The physiotherapy depart- ment at Seaforth Community Hospital was observing that theme when they celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Cana- dian Physiotherapy Association on Thursday. At the April 27 open house old physiotherapy equipment was displayed beside leading- edge new equipment. The new equipment included a walker which allows the user to sit down for a rest, new hand grippers, new -design crutches, a T.E.N.S. machine and a 'Hydrafitness' machine where the user determines the amount of resistance. "It's fun for us to dig back intowhat we used to use com- pared to what we have now," said physiotherapist Betty Duwyn. Also on display were books which help health care recipi- ents understand the nature of their own problems. There is a new philosophy and new treatments for neck and back care today, compared to two decades ago, said Duwyn. She says while total bed rest might have been rec- ommended for some patients in the past, today the same treat- ment might involve some physical activity. A patient who might at one time have been admitted to hospital for a week might now be sent home with the books and information needed to help their own recovery. "There's a real change in the philosophy of treatment," said Duwyn. "We spend a lot of time on educating the patient, so they won't reinjure them - 1 I\1 ('C\1 11\G P1101 t, OLD AND NEW EQUIPMENT - Kayley Mills, of Clinton, trys out the MyoTrac Biofeedback System recently purchased by the Seaforth Hospital Auxiliary as physiotherapist Betty Duwyn explains the process.

The patients themselves have a big role in their own recov- ery by following the advice of the physiotherapists. "What they do at home is critical," she said. "It makes the difference between physio- therapy being effective and not effective." The open house on Thursday was organized by Carol Hunt and Betty Duwyn. National Physiotherapy Week took place from April 23 to 29.
