mrs. M, here are some painkillers. You will be alright." Nil effect (no surprise!)
Mrs. M goes to another health professional, and after an assessment (apparently), he says "Mrs. M, you are 81. You are not going to fly at this age. Do not worry about your shoulder."

Two years later, Mrs. M meets another health professional visiting their home (surprise, it is me :-)). She is now worried about her scoliosis and associated back pain, for which she sought intervention. During the assessment, when asked about the shoulder history, Mrs. M casually stated she is aware that she has to live with her shoulder like this now.

Fast forward three months, and now Mrs. M has gone back to her favorite activity, swimming (she is superexcited that pools are open). She can manage full backstroke, butterfly stroke and all sorts of different tricks with no pain.

So proud of you Mrs. M. You are an inspiration.
