Reflection Paper On Physical Therapy

Final Reflection Paper 1. This semester I had the opportunity to complete my fieldwork at Northern Physical Therapy. While Northern Physical Therapy has many local clinics, I attended the Wayland location. My experience at this site involved me showing up on Mondays for 5 hours and Fridays for 4 hours, totaling around 9 hours per week. At the Wayland location, the clinic had two Physical Therapists, Matt and Denise, an Occupational therapist, Anna, an Occupational Therapist Assistance, Stephanie

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to observe at two Physical Therapy clinics. The first experience was at an outpatient clinic located in the Medical Arts and Research Center (MARC) in San Antonio, Texas (clinic A). While at clinic A, I observed a total of 18 patients, under two therapists. Of these patients, 16 were treated for musculoskeletal diagnosis; such as, frozen shoulder, cervical stenosis, low back pain and ACL repair. Other diagnosis observed include: two neuromuscular patients with

Altruism: The ultimate goal of a physical therapist is to improve a patient’s quality of life. With this ability to do so, it is important for a therapist to use their skills in a way to give back to their community. This devotion to helping people inside and outside of the clinic is important to share as it improves overall wellness within our society. Prior to working as a PT technician, I spent a year volunteering in physical therapy settings. I was able to learn and assist in PT related tasks

It was my first day of Physical Therapy I was at Summit Orthopedics in Vadnais Heights, and I smelt the same things as I did the time I came the first time to OrthoQuick. It was the smell of hand sanitizer and elder people. What I saw was the elder people waiting for their name to be called to go back with their physical therapist. My physical therapist name was Derek. He brought me back to a room that was no bigger than an average observation room. We started physical therapy by engaging my quad and

used clinical judgment and considered JY’s precautions for multiple lines, falls risk, and oxygen requirements. On Day 1 in the ICU, I performed elements of the Patient/Client Management Model – examination and evaluation – from the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice 3.0. JY had a severe expressive aphasia, and as a result, JY’s spouse served as an additional source to gather and interpret information from the patient. To evaluate arousal, attention, and cognition, I asked JY questions regarding

first began my internship I was unsure of whether or not I would want to be a Physical Therapist because I’ve had more of an interest in the nutrition aspect of having a better self. Ever since my first semester at Randolph taking the Nutrition and Fitness Performance class gave me an interest in wanting to become a nutritionist. What I didn’t expect was to come out of my internship wanting to become a Physical Therapy Assistant, Personal Trainer, and a Nutritionist. My first day I was excited to

Therefore, different types of therapy have developed to treat this mental disorder. Moreover, many studies have proved and evidenced the beneficial and great effects of art therapy in treating anxiety. Arts, music, drama, and poetry therapies are referred to as "creative arts therapies" because of their roots in the arts and theories of creativity. These therapies and others that utilize self-expression in treatment are also called “expressive therapies". This research paper will discuss and explain

This week’s reflection paper examines the implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques with a client whom experienced one severe episode of a panic attack. After the hyperventilation demonstration, Dr. Padesky (therapist) should have guided the client through one or two relaxation strategies. I found the demonstration helpful, however, it would have been extremely beneficial if the therapist educated the client on the calm breathing or progressive muscle relaxation techniques

posttraumatic stress disorder, learned helplessness, and resentment of the abuser that persists even when the abuse ends. There have not been designated therapies designed to help these women. Gayle L. Reed and Robert D. Enright (2006) examine the roles forgiveness therapy has on emotionally abused women in the article The Effects of Forgiveness Therapy on Depression, Anxiety, and Posttraumatic Stress for Women

Intern Reflection Paper The internship that I acquired during the summer of 2010 at the Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center (GSIRC), allowed me to gain an immeasurable amount of experience during my tenure at this facility. Within this period, the exposure to new concepts within the physical therapy industry allowed me to observe and work hands on with patients of all ages and disabilities that exposed me to various treatment plans and programs to restore client’s mobility.
