Physical Therapist Observation

• Mar 2017 - May 2017

I observed a licensed physical therapist and learned a lot about how they treat several different musculoskeletal injuries/pathologies and the many manual techniques/interventions they used for pain relief and increasing patient function such as dry needling, PNF techniques, soft tissue massage, and joint mobilizations. I also learned and applied some of the many duties of a rehabilitation technician such as administering basic modalities like electrical stimulation and heat/cold packs.
