QE Health provides
services for people with musculoskeletal disorders.
We focus on
helping people with physical conditions to remain healthy.
We
use a combination of therapies in our rehabilitation programmes.
Philosophy of QE Interdisciplinary Approach
Interventions are based on a health
philosophy fundamentally different from most. Sixty years ago
Dr. Wallis established the style of intervention
that has become QE Health's speciality. As Dr. Wallis used to
say, 'Now you have treated the body, we will heal the whole person,
including the body'. We aim to help people to be healthy as they now
exist. Two central assumptions underpin such an
approach.
- We believe all people have
unique potential and are of value, irrespective of any physical
limitations.
- We believe that people need to
take personal responsibility for their own lives and not assume
that others can make them healthy. Consequently, we expect
people, when provided with the appropriate resources, to be
responsible for their own health and to strive to be valuable,
contributing members of their community.
These values determine the core
characteristics of our interventions, which are:
- ¨All people are unique,
therefore.¨
- Clients are assessed individually and holistically.
Previous rehabilitation, medical interventions, family and other
relationships, work history, personal skills, interests, dreams
and aspirations, perceptions of self and others, health and life
are considered to facilitate an intervention which provides
a.¨
- Cohesive, interdisciplinary approach
utilising.¨
- Time and space apart from everyday demands to facilitate.
¨
- The client to reflect and front up to the reality of their
life and future in a.¨
- Safe environment so that they can innovatively explore options
that they wouldn't try on their own
and.¨
- Encourage them to accept full responsibility for their health
and life then.¨
- Assist them to begin experimenting and applying this to their
real life.¨
- In a manner that provides the person with the knowledge and
experience of the effective change processes that enables them to
develop coping skills, self-determination and problem-solving that
is consistent with their unique identity, place, purpose, roles
and responsibilities in their community.
