“Physiotherapists must be compassionate, caring, patient, and capable of commanding the respect and trust of people within their care” said Ms.P.Chitra, Project Director of SEVAI in a special educators and Physiotherapists get-together in Arumbuhalnagar on Saturday, 30th July. She further said,”SEVAI-IED-SSA team works to enable, educate, and empower the physically challenged, who are otherwise severely stigmatized, and whose potential is overlooked in many developing nations due to their handicap. These ground-breaking special education programs have attracted public attention, and promote advocacy, self-esteem, and higher education and vocational training for physically challenged. Physiotherapy care given in SEVAI for persons with disabling physical conditions and help them develops and maintain their daily living and work skills. SEVAI Physiotherapists help physically challenged compensate for Speaking to Physiotherapists of SEVAI,Mrs.P.Chitra, Project Director, SEVAI further said, “Physiotherapists require unequivocal the loss of functions, as well as improve motor skills and reasoning and perceptual abilities. The Physiotherapy profession calls for the best of those individuals who practice it; Physiotherapists must be compassionate, caring, patient, and capable of commanding the respect and trust of people within their care. The well-trained professional is familiar with a wide range of activities that will be employed as a matter of course in the patient’s recovery. Persons suffering from coordination problems, for example, may be given manual art projects, such as creative handicrafts, to improve hand-eye coordination. Practical activities such as gardening and weaving increase strength and dexterity. Physiotherapists face significant challenges when dealing with persons with permanent physical handicaps, such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injuries. They develop and teach patients how to operate adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, splints, and other devices that allow individuals with limitations to exercise a measure of control over their environment. Physiotherapists who work with the physically disabled must have strength, agility, and stamina to help patients in and out of beds and wheelchairs and allow patients to lean on them while they assist them with various exercises, such as walking and lifting weights. Not all therapists need to be physically strong and powerful, but all, including industrial therapists who assist their clients in finding and holding jobs, are challenged to inspire trust, motivate progress, and demonstrate concern and compassion”.-Govin
