Training

With many years experience working in the community and care homes we understand the difficulties your service may have as well as the pressures of delivering high quality care. Working with other providers we have found we have been able to add quality by training staff in specific areas such as posture management, mobility and transfers, condition specific training (such as stroke), falls prevention and therapeutic handling.

 

Investing in training and development in these areas may help to reduce instances of falls, pressure sores and hospital admissions and therefore improve your residents quality of life.

Adam Poulter is a qualified Manual Handling and Basic Life support trainer and is able to create bespoke training programs for your team that better relate to their roles and patient groups. As a physiotherapist his training provides a unique perspective on the challenges of complex manual handling, posture and risk management. 

 

Foundations Physio also hosts a variety of training courses throughout the year for Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and rehabilitation assistants on a variety of topics.

Upcoming courses:

  • Therapeutic principles for Rehabilitation assistants - Spring 2025.

Testimonials

You are in good hands with Foundations Physio

"We are a very diverse group with various disabilities, the sessions are geared to improve all of us individually. Adam leads the group with great empathy and understanding of our needs, at the same time as being quite a work out for us it is also an enjoyable experience."
Manager of Gracewell Care Home
"Foundations Physio give people their independence and confidence back. As a carer I see the impact the physio sessions have on the residents. It motivates people to keep moving forward, gives them hope and encourages them to think positively."
Gracewell Carer
"I cannot recommend Foundations Physio highly enough! The team have been visiting residents in our home since June 2014 when we first opened our doors. The difference that they have made, not only to the physical well being but also to the psychological and emotional well being of the residents here is truly outstanding."
Sharon ParkinCare Home Manager
"I can’t tell you how pleased I am to have met Adam. He was there for through some really rough times with helpful advice and support. My MS was really getting me down and I now have some useful aids and a new support group that Adam introduced me to. My family would also like to thank the Foundations Physio team for their encouragement and positivity."
Jackie
"The team have an excellent collaborative demeanour, bringing their encouragement, experience and analysis to bear on every aspect of my rehabilitation process. I wasn’t sure at the beginning what Foundations Physio would bring beyond what my NHS physio was providing, but I’m now convinced my progress has been much quicker thanks to their input."
Neil
"Adam has been my father’s physio for over a year and the care and attention he has shown has been excellent. We were fortunate to meet Adam a couple of years ago through the NHS and have subsequently used Foundations Physio on a private one to one basis; the incredibly high level of care has been absolutely super."
Sharon
"Adam was my Physio whilst I was in a rehabilitation unit and then subsequently when I was at first at home. I could not stand up, let alone walk when he first started helping me. He was very caring, supportive, encouraging and pushed me to do things that I did not really believe that I could do. So now after a further 9 months, I feel that I am really leading a fairly normal life again and am not sure that would have happened without his initial support and care."
Judith
"I used Foundations Physio to help with a mobility issue my Mum had, they were recommended to me from a another resident at the care home, after an initial consultation in which was Mum was fully assessed, Mum then underwent weekly appointments in which great progress was made, Kelly and Ben managed to break the cycle and install confidence in Mum, she is now able to stand without help and is back walking again with her frame. Extremely pleased with the level of service from Foundations Physio."
Mary’s family
"We just wanted to say how wonderfully Amado and the wider Foundations team have been running our classes for People with Parkinson’s. Creating a fun, energetic and inclusive atmosphere for all our members, thank you! "
