How to find… Soleus

In the world of soft tissue therapy we love simple ways of remembering things which is why we have acronyms and rhymes to help us remember potentially complex ideas.

Here is one such (unplanned) example…

When we’re learning to identify asymmetries through posture and joint assessment it’s easy to get carried away when we spot something! Always remember that, unless the observed asymmetry is related to complaint the patient presents with, it is just an observation that may or may not become relevant further down the line.

We need to be careful with the words and phrases we use when talking to patients, it’s all too easy to label someone with a ‘syndrome’ or ‘dysfunction’ with the danger being that the patient will identify themselves as such.

This weekend was weekend 2 for the new group and we learned the importance of using the SOAP protocol and the associated ARTS structure to assessment..

Liam demonstrates that it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the amount of information a client may be willing to offer but by sticking to SOAP and ARTS we can retain structure in the assessment process and quickly develop a suitable treatment plan!

A big welcome to our new students starting their Level 5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy last weekend. Here they are on the first morning taking part in a group discussion on what Soft Tissue Therapy actually is and does. Liam was leading the teaching, ably assisted by Claudia.

The next 10 months will be exciting and challenging, but I'm sure our previous graduates would agree that it will be worth all the hard work!

Only a few weeks until the start of our 10-month BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy, and there are still a couple of places available for anyone wishing to enrol. Starting our course in September would mean that next summer you could be graduating as a fully-qualified soft tissue therapist running your own business!

If you’re nervous about taking the plunge please get in touch and chat to us - or have a look at our Student Success Stories (https://ossm.co.uk/blog/) to see where our graduates came from and where they are now.

This could be the start of a life-changing experience – find out more on our website: www.ossm.co.uk or call Lisa on 07590 047076
