Physiotherapist research nets convincing results:
Bodychecking in pee wee hockey leads to preventable head injuries
With content from the Globe and Mail story by Dawn Walton and Anne McIlroy
Physiotherapist Carolyn Emery, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Calgary, is the lead author of a study that has the attention of Hockey Canada.
This national body, presiding over 580,000 young Canadian hockey players, is now considering beefing up its bodychecking rules in response to Emery’s study which shows that 11- and 12-year-old athletes in leagues that allow hits are nearly four times more likely to suffer a concussion than players where the practice is banned.
Paul Carson, Hockey Canada’s director of development, said there are inherent risks due to the nature of the game, but bodychecking remains a contentious issue. The organization plans to review the study and see what, if any, changes to policy need to be made.
“It’s good research,” Mr. Carson said. “What we then have to do as an organization is determine are we taking the steps that we’re supposed to take to ensure that kids have a positive and safe experience in the sport.”
The study, published in the most recent edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, followed more than 2,000 peewee players – half from Alberta leagues, where bodychecking is permitted, and the rest were from Quebec, where it isn’t. The results show a significant difference in the number of head injuries, with 73 concussions among Alberta players over the 2007-2008 season, compared to 20 in Quebec. There were 14 severe concussions in Alberta, versus four in Quebec.
Dr. Carolyn Emery, called the statistics pretty convincing evidence that injuries could be reduced if leagues changed their policies to align with Quebec’s. She estimates that limits to bodychecking in Alberta alone would cut out more than 1,000 injuries and 400 concussions a year.
“Hopefully, there will be some consideration around potential changes in the age at which bodychecking is introduced, possibly the level of play at which it's introduced,” she says.

Physiotherapists won’t be disappointed by Just Wright
In Just Wright, Queen Latifah stars as a physiotherapist with hip-hop star Common as an injured basketball player. Disregarding the ethical issues that arise in the movie as Hollywood creative license, this romantic comedy works as a great marketing device for the physiotherapy profession.
After Common’s character, Scott McKnight, sustains a potentially career-ending posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury during a game, Leslie, played by Latifah, is hired to get him back in time for the playoffs. The initial treatment was typical rehabilitation including ice, stretching, elevation, and mobility techniques. When Scott becomes discouraged and unmotivated, Leslie gets him again dedicated to his rehabilitation with the assertiveness and sense of humour (a very funny, effective use of ice cubes!) common to any good physiotherapist. During the later stages of rehabilitation, Leslie takes charge of his conditioning with sport-specific, functional exercises. It was great to see Scott performing speed, agility, and quickness drills with his physiotherapist.
There are also a lot of excellent subtle references to the profession. At the beginning, Leslie was seen correcting a patient doing exercise. There was also a reference to how many textbooks a physiotherapist owns to keep up-to-date and build their knowledge. The image of her character was also true to form, dressed in functional clothing, sneakers, and little jewelry.
The absolute best part of the movie that sums up what it is like to be a physiotherapist comes towards the end. Scott tells Leslie that she is probably used to always taking care of everyone else and not herself for her whole life. This is so true for physiotherapists. What do you think she says later in the movie? Leslie tells Scott to believe in himself and that he can reach his goals. Also true to form.
Just Wright leaves audiences with an excellent perception of what kind of people physiotherapists are and won’t grate on physiotherapists as movie-goers for misreading the profession or applying improper or inappropriate technique. Check your local movie listings today.

Globe and Mail article reports on rehabilitation crisis in Haiti and positive steps CPA is taking to respond
The Globe and Mail painted an alarming picture of the rehabilitation crisis in Haiti in an article published April 29. The online article, “ Haiti’s dearth of rehabs [sic] and therapists sets off alarm bells” features interviews with Mike Landry, PT, PhD and Shaun Cleaver, PT, MSc, both of whom are members of CPA’s International Health Division.
The article explains how Haiti has only about a dozen of its own physiotherapists, yet an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 people lost limbs after the earthquake and are in need of rehabilitation. The difficult obstacles that physiotherapists are facing in Haiti are described, including low appreciation of rehabilitation practices among other health professionals and a general lack of infrastructure to deal with the daunting rehabilitation crisis.
The article delivers a real wake-up call. If you can find the time, please take a moment today to read this Globe and Mail piece and allow your personal view of the crisis in Haiti to guide your donation of financial aid or professional time.

