Physiotherapy in Mexico
Our physiotherapy volunteers work in a Physiotherapy
Clinic in Puerto Vallarta. The clinic was established in 1981 by
a group of volunteers who wanted to provide help to people who are
suffering from disabilities or people recovering from serious fractures
that were unable to pay for their rehabilitation therapy. The clinic
relies heavily on donations and in the last five years has helped
over 4,500 patients.
You will start your first week by completing an induction course
covering the work of the clinic and the basic procedures and workshops
that you will be asked to assist with. The clinic runs a number
of workshops which are tailored to the injury or disability and
you will be helping in a variety of these. Although physiotherapy
makes up the bulk of the workshops, you will also be asked to help
with language therapy, massage and feeding the disabled patients.
Although all our projects in Mexico include a basic Spanish course,
it is useful if you have at least some basic Spanish before joining
the medical project in Mexico. If you have no Spanish or are not
confident that your Spanish is quite up to scratch we would recommend
combining programmes and joining a teaching or orphanage project
first. Alternatively, we are happy to recommend a good 1 week Spanish
course which you can do in Puerto Vallarta.
This project is not just for budding physiotherapy students, this
programme may also be suitable for those about to study:
