Rehabilitation now!! Adrion is excited to start…physiotherapy

Remember him with the preparation we did with the sand play technique before the surgery  http://blood4.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/sandplay-techn…-para-cirurgia ?

Well now he is ready for his sessions of physiotherapy….it hurts but he is willing to excercise, to get stronger…and walk soon. I like you so much Adrion.

And your parents are with you too…it is a new phase.

R like Rehabilitation / R como Recuperação

REHABILITATION : ” process of recovering, restoring….that takes its time.”

Rehab has always 2 sides: the first is that it is an oportunity to fix something. But in order to do that we must recognize that something is not that well and need TIME and DEDICATION to get better.

The sequency is injury-factor replacement-rest-physiotherapy = rehabilitation

Rehabilitation INCLUDEs remembering the situation of getting hurt, to learn what happened.

The other day a young teenager with severe hemophilia A told me that he wanted to understand WHY he bleeded in his wrist if he didn’t do any kind of sport activity, he did nothing???

I told him, that some people had a bleeding after a bad position of a joint (posture during hours of studying, or sleeping) and the fact that he didn’t practice sport acitivity wasn’t in fact something good!! he probably was without muscles strong enough to protect the joint. The most important thing was to take care of the bleeding as quick as possible to avoid joint damage.

Here, Gabriel, 5, severe hemophilia A is doing his rehabilitation with his physiotherapist Dr Luciola from the CHESP (House of the Hemophiliac in São Paulo) after going through a joint aspiration and infiltration of corticoesteroids.

ADRION, IS NOW GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REHABILITATION TOO. HE IS DOING WELL.

R como Recuperação :” re-aver, tornar a ter novamente, melhorar…”

Aqui na foto, Gabriel, 5 anos e com hemofilia A grave, pratica exercícios fisioterápicos sob os cuidados da dra Lucíola do Chesp (casa do hemofílico de São paulo). Ele tinha acabado de fazer uma aspiração do joelho com infiltração de corticoesteroides.

Recuperação significa tanto a recuperação de um estado físico, mental que perdeu-se por um momento como também significa melhoría.

Para adequar esta imagem à hemofilia…posso dizer que uma criança com esta disfunção aprende o tempo todo a se conhecer, sabe detectar rapidamente um sangramento, sabe que é um processo o ATO DE SARAR,

e depois do machucado vem um tempo para se-recuperar e para refletir também. A Fisioterapía é um momento MUITO importante na vida de uma pessoa com hemofilia…permite fortalecer a parte do corpo machucada, otorga um momento de concentração e auto-conhecimento. Permite portanto uma rápida volta ao estado funcional.
