💧At 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨, keeping everyone safe in and around the pool is always at the heart of what we do. That’s why our team recently completed the 𝑹𝑳𝑺𝑺 𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒖𝒆 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 (𝑨𝑻𝑷𝑹𝑨 𝑳𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑻) course.

The training is essential for us as it means we can make every aquatic physiotherapy session we offer as safe as possible, giving you peace of mind.

The course covered all the important areas for our aquatic therapy sessions:

💧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭
💧 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
💧 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲

Some areas that we focused on were:

💧 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬💧
💧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬💧

And after a long and wet day’s training 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒍𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔! (Well done team!)

We came away with a revised understanding of our responsibilities as aquatic therapists, we refreshed our CPR and emergency rescue skills and we also gained greater confidence in how to act quickly and responsively to any situation.

By investing in up-to-date training for all the 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, we hope that it provides you with the reassurance that your safety is our priority. We’re really proud to say that we have the skills and training needed to keep every aquatic therapy session we offer safe, welcoming and positive for your whole family.💧

⭐️ We at StarPhysio are always learning and searching for new ways to make a difference with the families that we work with. Recently four of our team attended the world summit for 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

⭐️ This year’s focus was the exciting new treatment of 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧(𝐓𝐒𝐍.) A non-surgical treatment that could help people with cerebral palsy move more freely. The passion and knowledge of the event leaders 𝐷𝑟 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑒 𝐸𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑜n and 𝐷𝑟 𝑆𝑢𝑠𝑎𝑛 𝐻𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠, was 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. We came away full of ideas about how this might benefit the families that we support.

⭐️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐒𝐍? TSN uses gentle electrical currents placed on the skin over the spine. There’s 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝. It helps to “wake up” the spinal cord so that messages from the brain travel more effectively to the muscles. Used alongside exercise and regular physiotherapy, TSN can act like an 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐫, helping the nervous system to build stronger connections and relearn movement patterns more efficiently.

⭐️ 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩? Improvements are being seen across different ages and levels of ability. Children and adults with cerebral palsy have shown better control, less stiffness and greater independence. It also seems to make other therapies work more effectively.

⭐️ 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. TSN could represent one of the most important advances in cerebral palsy treatment in recent years. It’s early days though and we’re watching the research closely. The experts encouraged 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐦 while more clinics share their experiences.

⭐️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬. Staying at the 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 of new treatments means that the care we offer is always informed by the best available evidence and our families have access to the latest, safest treatment options.

⭐️ We are excited to see where TSN leads next.⭐️