Physiotherapy-guided exercise program helpful for new mothers
We’ve known for years that a physiotherapy exercise program improves mood and well-being in the general population. Now there is strong research to show that new mothers can gain specific benefits, too.
A recent study in Physical Therapy shows that new mothers can increase their well-being and reduce the risk of postnatal depression through a physiotherapy exercise and health education program.
Postnatal depression is a major health issue affecting up to 13% of new mothers. The fact that a physiotherapy-guided exercise program is able to reduce the number of “at risk” women by 50% is an important and positive message to pass along to our clients.

Physiotherapists help Canadians “with these hands”
The Canadian Physiotherapy Association is making physiotherapy more visible and accessible to Canadians starting today with the launch of a national advertising campaign. The ads break during the Olympic Games from Vancouver on the CTV news network.
With the theme “these hands,” the commercial message shows the diversity of the physiotherapy profession and gives good guidance to Canadians on how to find a physiotherapist.
The campaign is supported by a website, www.thesehands.ca, describing in more detail what physiotherapists do, the conditions that physiotherapists treat, and how to make a connection with a local physiotherapist when you need one.
Government continues to monitor H1N1 vaccine safety
As of mid January, over 25 million doses of the H1N1 vaccine have been distributed across the country. Since the start of the vaccine campaign, a total of 5,944 adverse events have been reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), which is responsible for monitoring the safety of the three types of vaccine. Of these events, 230 met the criteria to be considered serious, and of these, 126 were cases of anaphylaxis. To date, the overall frequency of anaphylaxis following H1N1 immunization does not exceed the normal range observed after receiving any immunization vaccine.
PHAC adds that serious adverse events following immunization are rare, and that the reported rate of serious adverse events in any immunization campaign is on average about 1 case for every 100,000 doses distributed. The H1N1 flu vaccine has been authorized for use based on preliminary clinical trial data, and PHAC continues to monitor and test it as it is administered across Canada. For more details on H1N1 vaccine safety, read the Vaccine Surveillance Report.
Canadian physiotherapists a growing, multi-faceted, more educated profession
More physiotherapists are available to help Canadians of all ages, according to a new report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The report, Physiotherapists in Canada, 2008, provides a snapshot of these university-educated professionals and where they deliver their personal hands-on care across the country:
- The supply of physiotherapists in Canada grew by 3.1% between 2007 and 2008, which is outpacing the population growth rate of 1.2%
- The majority of physiotherapists are female (78.4%)
- The average age of physiotherapists in Canada is 41.4, far younger than doctors (49.6) and nurses (45.1)
- In the most recent five-year period, the proportion of physiotherapists graduating with a university master’s degree increased by 31%
- Physiotherapists are equally employed in hospitals (39.2%) and group or solo practices (39.7%), with community settings also accounting for a large part of the physiotherapist workforce (13.5%).
Physiotherapy research grants available
Physiotherapist-owned insurance program in development
When it comes to clinical practice, professionals need protection and CPA is bringing new thinking to malpractice insurance for physiotherapists. CPA has taken a first step toward establishing a national physiotherapist insurance program for members that will be wholly funded, owned and directed by physiotherapists. That means members will benefit directly from surplus years in the future and even decide what to do with surplus funding, whether that’s lowering the cost of the plan or funding other must-have member services.
Advantages in practice for physiotherapists
Professionals across the country who belong to CPA gain a competitive advantage over their peers in many ways. For example, CPA’s Cost of Business survey yields valuable information and has a direct effect on compensation for physiotherapist services. National and provincial summaries are available.

Earthquake relief: Physiotherapists needed
The world has watched with horror as the damage to Haitians, visitors and their country in the wake of the recent earthquake becomes more visible every day. Thousands of people have suffered fractures, amputations, spinal cord injuries, trauma or burns. Handicap International has put out a call to physiotherapists worldwide to volunteer their skills.
In a posting on the WCPT website, Marc-Andre Peltzer, Emergency Co-ordinator, requests that any physiotherapist who is “interested and available for a quick start for a period of 2 to 3 weeks” contact Handicap International. If you are able to volunteer, send your CV and offer of assistance to emergency@handicap.be.
 CPA responds to bad pressImagine our surprise to find physiotherapy referred to as “voodoo” in the Globe and Mail this morning. It turns out that the source of the article was the New York Times but that did not deter Canadian Physiotherapy Association President Alice Aiken, PT, PhD, from making an immediate response.
We set out to inform readers that there is evidence for use of the various treatment modalities named in the article as part of an overall physiotherapy care plan. We supported physiotherapy as an evidence-informed practice. We encouraged all Canadians to engage in dialogue with their physiotherapist about the treatment choices, the purpose of various modalities, and the overall goals and prognosis of their physiotherapy treatment. And we directed all Canadians to ask about credentials and seek physiotherapy services from registered physiotherapists in order to ensure that their mobility and health is in good hands.
Making physiotherapy more accessible to the public

