Yesterday, we hosted two very useful training sessions at the Centre about Manual Handling for Carers. The sessions explored moving and handling techniques and efficient postures to look after yourself and prevent injuries associated with caring duties. Our trainer also demonstrated the use of various pieces of equipment.
The attendees found the sessions very beneficial and gained some good ideas to put into practice at home.
A big thank you to Occupational Therapist Michelle Morley (www.gravitastrainingcentre.care) for running these interesting sessions for us (pictured below with our Physiotherapy Manager, Anwen.)
