Midwinter Physiotherapy

A big thanks to Phil at Cotswold First Aid for such an engaging, educational day in Bourton On The Water for our First Aid and Basic Life Support training.

What could have been a tad boring (unfortunately my lived experience with mandatory training) was turned into a really interesting and useful day with the Midwinter Physiotherapy team thanks to Phil's experienced and humour. It helped that I won the CPR test so was rather smug about that, I think the team got an insight into how competitive I am.

I have since reflected on our policies and procedures to ensure we use them to help us rather than add red tape. Helping me to make meaningful changes to our service and not have processes for the sake of it.

💜 What an incredible first day at the ACPPLD Annual Learning Event!

I was honoured to speak on the impact of respiratory needs for people with learning disabilities, and I hope I gave colleagues more confidence in exploring treatment options that can truly change lives.

But what really struck me was how relevant and powerful the other sessions were:
✨ Bowel massage
✨ Osteoporosis
✨ Inequalities
✨ Thinking beyond the purely clinical

Each one challenged me to reflect. The message that kept coming through? Reasonable adjustments matter. Small, thoughtful changes can unlock the biggest impact for the people we support.

I’m heading into Day 2 inspired, energised, and ready to keep learning how, together, we can raise the bar and make a real difference.

That smile says it all, she's a legend and we love giving her the freedom to move ❤️💪

💪 Physical Management in Action 💪

This picture perfectly shows the importance of physical management support in our daily activities.

Standing with Support: For people with PMLD, maintaining different positions throughout the day is vital for their physical health and wellbeing. Standing with support helps with:

💪 Bone density and muscle strength
💪 Circulation and breathing
💪 Digestive health
💪 Social interaction at eye level

More than just physical: While the physical benefits are crucial, standing also opens up social opportunities - being at the same level for conversations, participating in activities from a different perspective, and experiencing the world from a standing position.

Person-centered approach: Every individual has different needs and abilities. Our skilled team works with each person to find the right support, duration, and positioning that works best for them, always prioritizing comfort and dignity.

Physical management isn't just about exercises - it's about enabling participation, promoting health, and enhancing quality of life in meaningful ways.

Physiotherapy is changing lives for people we support in Evesham!

Clare has Rett syndrome and struggles to clear her lungs, meaning she’s at higher risk of chest infections and hospital stays.

For over 10 years, physiotherapist Sian has visited Clare twice a week to provide personalised therapy that keeps her chest clear and helps her stay well.

Sian also trained our support team to use equipment – like Clare’s favourite ‘giggle vest’ – so they can give her the best support every day.

Thanks to Sian’s dedication, Clare’s hospital visits have reduced, and she’s able to enjoy life more comfortably.

“She’s not just a physiotherapist – she’s their friend and champion,” says Service Manager Kelly.

This is what personalised, joined-up support can look like!
