What You'll Learn
The course is designed to help healthcare and health-related workers, such as nurses, allied health professionals, senior activity centre staff, and health coaches, improve their skills in caring for joint pain using physiotherapy and tuina approaches.
As joint pain is a very common problem in the elderly population, the course focuses on teaching participants how to guide and support patients, particularly senior citizens, in managing osteoarthritic joint pains through a combination of medication compliance, lifestyle changes, and exercise and diet management. These holistic strategies are not typically covered in basic training and will enhance the participants' skills and competencies in chronic disease intervention.
This program aligns with recent healthcare initiatives aimed at addressing the needs of our aging population, such as Healthier SG and the National Plans for Successful Ageing. These initiatives emphasize community-based and lifestyle-oriented healthcare delivery and aim to double the number of senior activity centres in the coming years, providing elderly individuals with the support they need for their social and health needs.
