This ME Awareness Day we are pleased to have a new article published in the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's magazine "Frontline", which goes out to all chartered physiotherapists in the UK (that's over 67,000!)
The article is called:
"Do no harm: supporting people with ME/CFS.
How can physiotherapists provide effective therapies while ensuring patients with this debilitating condition feel safe and supported? "
In this article we discuss the recent Department for Health and Social Care delivery plan for people with ME, in particular that people need to "feel safe and supported by services and professionals in line with other long-term health conditions.’
We highlight that "feeling safe" is an unusual phrase to use, then give an overview of the issues facing people with ME and traditional physiotherapy management. We discuss ways a physio could adapt their approach when supporting with a person with ME, and signpost the training modules now available from the delivery plan, as well as our own resources.
Publishing an article like this has been one of our goals since we first formed as a group, so we are delighted to have an article published in a publication with such reach, and that the CSP have taken this matter with the seriousness it deserves.
