Physiotherapy Clinics
The physiotherapy clinics continue to fill a big gap in the hospital
services. It is well recognized that the waiting time before the commencement
of treatment in hospital physiotherapy clinics can be many weeks, and
for this reason alone many consultants refer back for treatment in our
clinics a number of children seen in hospital 'out patients'.
A full range of equipment is maintained and local and general ultraviolet
light is also available to selected cases.
I consider an enormous amount of good comes out of the efforts of the
two highly skilled physiotherapists who serve this department.
Asthmatics and sufferers from a variety of chest diseases derive considerable
benefit from breathing exercises, postural and remedial drills,
and many faults of posture are prevented from developing into fixed deformities
by early recognition and treatment.
