Another ‘In-Service’ Training for an NHS Trust provided by M.A.E.S. Therapy.

Physiotherapists,  Occupational Therapists  and Speech & Language Therapists from Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust London Children’s Services,  came together for 2 days to learn about M.A.E.S. Therapy and ‘A better understanding of Children with CP and similar neurodevelopmental conditions and principles to improve their coordination’.

It was a lively and interactive course, with a great mix of theory and treatment videos, leaving therapists inspired and wanting to learn more!  The patients they treat will benefit.

Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust, is one of over 20 NHS Trusts around the UK that have invited M.A.E.S. Therapy to provide highly specialised training for their therapists to provide them with new knowledge and improve their treatment of  children with CP. 

Course dates:  23rd & 24th January 2023

Here are a few comments from therapists who attended:

“This is a fantastic course as an introduction to the complexity and benefits of the MAES approach and I would encourage others to learn more”

“It has changed my understanding of CP and approach, by really targeting specifically each child, as opposed to treating a scan/condition”.

“It has made me think more about the brain lesion as opposed to just the symptoms. It has made me think more about children that are at a plateau and if the task is too challenging.”

“This training is a hugely valuable opportunity, and it will change the way you think. I found it exceptionally valuable to do it as part of the team we work with as it was good to discuss along the way how we worked as a team and how we could implement it into our treatment approach. I felt this helped to maximise more the benefits of the course.”

“The course content and depth of knowledge of Jean-Pierre is amazing”

“It has made me think very differently about my treatment approach to CP. Especially the idea of not necessarily practicing the same task but taking things backwards in order to improve tasks forwards. But also the idea that sometimes it is OK to look ahead in order to improve the more basic skills such as looking to work on asymmetry to work on symmetry. The vast range of ideas discussed has improved my toolbox of ideas to implement into practice.”
