Welcome to another empowering episode of The Confident Physio podcast with your co-hosts Tristan White and Jess Soding. This time, we're doubling the inspiration by featuring not one but two guests from The Physio Co - Dan Tran and Mel Martsi - who share their experiences working with an elderly client named Mary.
In this episode:
- Listen to TPC community physios, Dan and Mel, as they dive into their journey with Mary.
- Discover how Dan and Mel set meaningful goals for Mary that aligned with her passion for music and social activities within her retirement village.
- Learn about the significance of teamwork in achieving these goals, including Mel's perspective on joining in after the goal was set.
- Celebrate Mary's achievement in reaching her short-term goal of practising piano every morning in the main lounge – a testament to staying mobile, safe, and happy.
- Find out what new challenges lie ahead as we discuss Mary's current goal focused on walking confidently with a walking stick.
Special moments:
- The celebration when Mary achieved her goal.
- Insights into personalising care plans based on clients' individual needs and interests.
- Understanding how variety can motivate clients like Mary through different physiotherapy approaches from both Dan and Mel.
