During my internship I gained knowledge in various specialties setups like orthopedic physiotherapy, neurology physiotherapy, pediatric neurology physiotherapy, cardiology physiotherapy, community based rehabilitation, where, I was supposed to treat mentally challenged children and the case presentations during the internship has improved my skills in communicating, understanding the patients problem and diagnosing them. Further proceeding treatment protocol. Moreover, my fifty-day summer training in Manual Therapy in the Clinical Reasoning Perspective at the Bangalore based Padmashree Clinic this year, was an enriching hands-on apprenticeship where I learnt effective ways to approach the affected part for an initial assessment using the Maitland Approach. The Maitland Concept of Manipulative Physiotherapy appealed to me for it demanded complete commitment from the attending physiotherapist to the patient under treatment on a one-on-one basis, besides being a proponent of the use of continuous evaluation and assessment and emphasizing knowing when, how and which techniques to use each individual patient’s injury, disorder or pain.
