WBL INTERNSHIP: INTERN AT IN MOTION THERAPY
In my opinion professionalism isn't just being respectful to coworkers, showing up on time, and making sure your'e dressed appropriately. It's showing empathy to patients and coworkers when they're having a rough day or just got delivered bad news. It's knowing when to ask questions and if they're appropriate or relevant enough to ask. Its being conscious of how you act in situations and if you're reflecting yourself the best possible way. From working at in motion this has proven even more real from what I expierenced every day.
At the begining of summer I worked at In motion therapy but then it got consumed by the hospitals physical therapy clinic so we transfered to montrose memorial hospital.
For PT they have you do exercises to strengthen the injured muscle, tendon, or ligament. I wanted to know the hardest excersises you can do for different muscle groups.
This excercise was the hardest excercise Ive ever done. Its a full body exercise and it was extremely challenging for me.
This exercise was challenging but once your body got used to the stability of the medicine ball it was easier.
I personally didnt think this one was to bad. It really ingages your core and back.
What I would do other than observe patients
I wanted to be helpfu along with observant so whenever a patient was done sitting on the bed i would spray and wipe down the bed and change out the pillows.
Dry Needling
I saw dry needling every day, It was awesome and very disturbing to see and expeirence. It really isnt as bad as it seems and the research behind it is very interesting.
My Goals
Organization: Improve my time management and organizational skills by creating a schedule and write down what I need to do on a daily basis to help me stay on track.
Ask Questions: Improve my interpersonal skills by going out of my comfort zone to ask more questions to get the most out of my internship because the more you ask the more you know.
Be Confident: Try new things. Put yourself out there and break that comfort zone. Make the most out of your opportunity because times going to pass either way.
