The Final Day in Advanced Bobath Course in Barcelona
The Final Day in Barcelona. It was raining like in a light
shower. So, first time I took a cab to get to the clinic.
I got some information about the others in the course. There
were 3 basic instructors and one candidate. There is maybe 10 or 12 basic
instructors in Spain and one senior instructor. So quite many if we look the
amount to Finland? I also got some information about the salaries in Spain.
It’s not easy to be a physical therapist in Spain if you think economically.
The average salary per month is 1200-1500 €. So just enough to pay pay your
living and to get something to eat. There’s quite tight tax policy too. You pay
taxes for every euro you earn. So, tax with zero taxes not included.
Anyway, back for today’s topic. Spesific handling and
clinical reasoning in upper limb. When you already have the postural control in
your core and scapula, you can go to the upper limb. Sometimes of course vice
versa… Depends what structure is the key point in the puzzle. We practiced
handling all the way from scapula to elbow and to wrist and fingers. And what
should be remembered with the hand? You should first get the wrist into action and
to learn how to reach and after that how the fingers work J.
I really had almost the best days of my life here
(”worklife”). It is fascinating to learn new and more about
neurorehabilitation. The Bobath Concept and the professionals like Lynne
Fletcher really can do magical things with people who has neurological
problems. It is not always just the acute phase. Sometimes you need to get some
neuropsychological issues work better first and after that you have
possibilities to understand and learn more about your body’s movements and how
to activate muscles. The demo patient (young under 30 years old guy) for
example had stroke 1,5 years ago, but now in three days he has learnt maybe
more than he could have learnt in acute phase. He had lots of
neuropsychological treatments in the early days.
This is what should be remembered, even after 1 year there
can be big changes in body and rehabilitation.
I am gonna take at least one Advanced Course more to get
even better with my handling, because it is in a very different level in
Britain if it’s the same as Lynne’s treatment sessions. And not just handling
but also the clinical reasoning. I’ve learnt from the Best!
Thank you Lynne and Neurosalud Barcelona!
Ps the update took
some extra time to get done because awful stomach flu…
