We're working on setting young people up for the rest of their lives. Would you have different students with different disabilities and some of them they have like quite a high tone and dystonia. If we don't provide them with the right physiotherapy, then there are significant changes that can happen to their body shape that actually massively impacts their future with the other hand. We're incredibly fortunate with the vast range of equipment and resources that we have here. We've got the rebound room, push up, push up. Good job. You're going to count to 10. We've got sensory swings, dedicated therapy spaces, gym equipment, 910 and stop. Can you get up up high? That's it, yes. You do have like standing frames walkers, they can use trikes so they can achieve something, you know, using that equipment that's it means up look at you. Rather than just walking within a physio session, it's much better if we can actually build into a young person's day to make it really practical. We empower either class teams or our physio attacks and assistance to help with things like their walking programs, tracking programs on top of that. So we'll try and get the students as active as possible. Go, go, go and he's off. Apply for the job. I came in and I remember I got toured around by one of the physio techs and I was just like, this place is incredible. Every day is a learning opportunity. Swimming pools and more like calm environment for them to relax and actually we can see how the tone can drop, have some stretches down. You know, it helps them a lot. Like physically. We're enabling our students to have fun, to enjoy doing the therapy that they need to do so that their bodies can reach the optimum point possible for them, that they can be active and being control of the decisions that they're making for their lives. Bring those hands forward. To brilliant lots of like therapy departments, they work together, you know, in supporting in a high level the needs of students. So we've got lots of sort of internal training opportunities. So we have kind of work up weeks and days at the start of terms that can help us deliver training. Today we are going to talk about Opie suction. So you're making sure you're checking have they got any retained secretions? Are they tolerating it? Well, we're very supportive of each other. I think we're I think we're a good team. People always want to teach you new things, people always happy to help you all band together. And I couldn't really ask for a better team, to be honest. It just makes me feel like it's like a second home, really. The beast of surface actually is the street at the center. Seeing how you are affecting their lives in a positive way, enabling them to access activities they may not be able to any other way, right? What do you think makes a good physio and what qualities do we need in a physio? You need to be happy, fun, patient and understanding. You at home? And there are many points into me. I'm very make conversations really fun. Go and find him useful. It's like a home here. I think it's one word for me, it's a family. Coming here is just like being so eye opening to see what people can do. Just made me think about the world in a much better place. I love working at straws because I get to be the physio I've always wanted to be. We don't want physiotherapy to end at straws, we want this to be the starting point to equip them and their families for the rest of their lives.
