Last Thursday, on February 4th, I visited one physotherapy clinic in Haderslev. I was very excited to see how it looks like here. I discovered many differences between Denmark and Poland.
First of all I noticed that here there are so many physiotherapists. In Poland there are not too many of them so thay are not able to take care about patients as well as they need.
In the clinic people exercise in small groups. Groups are organized by young people or older patients, people who have problem with knees or back. I think it is good system because people can focus on exercises they really need. In my country everybody works together. No matter if they are old or young, or what kind of health problem they have.
In Denmark rehabilitation process takes 2-4 months and patients come to the clinic 2 times a week. They learn how to exercise and after that they keep doing it at home. In Poland patients come to a clinic every day by 2-6 weekes.
Another thing which surprised me it was fack that if you want to be a physiotherapist you study only 3,5 years and you don't have problem to get a job. In Poland we study 5 years and many young people can't find a job so they are not able to work in their profession.
There are much more differences but I decided to write about some of them. If you want to know more you can ask me:)
At the end I would like to say that I really like Danish way. Even if they have to pay 50% of their tax there is no problem. They still have enough money to live and they have great health insurence which is very important.
