Physical Therapy

Physical therapy, often abbreviated as PT, is a branch of rehabilitative health that aims to restore and improve physical function and mobility. It is provided by trained and licensed professionals known as physical therapists (PTs) who work closely with patients to address a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and other conditions. The primary goal of physical therapy is to help individuals regain movement and manage pain, whether recovering from surgery, injury, or illness. PT sessions typically involve a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilization and massage, and modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Beyond treatment, physical therapists educate patients about preventing injury and maintaining overall health through exercise and proper body mechanics. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing quality of life and facilitating independence for people of all ages and abilities.

Speech Therapy – An Overview of everything !

Speech therapy, also known as speech-language pathology, is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating communication disorders and swallowing difficulties. Speech therapists, or speech-language pathologists (SLPs), work with people of all ages, from infants to seniors, who may have conditions affecting their ability to speak, understand language, or swallow safely. They assess individuals to identify specific speech or language disorders such as stuttering, voice disorders, articulation problems, aphasia (difficulty understanding or producing language), or dysphagia (swallowing disorders). Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and may include exercises to improve articulation, voice modulation, comprehension skills, or strategies for alternative communication methods. Speech therapists also collaborate closely with families, educators, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and support. The goal of speech therapy is to enhance communication abilities, improve quality of life, and empower individuals to participate more fully in social, academic, and professional settings. 


Cancer champions to the local community center… and beyond!

In a blog for World Cancer Day, Pamela Smith discusses a community-based campaign to increase cancer awareness, which is being tested in the TIC-TOC study registered at the ISRCTN registry.

Encouraging people to seek help about potential cancer symptoms has never been more important. Research has found that early cancer help-seeking is poorest in the most deprived communities, partly due to not knowing which symptom(s) could indicate cancer, and fearful beliefs about cancer that put people off going to see their doctor.
The TIC-TOC study (Targeted Intensive Community-based campaign To Optimize Cancer awareness) has been funded by Cancer Research Wales with the aim of helping people living in deprived communities to recognize vague cancer symptoms (e.g. persistent tiredness, losing weight without trying to) and seek advice from their primary care doctor.
