Observation Assignment On March 9th, 2016 I visited Penn Medicine Southern Chester County facility. Penn Medicine Southern Chester Country facility is a branch of a nonprofit Hospital. Penn Medicine physical therapy outpatient facilities have hours from 7:00am to 8:00pm during the weekdays. They are closed during the weekends. The exercise room is very large almost the size of a lecture hall. There are fifteen rehabitational tables, two evaluation rooms, and two offices. Age of clients range from young adult to elderly. Client’s diversity is mostly Caucasian. I love physical therapy. I love the hours, accommodations for a family, and the process of improving lives. As I volunteer with different physical therapy facilities I am noticing common

    Pt 826 Week 4 Mechanical Neck Pain

    PT 826 Reading Assignment The information given in the article by Lau, Chiu, & Lam (2010) about using thoracic manipulation for the treatment of neck pain was very new to me.

    APA Vision Summary

    Part of the vision is the concept of physical therapists moving more into the community which is also part of social responsibility as one of APTA’s core values (APTA, 2012). To build on this vision, physical therapists need to move past looking at the shoulder or knee injury from the traditional medical model of treating a patient, and more toward how it is impacting their daily movement and functioning at home, school, work or recreation (Hayhurst, 2014). The physical therapists in the school system have already moved away from this medical model given the environment in which we work. However, the school staff relies on therapists for medical and clinical expertise. The only interaction with physicians is to sign a plan of care if the individual therapist is billing Medicaid for a student’s therapy services which are carried out through a fax…
