ZELFA BARRETT & The Student-Led Therapy Service (University of Salford)

                      

We are so proud of Zelfa “Flash” Barrett for winning his fight last weekend and returning to what he does best, Boxing.

Zelfa came to the Student-Led Therapy Service at the MIHP for rehabilitation after Achilles surgery.

As Zelfa was the first professional athlete that the service had treated we made sure that all students were carefully supervised by their Physiotherapy Lecturer, Dale Walker.

Working with professional Boxers is an amazing experience for the Students.

Zelfa gets fantastic Physiotherapy treatment, the Students get an amazing experience and the MIHP provides state of the art facilities. 

Physiotherapy is only a small part of the Athletes Rehabilitation journey.

The MIHP continues to perform fitness testing and measurement of key performance indicators as athletes progress.

This is a win, win, win situation.

After the rehabilitation was complete Zelfa kindly invited us to attend his first fight back at Oldham Leisure Centre.

Which he of course won.

There is no better feeling for a Physiotherapist than knowing you have played your part in the amazing TEAM that athletes require for optimal performance.

Gareth describes his experience at the MIHP

                    

https://shop.salford.ac.uk/product-catalogue/university-goods-and-services/healthcare/studentled-physiotherapy-service-mihp

Gareth has just completed his 6-week placement at the MIHP, under the supervision of his University Lecturers, Dale Walker and Ray Healy.

Physiotherapy uses lots of “medical jargon” and it’s easy to get your words mixed up.

Gareth confused the muscles of the Peronei (muscles at the outside of the ankle) with Peroni (an Italian Beer), at least it was not perineum!

Gareth already helps a Chartered Physiotherapists with their clinic at Awesome Walls climbing centre in Stockport and has just gained his qualification in Sports Massage.

Gareth has been learning new “hands on” techniques including Myofascial release with an Instrument Assist (we use Rock Blades in the Clinic), Joint Mobilisations, Electrotherapy (we use Compex in the Clinic) and Exercise prescription.

Gareth would highly recommend this experience to other students before they go out on their MSK Placement.

Owen describes his experience at the MIHP

                    

https://shop.salford.ac.uk/product-catalogue/university-goods-and-services/healthcare/studentled-physiotherapy-service-mihp

Owen has just completed his 6-week placement at the MIHP, under the supervision of his University Lecturers, Dale Walker and Ray Healy.

When theory is learned in the classroom where most of the students are able-bodied the scenario can sometimes lose its realism.

However, with a “real-life” patient who has actual symptoms the scenario is completely different.

This “great experience” with patients is also “Time-Protected” to allow reflection and clinical reasoning to be predominated over time management.

Which is the Student’s biggest challenge when going into a Musculo-Skeletal (MSK) Out-Patients placement.

This week in the Student-Led Physio Service, we were using the Rock Blade.

This is a myofascial release tool.

So what exactly is Myofascia?

Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia supports and protects these structures. 

Theory proposes that this soft tissue can become restricted due to psychogenic disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow.

Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy that claims to treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.

The Rock Blades are Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) tools and just one of the many techniques that the Students learn to help get you better with Physiotherapy.

Physio Tutors Dale Walker and Ray Healy are responsible for helping the students run the clinic under the Clinical Director Dr Lee Herrington.

Henry describes his experience at the MIHP

                

Henry worked at the MIHP for six weeks from Mid-October to end of December.

Henry is an International Student from Hong Kong.

Consolidates the knowledge from learning theory at the University of Salford into practice with real patients.

In addition, his Clinical Reasoning has significantly improved.

More realistic, as he was given the autonomy to do both subjective and objective assessments.

In order to become familiar with what Physio really is and what Physio can do for his patients.

Under the guidance of his Physio Tutors Dale Walker and Ray Healy.

Rachel describes her experience at the MIHP

              

I volunteered for the MIHP Clinic from September to mid-October. 

It was such a useful experience- Dale and Ray supported us with teaching sessions before the service users came to the clinic, so you felt assured before you went in that you would be able to manage the patient.

Dale and Ray were also just outside if you needed any advice or weren’t sure of something. 

We learnt so many transferable skills on manual handling and exercise prescription, and also some treatment techniques that we wouldn’t see in University such as Acupuncture and Myo-fascial release. 

It was really lovely to see yourself having a positive impact on someone else’s life and made me more confident as a health professional.
