  • How Guide Healthcare developed a new approach to Physiotherapy

    How Guide Healthcare developed a new approach to Physiotherapy
    Jun 25 2024

    In this episode, we are joined by Simon Kerrigan, Managing Director of Guide Healthcare. Simon is a passionate physiotherapist dedicated to reshaping societal views on the capabilities of older adults. He dives the importance of allied health, highlighting key professions such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, dieticians, and podiatrists. He discusses the current trend of aged care providers employing their own allied health teams rather than subcontracting services, emphasising the value added by specialised providers like Guide Healthcare.

    Simon explains the numerous benefits of physiotherapy for older adults, including pain management, post-surgery recovery, and fall prevention. He advocates for a proactive approach to physiotherapy, focusing on preventative care to enhance strength, balance, and confidence. The conversation also tackles ageist stereotypes, promoting the view of older adults as motivated and capable. Simon shares insights on maintaining independence and involving older adults in enjoyable activities.

    Additionally, Simon discusses Guide Healthcare's innovative event-based approach to encourage physical activity among older adults, creating community and competition through exercise-inspired events.
