Newsletter 7, CP, Rosemary

PARAY MISSION HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL OF NURSING, Physiotherapy Department

 

Lumelang bo Mme le bo Ntate

It was such a pleasure to be with some of you at last years physiotherapy workshop at Paray hospital. It was a great time. We already are preparing this years workshop which will be held in December. If you have friends or colleagues who are interested in our topics or would like to recieve the newsletter, I will gladly put their name on the mailing list.

In this newsletter I would like to focus on three topics:

– What are suggesting signs that a newborn child is affected of CP?

– What are major deficits of CP?

– How can we support our patients and their physiotherapy treatment with the herb Rosemary?

I would like to remind you that in order to complete last years workshop you have to send back the questionnaire. In case you did not recieve it please let me know.

Enjoy the reading! I wish you all a happy time.

God bless you

Ntate Thuso W. Fasser
