Introduction
Living with a bleeding disorder can bring unique physical challenges and accessing regular physiotherapy isn’t always easy. That’s why, back by popular demand, we’re delighted to relaunch our “Join the Movement” Virtual Physiotherapy Programme for adults in Scotland aged 18+ living with a bleeding disorder.
You have to be a Haemophilia Scotland member to take part. Not a member already? It’s FREE to join at http://www.haemophilia.scot/join
This specialised, online initiative is designed to empower people with bleeding disorders, improve physical wellbeing, and support confidence and independence all from the comfort of home.
Overcoming Accessibility Hurdles:
For many in our bleeding disorders community, attending regular physiotherapy sessions can be a logistical challenge. Whether it’s the distance to the nearest clinic, scheduling conflicts, or the ups-and-downs of life with a bleeding disorder, in-person visits can be daunting. It’s time for an inclusive solution that prioritises flexibility, accessibility, and personalised care.
Introducing Virtual Physiotherapy:
Our Virtual Physiotherapy Project brings the clinic to your home through secure Zoom video calls. Here’s what you can expect:
- Interactive Group Exercises: Connect with an experienced physiotherapist and up to ten other participants for dynamic group exercises designed to address specific bleeding disorders and associated challenges.
- Personalised Plans: Receive individualised exercise and therapy plans, tailored to your unique needs, under the expert guidance of our physiotherapist.
- Convenience: Say goodbye to long commutes and waiting rooms. Access the group exercises from the convenience of your living room.
- Supportive Community: Connect with peers who share similar experiences. Share knowledge, tips, and encouragement as you embark on this transformative journey together.
