These consultations were the most interesting to sit in on because it allowed me to observe the therapist’s ability to take the patient’s information and create a diagnosis and treatment plan for the injury or pain described. Megan may have multiple patients at a time so she stressed the importance of keeping up with each patient and why the physical therapy techs are so helpful.

One thing in particular is the relationship between the Medical Doctor and the Physical Therapist.

I shadowed Matt Woodruff, who is a certified hand therapist and a occupational therapy at St. Luke’s. I had the opportunity to see the determination, character, and patience that it takes to be an occupational therapist. I arrived 15 minutes early, so I decided to take a seat and wait for Mr. Woodruff. As I waited, I turned to the sound of elevator doors opening, and saw a paraplegic woman step out.

Pediatric physical therapy was one of the practice settings that I wanted to become further educated in. This being said, I was not very familiar with this setting prior to researching this topic. After reading, something that I found appealing about the pediatric setting is that it is a collaborate effort between physical therapist, child, and family. I also found it intriguing that pediatric physical therapists assist children throughout age-related movement stages as they develop.
