Manual Handling Plans   ​

Manual Handling Plans   ​

At YouGo Physiotherapy, we understand the importance of safe and effective manual handling, especially for individuals who require ongoing physical assistance. Our expert team works closely with you and your formal and informal support networks to design personalised manual handling plans that address your unique physical needs.

These comprehensive plans are developed to ensure that your caregivers, family members, and support workers are equipped with the right techniques and knowledge for safely assisting you with tasks such as bed mobility, transfers, repositioning, and everyday movements. By prioritising safe practices, we not only help to protect your health and well-being but also reduce the risk of injury to your support team.

Our manual handling plans focus on:

Transfers

Ensuring safe techniques for transferring from bed to chair, wheelchair, or other mobility devices.

Mobility Support

Guidance on supporting you in moving safely and comfortably around your home or in the community.

Positioning

Providing strategies to improve your comfort and maintain healthy posture, whether in bed, seated, or during activities.

Through our manual handling plans, we aim to enhance your comfort, promote independence, and empower your support network to confidently provide care that is both safe and efficient. These plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain aligned with your evolving needs and capabilities.
