Adventures in Physical Therapy

So this is a hamstring stretch (obviously)...But, did you know that tight hamstrings, IT Bands (Illiotibial Band, google it) and a tight hip can lead to lower back pain? Well, it does. Now this does not mean go into some super stretching frenzy cause your saying dang I have lower back pain. But, I recommend that you just start getting more stretches in for your day. One before bed, middle of the day, and before bed. I think those are the easiest ways to get it in. (3 times a day is the general recommendation)

And if you happen to be someone who only works out (exercises) and does not take the time to stretch this will eventually catch up with you. So hey, advice for the day...STRETCH MORE!!

Yeah, these are the few mini pieces of advice you will hear our head Physical Therapist (PT) tell a patient. This interning stuff is not easy at all. Its rough days and long days a majority of the time. Our head PT is always under stress because its more than just working out with a patient. There is paper work, office duties, meetings, etc. etc. So a PT's job just does not just stop at a patient. And its times where the head PT gets crunk on me and I have to really keep my Paul Lawrence Dunbar game up ya feel me...And I get heated when people come at me crazy...but, I have to just listen and keep it moving. She is usually happier when the Physical therapy assistant is there because I guess she can bounce more work and more clients off to him as oppose to me. But, none the less the experience has been fresh.

I have been learning a lot of stuff. Already giving people mini advice...nothing to fancy but just enough to help them out. Its usually stuff about posture and ergonomics (google it). You would be surprise how horrible our posture is as people. You are probably slouching right now as you read this...(now straighten up lol) But yea, there will be more tales to come from the clinic. Oh, and if you think I am SUPER RANDOM you should see what they think...cause they have never seen someone so RANDOM before so they just be laughing they behinds off at me and my foolishness. But yea, im out for now...Oh yea I got my massage table so the game is about to be a smooth rap! Get at me!

And I guess that black guy looks pretty funny but thats usually me and will eventually be me!! It will take a long time but I will make it happen!
