Newsletter 3 Paray Physio Study Group Lumelang bo Mme
le bo Ntate Time is flying and we are approaching soon our next get-together. I am glad to inform you that this years physiotherapy workshop will be held from the 13th - 18th of December at Paray in Thaba Tseka. We will be kindly hosted and generously supported by Paraymission Hospital and Paraymission Nursingschool. In the refreshing climate and in the beauty of the Thaba Tseka mountain area we will share and learn more about the fascinating physiotherapy experience. Beside me, Mrs. Therese Schär, a qualified and clinically well experienced senior physiotherapist, will contribute to the teaching. The main topics of this years workshop are: • Assessment
and treatment of common clinical conditions We will be able to offer you a learning setting for beginners and advanced physiotherapists. This allows us to be in the same workshop, as learning together is growing together. You will soon receive all the details and the application form. In last years workshop we practised among many other technics the shepherds footbath. This nice and comfortable treatment we call in physiotherapy terms "perception footbath". It’s helpful for relaxation, stimulation of perception and peripheral blood circulation. Its use is only limited by open wounds, infections or other defects of the skin. At my place I adapted the program culturally and I named it the grandmothers footbath. The grandmother of my mother was a traditional healer, she was well experienced with herbs, curing with water, symbolic treatments and prayer. She taught this treatment to my mother and I had the chance to learn it. Here’s the European version of the shepherds footbath: "The grandmothers footbath" This is a wonderful
treatment which can be enjoyed together: 1. Take one foot
out of the basin and soap it delightfully. Afterwards return it into
the warm water. The treatment can go along with music and singing which should preceived positively by the receiving person. It’s thought to be music only in the back ground so that the silence or any conversation between you and the receiving person is always well audible. Grandma`s footbath can last up to 45 minutes. Therefore the water should be well-tempered in the beginning. I wish you much pleasure in learning and supplying this enjoyable treatment. It’s easy to perform, in almost every place to realise and it needs only common objects. It can be successfully taught to family members, used for the homebased physiotherapy and for selfcare. I am looking forward to our get-together in Lesotho in the period of 2nd December 2009 - 14th January 2010. Until then you can
