A specialist team of physiotherapists will be hopping on their bikes for 24 hours – all in aid of charity.
Physiotherapists from Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) are highlighting the importance of ‘ Physical Therapy Day ‘ by hosting a 24 hour spin relay starting on Friday 6 September through to Saturday 7 September.
They are raising money for Your Trust Charity, the registered charity for SWB. Funds will go towards enhancing the experiences of patients at the Trust who suffer from Musculoskeletal injuries.
World Physical Therapy Day celebrated on Sunday 8 September recognises and celebrates the work that physiotherapists do for their patients and the community.
Led by Paul Rees, Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner, said: “The team and I are excited to be hosting our first spin-relay here at Sandwell Hospital.
This is a great opportunity to raise money for our patients whilst getting fit at the same time.
“We encourage anyone of any fitness level or role to join the team or to come along and support us whilst we peddle our way across the finish line.”
Physiotherapists work with patients across the Trust to help to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. They provide education and advice for everyday activities, such as improving posture, mobility, and stiffness.
