Physical Therapy And Aquatic Therapy

In order to do this to the best of my ability I will have to stay up to date on the latest improvements within the physical therapy field. There are always advances being made: new technology, new manual techniques, new treatments, etc. There was one clinic in particular that I observed at that really understood the importance of this. The therapists’ were always collaborating on new research they had learned about. If one therapist was having trouble reaching their patient’s goals, they would talk to another therapist who would suggest some other technique the original therapist wasn’t aware of. This allowed the patient to get the quality care they wouldn’t get if it were just one therapist doing it the same way they have always done. Getting to see, first-hand, how these different treatments and techniques helped the patients, it made it clear to me that, as a physical therapist, I must always be learning from and adapting to the changes within the physical therapy

My first experience observing a physical therapist, commenced in the summer of 2014. At the time, I was given the opportunity to observe a physical therapist named Jennifer Moreland. Throughout my time observing her, I began to recognize she was not just a physical therapist with her patients. Many times, she took on the role of a consoler, cheerleader, friend and supporter for her patients. Reflecting back on this, I am able to see that the primary reason she has succeeded as a physical therapist; is due to her amiable, encouraging and empathetic nature. These character traits have allowed her to do more than heal patients' musculoskeletal problems. She has also been able to heal hearts, souls and minds by cheering, supporting, listening

I believe that my personal and professional growth and behavior as a physical therapist is of utmost importance. I base this firstly on my strong connection to those in society who are disadvantaged when it comes to physical therapy, and also on the movement system, movement being “the key to optimal living and quality of life for all people that extends beyond health to every person’s ability to participate in and contribute to society” (American Physical Therapy Association, 2013). This perspective, I believe, is aligned perfectly with the vision statement for the physical therapy profession – to transform society through optimization of movement to improve the human experience (APTA, 2013). After reviewing the vision statement, I strongly believe it will act as my guide by strengthening compassion, reinforcing advocacy, improving quality of service, and strengthening cohesion.

Ramon Alexander and his family hosted an amazing event called the Women’s Health and Fitness Expo on Saturday July 9th, 2016. I attended this event Saturday morning from 11:00am to 2:30pm. Florida A&M University occupational therapy second year students had a presentation table available at this event along with many other organizations promoting health and fitness. A few of my classmates were there to advocate for our profession, which is occupational therapy. We were able to provide pamphlets with fun facts about several disorders or conditions such as arthritis, amputations, stroke, and many more. The main objective was to educate individuals and promote awarness on the handouts, equipment, and assistive devices that occupational therapist

As I pulled into the rehabilitation center’s parking lot Monday afternoon I couldn't wait to get inside and feel the breeze of the air conditioning as I escaped from the 95 degree blazing hot weather outside. I was very anxious because I wasn’t sure how this interview would go, let alone if it would happen. I wasn't certain the physical therapist I was going to interview would have time to fit me in. I was up the night before trying to figure out what I wanted to learn from this interview and what kind of questions I would ask. I decided to focus my questions towards the physical therapist I have been shadowing to get to know more about him and his experiences with the job. So far through out my research I have been focusing on the physical therapists and their relationships with patients. I wanted my readers learn more about the person who is caring for these patients and what goes on that patients do not see.

-The profession can be compared with a living entity, changing from an undeveloped, young occupation in its formative years (1914-1920) to a firm, growing establishment in its developing years (1920 to 1940). As a mature profession, during its fundamental accomplishment years (1940 to 970), physical therapy was able to

To understand how I will embody the American Physical Therapy Association's vision as a future physical therapist, it's important to begin from my past, where it all came from. My adoration of the human body began during the first few years of high school. It was around this time that I had been working and working; finally I had saved up enough money to buy my first car back in the summer of 2009. Everyone loved his or her first car, and I was no exception. Like a typical first car, it had malfunctions here and there which I would research and repair on my own, learning along the way. Well, it was around that time that I was taking my first anatomy class, and I thought to myself, "Wow, how similar an automobile and the human body are. Two robust, powerful machines that can be repaired with some research and experience, together with a bit of learning along the way." Little did I know how much more intricate, detailed, and marvellous the human anatomy was; I wanted to fix everyone.

I visited the Optim Orthopedics in Savannah, Georgia. This facility specializes occupational, physical and hand therapy. I want to pursue a career in Sport Medicine but because of the physician not being in, I interview a Physical Therapist. Stacy McKenzie works as a PRN at the Savannah and Pooler facilities. Stacy knew at the age of 12 that therapy was her passion. She attended Armstrong State University for six years where she obtain her undergraduate and graduate degree. Since she only has her master degree, the only license she needed was the PT license. She stated her workday is typical busy. They see patients every 45 minutes each day. The patients range from four year olds to elderly patients. What she enjoy about working is meeting

Working as a physical therapist in the Philippines, I was used to having a rehabilitation doctor order a series of tests for different cases before they are seen for physical therapy. For example, for a patient for low back pain to rule out differential diagnosis, a doctor would order an X-ray, MRI etc first which could take days to weeks before physical therapy commenced.

With my mission statement in mind, physical therapy is my future. The vision of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) – “Transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.” – is a translation of my own mission statement. Daily, physical therapists empower people to improve their own lives. Motion is essential to the human experience, and one has only to experience pain to recognize how much each body part is used and how it affects the use of other parts.

As a physical therapist, I will embody APTA’s vision by providing quality, client-centered therapy geared toward improving each patient’s life by enhancing his or her movement capabilities. Limited or painful movement can create a multitude of issues for a person, and my goal is to allay each of these when treating patients. To provide the best care possible, I will be perceptive of clients’ needs as well as individual traits and always have the patient’s best interest in mind.

Having a training room environment that fosters a sense of professionalism, in-house therapists with accumulated experience of both years and all scenarios for healing and restorative expertise, now work in large fitness centers devoted to their many clients and patients.

It is not just my specialization that clients seek out. It is my one-on-one approach to caring for my patients. I have received good feedback that they like the way I address problems and offer outcomes that have proven to be very successful. Since a doctor's recommendation is no longer required before starting physical therapy, feel free to see me. I am welcoming anyone experiencing
