Land Mine Victims Treatment Program

According to the Landmine Survivors database, while there seems to be a number of rehabilitation centers available in Mozambique, it appears that many are underutilized due in part to a lack of transport for the clients, lack of patient education on the benefits of long term physical therapy interventions, lack of immediate results and the time and energy it requires to come regularly for sessions.

Following RMF's successful protocol initiated in Sri Lanka, this program’s intent is to educate Physical Therapists in progressive, lasting approaches to releasing dysfunctional, compensatory muscle patterns and for relieving Post Traumatic Stress associated with Phantom Limb Pain and acute psycho-physical trauma.
