All the team at KW Therapy Ltd are trained in Moving and Handling techniques, including advanced ‘Train the Trainer’ skills and experience.
All the therapists are therefore able to assess and review manual handling needs for individual clients. This offers education, training and advice to families, carers and other agencies as necessary.
A detailed assessment is undertaken identifying what the task is and the issues that limit the task i.e. mobility, pain, the equipment available and also the people who assist the task including the client. It is important to recognise the individual’s needs and wishes and involve them as much as possible in the process, to look at the client and the environment, also the people who are assisting with the task – preparation is important in the aim to reduce the impact as much as possible.
