What You'll Be Doing:

Join our team as a Physiotherapist and play a key role in improving the lives of patients who are experiencing a sudden or severe medical condition, injury, or surgery.

The main goal of acute physiotherapy is to help patients recover as quickly and safely as possible, improve their mobility, prevent complications, and promote overall physical function. Here's a breakdown of your role:

Initial Assessment: Acute physiotherapists assess the patient's physical condition as soon as possible. This includes evaluating their mobility, strength, pain levels, posture, breathing, and functional abilities (e.g., the ability to sit, stand, walk, or perform tasks).
Pain Management: One of the key aspects of acute physiotherapy is helping manage pain through physical techniques like modalities (heat, cold, electrical stimulation), positioning, and manual therapy.
Improving Mobility: Acute physiotherapists work with patients to regain movement and mobility through exercises to strengthen muscles, improve balance, and increase range of motion.
Rehabilitation Exercises: The physiotherapist helps design and implement specific exercises tailored to the patient's condition.
Breathing and Respiratory Support: In cases involving respiratory issues, physiotherapists provide interventions aimed at improving lung function and clearing secretions.
Prevention of Complications: Acute physiotherapists aim to prevent complications associated with immobility or prolonged bed rest.
Education and Training: Physiotherapists educate patients and their families about their condition and how to safely perform activities of daily living (ADLs) as they recover.
Discharge Planning: Acute physiotherapists are involved in planning for discharge, ensuring that patients can continue their rehabilitation at home or in a rehabilitation facility.
Collaboration: Physiotherapists collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.
