Therapeutic Moving and Handling

This training is directed towards care-givers who have to transfer and move clients.  We demonstrate specific easy to learn interventions in order to keep clients and residents safe and well when moving them.  Our therapists look at equipment available to assist care-givers and how to use this equipment safely and efficiently

We will be teaching basic rehabilitation techniques to ensure that moving and handling is provided in the most effective way for your client group. Incorrect moving and handling of  clients can cause pain, hinder physical improvement and even trigger a decline in functional abilities. Poor manual handling techniques are also the cause of back injuries for care-givers. Preventative guidelines are part of this module.

Techniques are simple, straightforward and will be comprehensively demonstrated in order promote best practice.
