I am volunteering at another physical therapy place where there are younger peeople and the injuries are more from sports. Since I am going to be focusing more on the athletic side of injuries i needed to get a bigger picture of how physical therapy is for those types of injuries other than just from old age or surgeries.
(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.
This was one of the shorter videos that I had watched this month but in the little given time it helped me a lot to understand how technique is very important and critical.
This is the reason why I knew that I needed to look for another physical therapy place where they tend to have more patients from sports related injuries.
(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.
The video actually made me realize that for what I thought was exercising the "right way" was actually wrong. He talks about how some people who try to recover themseleves do the wrong movements. We need to be moving diagnal not just staight up/down and left/right motions becuase in real life we move in all sorts of directions. Also, when we want to stretch and exercise our injured areas, the proper approach would be to to strengthen the injured area along with the rest of your body. Minor imbalances could also be the reason why most injuries occur. When one side or part of the body is weaker than the other side, you are more likely to get an injury. Therfore it is recommended to exercise the entire body to keep it well-balanced.
