Naturally being who I am I could not make a point or do any kind of encouragement without getting people moving. That's just always how I've been. I like to practically explain why I say what I say. So even if you forget what I said, when you remember the activity or ice breaker you kind of get the just of what I meant.

As a community physiotherapist it's important for me to get involved and make people aware that physiotherapy can play apart in everything, that's what I believe❤️

I had a conversation with one of my clients today. We had a follow up appointment and I asked him how his week was after our last appointment.

He said his feeling alot better, has less pain and is able to walk for very short distances without the walking frame. I asked what is "short" from your bed to the end of your room? He says no, from my bed, straight through my house to the front lawn (my approximation of the distance would be about 25meters). And I said to him, very good! That's not a very short distance at all. He laughed and said yes it is.

I then explained to him why I didn't believe it was a short distance. When I saw him he was mobilizing with a walking frame, in alot of pain and walking with maximum effort (laboured walking with assistance)He was unable to type on his laptop and struggled to raise hand to touch the back of his head. Now, he can walk about 25meters independantly without the presence of pain. He can touch the back of his head and he can type a half page word document.

I said, you are comparing yourself to how you used to function, whilst I'm comparing you to when you could not function. So from my view point, you doing so well!!!!! Which leads me to this point sometimes just to be able, is a blessing❤️

Meet Mia❤️. Mia is my tiniest professional athlete. I started seeing her older sister and now that sis is a young lady doing her thang in the real world with a job and studies to match my next gig is to make sure that Mia is always performance ready, and that we deal with all her injuries, minor or not so that it doesn't keep her from competing and doing what she loves doing❤️. Mia is such a trooper💪🏽, she barely squeals and I know it is painful at times but she takes it like a "professional"🤭

What is peripheral neuropathy?

Let's break down the phrase to make it easier to understand. Peripheral means "farthest away from the center" . The heart is the "center" of the circulatory system. And the brain the center of the central nervous system. So it would make sense why in medical terms we call the hands and feet our peripheries because they are infact farthest away from the heart and brain.

Neuro- nerve, pathy- pathology of. So neuropathy refers to some kind of pathology(damage)of the nerve.

In short Peripheral neuropathy just means damage to the nerves of either the hands or feet. Subsequent weakness, numbness and pain is experienced by patients with such a diagnosis. The most common cause for this would be Diabetes. In other instances it could be due to exposure to toxins or a severe infection.

Below is a short video to demonstrate the type of treatment administered for that kind of issue. Two things to remember during treatment. We want to target the circulatory and central nervous system. Increase blood flow, stimulate nerves, strengthen muscles etc.
