The key to working the patients out is to avoid maximal execution of energy, and instead workout using mild to moderate exercises. Maximal exercises have been shown to be counterproductive, and may contribute to the loss of strength seen in MD patients 11. Exercises should be adapted to where they are enjoyed and the patient does not dread going through them. If the patient is a child the therapist could refer to the treatment as “play time” and make the exercise more of a game. Patients with MD benefit greatly with swimming in a pool. The hydrostatic pressure in the pool takes weight off the swimmer and allows for more controlled and easier movements. Pools can lead to getting more out of a treatment session. Therapists could also perform massage or point patients in the direction of yoga. Both have shown to increase relaxation and provide positive psychological benefits.
PT professionals may perform postural drainage due to respiratory problems often seen in MD patients. They may teach coughing techniques or even manually assist the patient in coughing. If the respiratory muscles get severe enough the PT professional may recommend the use of a device that will assist the patient with breathing, especially patients that have breathing problems arise at night. While the patient is losing the ability to ambulate the physical therapy team will first provide adaptive equipment such as walker or crutches

My patient was very active and attended the YMCA five days a week. I helped adjust her activities to balance her workout between circuit training, Yoga, and aquatic classes. It is incredibly important for an MS patient to get exercise to improve endurance and maintain or improve physical function. Setting a schedule to break apart similar activities helps to prevent fatigue and MS exacerbation. I also educated her on proper posture, proper set up and machine use, as well as proper form when completing free weight exercises. In addition, I educated the patient on proper stretching and treatment for her inflamed and overused
Lauren Smith is a five year old Caucasian girl who is demonstrating anxiety when separated from her mother. The family was referred to this service by their pediatrician.

BOO! The most iconic phrase to scare someone, but in this story scary will be taken to different level. There will be no table cloth ghosts or skeletons on strings. only the supernatural beings coming out to play on the ignorant. Irving’s “The Devil and Tom Walker” sets the scene with an eerie description of the characters and the setting. Irving’s style of writing is very humorous at times but then very serious at other. Irving also uses folktale throughout his stories. With all of these styles to make a point about human values.

Residential treatment (RT), which is currently recommended, actually places the substance abuser in a facility where care staff and experts who oversee their treatment monitor them. For Levi, this is a combination of medication, psychotherapy, physical activities, social activities, and counseling. The target is to support, guide, and monitor the client in completing this treatment plan, wherein the target is for the client to be rid of said addiction through the course of the plan. The continuum of care for addictive and compulsive behavior will be an important element in the plan. Additionally, the plan will take consideration of the particulars of the client to fit the plan to the client 's needs, situation, and personality. Wenzel, Brown and Beck (2009) suggest that "in the first session of counseling with suicidal patients, the following strategies should be used: (1) discuss structure and process of treatment, (2) emphasize compliance by the
