At Pacific Specialist Healthcare Hospitals (PSH), the impact of physiotherapy is evident through the impressive recoveries of patients. One particularly inspiring case is that of Mr. Tau tu Paul, a neurorehabilitation patient whose progress highlights the dedication of the healthcare professionals at PSH, including the skilled neurosurgeon, Dr. Alan Biribo.
Three months ago, Mr. Tautu underwent a complex neurosurgical procedure, which marked the beginning of an intensive rehabilitation journey. PSH founder and director Parvish Kumar reflected on Mr. Tautu’s situation, noting that he had endured eight months of limited mobility prior to his surgery, making even simple tasks like sitting up challenging.
Initially, Mr. Tautu faced his rehabilitation journey with a mix of anxiety and hope. His physiotherapist, Sonia Kajol, expressed the privilege of guiding him and his supportive wife during these crucial early stages. The initial objective was for Mr. Tautu to sit at the edge of the bed without assistance, a goal met through careful mobilization techniques and encouragement. This achievement reignited his hope and determination.
Following this pivotal moment, Mr. Tautu approached his rehabilitation with dedication. Together with his physiotherapist, he set achievable goals, and his recovery was characterized by hard work. Their sessions focused on core strength, balance, and mobility. As his confidence grew, the intensity of his sessions increased, reflecting his progress.
In the weeks that followed, Mr. Tautu made significant strides. He transitioned from using a walking frame to a quadruped, then a walking stick, and eventually began walking without assistance. Each advancement was a testament to his perseverance and the individualized care provided by the rehabilitation team. His first steps unaided were a collective accomplishment that underscored the transformative power of physiotherapy.
Ms. Kajol emphasized the significance of witnessing patients regain their independence, highlighting PSH’s commitment to excellence in rehabilitation care. The hospital prides itself on its neurorehabilitation programs, which provide specialized, comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs. Under Dr. Biribo’s leadership, the team designs individualized treatment plans that prioritize patient recovery.
Mr. Kumar reiterated PSH’s dedication to empowering patients by providing advanced medical care, comprehensive rehabilitation services, and ongoing support. He noted that the hospital’s mission transcends mere treatment; it aims to restore independence and improve the quality of life for every patient.
PSH is actively expanding its physiotherapy services and researching advanced technologies for implementation at its branches in Suva and Nadi. Additionally, the hospital is running its Pinktober campaign, emphasizing female health education and self-breast examination techniques within the community.
