You are so happy ! You show the family how the patient in coma moves his head, but you seem not aware about the fact that the patient is not able to move.
You have put him in a stay table and you had to use bands to make sure he would not fall again after you put the table in the vertical position.
The patient is in a state of coma for almost a year now and his physical condition has stabilised in a state of immobility. The family that is afraid that he has a fever because his head is warm, puts a ventilator near his head and is not aware that his feet are cold, and when he sits in a chair, no one helps him to keep his head up.
No one seems to be interested in the way he is sitting in the chair, when he is put into the chair. No one looks at his feet and legs that fall aside and than touch the metal and stay that way all the time he is sitting in the chair.
No one goes to him, takes his head or arm or leg and helps him to move these. One believes he can not move as the diagnose is "patient in coma" and the treatment seems to want to keep it this way.
Not all the therapists are stimulating the coma state, but the movements that are made with the patient, like cycling, are made so fast that the patient can not follow them. It looks like he can follow them after a while but the start has been too fast.
The therapist seems not able to feel what is the speed that the patient can follow. At the beginning, the patient needs not only help to start slowly, but also help to keep up the movement in a speed that the patient can follow.
The speed of the patient in coma is much slower than it used to be and the therapist that comes every day to move the joints used much power to make the body make the movements that the therapist wants it to make.
The patient does not get time to find the movement in his movement remembrance and he tries to make those movements that are not healing for him, impossible, but the man therapist is stronger than the patient. He seems not to feel what is needed.
Or is he just doing what "the team" thinks is needed, without using his own inner wisdom that tells him something else? It would not be the first time that a therapist just does what "the team" or "the doctor" wants him to do as else he will be fired.
It would be worth to change the idea that the patient in coma is a neurological patient. If the coma state would be a neurological problem, it would react positive on the neurological treatment, but it does not. It does react positive on a treatment that stimulates the own activity of the patient that can be felt if the movements that are made with the patient are made with the hands.
Human hands that are of a person that is able to feel how much the patient moves, will be healing if they help the patient to connect these movements with other movements that the patient wants to make.
The coma therapist is not feeling when he is working, but thinking of the past weekend that was so nice as he visited friends in Duluth that went with their boat on the Lake Superior or he is thinking of the next weekend that he will use to give a party or follow a course to learn how to treat a patient in coma healing. For example hpi-therapy for coma therapist.