Physiotherapy profession testimony at House of Commons Standing Committee on Health
On November 25, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association testified before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health. Among the key content delivered was a solid case for immediate changes to the Public Service Healthcare Plan that would facilitate direct access to physiotherapist in order to realize significant efficiency and cost savings [excerpts follow].
 Patient self-referral to physiotherapy services is proven to be less costly, improve outcomes, and decrease employee absence from work.Many employer benefit programs, including the Public Service Health Care Plan run by SunLife, require a physician prescription in order to access physiotherapy services.
This policy is wasteful. Every year, millions of healthcare dollars are wasted on physician referrals that do nothing more than provide misguided comfort to private insurers.
This policy is harmful. Bureaucratic delays in accessing physiotherapy for acute musculoskeletal injuries can result in chronic impairment, costing employers millions in additional staff absence.
Ontario physiotherapists move closer to changes in legislated scope of practice
On November 30, Ontario Bill 179 passed its Third Reading with unanimous support. Known as the “Regulated Health Professions Statute Law Amendment Act, 2009,” Bill 179 includes significant changes to the legislated scope of practice for Ontario physiotherapists, including the administering of oxygen and certain drugs by inhalation as prescribed by those with authority, and ordering of MRIs, US and X-rays for specific purposes. Royal Assent for Bill 179 is expected prior to Christmas recess. All changes will only come into effect when the section of Bill 179 pertaining to physiotherapy is proclaimed, which the Ontario Physiotherapy Association (OPA) expects to occur in fall 2010. For further information, contact OPA or visit website.
Wait times for foreign trained physiotherapists to be shorter
The federal government has announced that foreign trained workers in 15 fields, including physiotherapy, will know within a year whether their credentials will allow them to work in their chosen profession in Canada. full story
Here’s what the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (The Alliance) has to say about this development:
The Alliance and our regulator members are pleased to be among the first group of professions identified to fall under the Pan-Canadian Framework for the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Qualifications. The purpose of the framework is to improve the integration of immigrants into the Canadian labour market, which The Alliance endorses. For over 15 years, we have had a national standard in place for the recognition of foreign qualifications. We work diligently to ensure that our processes are fair, transparent, timely and consistent through an ongoing quality improvement program to assist physiotherapy regulators in meeting their public interest mandate. We look forward to working with governments as we demonstrate how well we meet the requirements of the framework.

Canadian physiotherapists urge skiers and snowboarders to wear helmets
With the arrival of winter and the opening of ski hills across the country in the next two weeks, the CPA is strongly encouraging all Canadians to wear helmets when skiing or snowboarding. While helmets do not prevent all head injuries, they can minimize the effects of a blow to the head. They should be certified by a safety standard organization and fit comfortably but snuggly. Skiers and snowboarders can also minimize the risk of falling and injuries by being in good physical condition, warming up, and taking breaks.

Ontario Physiotherapy Association comments on McGuinty government's auto insurance proposal
The Ontario Physiotherapy Association (OPA) has been engaged in consultations with the Ontario government on its auto insurance strategy over the past year and sees reasons for optimism but also some concerns. "Many of the proposed reforms announced [on November 2] represent an improvement on the recommendations made last April..." explained Mark Beadle, OPA President. "But we obviously still have a lot of work to do." Consumers understandably want to limit their premiums and most don't believe they will ever be involved in an accident that requires significant rehabilitation. "The $50,000 in medical and rehabilitation benefits in the 'basic coverage' proposal is an improvement from the $25,000 initially proposed,” adds Beadle. “Nevertheless, it will be inadequate for many who find themselves with serious injuries needing treatment." The OPA will be at the table with government and other stakeholders during the promised consultations to help achieve a balanced, sustainable auto insurance system for Ontarians.
