February 2016

A word of encouragement

During particularly frustrating weeks, when you lose points for stupid reasons or you’re bored to tears reading through power points or you’re up way too god damn late studying for your fourth test of the week and you have no idea if you’re even cut out to practice physical therapy, think of this.

1. Every brilliant professor you’ve had started out EXACTLY where you are. Not everyone comes out of the womb understanding roll and glide kinematics.

2. You have only just started your life in pt. give yourself a break for tough concepts.

3. Just because your classmate is a wiz at neuro doesn’t mean you have to be too.

4. Look at how much you’ve learned in the last year. Or the last semester. Or hell, in the last week. You are learning SO MUCH. Much more than you aren’t retaining.

5. You gotta start somewhere. You don’t just get handed a doctorate degree for nothing.

Anywho, carry on, pt nerds. Finish the week strong. That is all.

When that massage lecture comes in clutch during exam weeks

Because nothing relieves test anxiety quite like stripping down in class and letting your classmates roll the stress away.

When you're approaching what I like to call "pre-midterm midterms"
Almost as nauseating as post-midterm midterms.

Manipulation of the cervical spine was the treatment.

An open letter to people who wear backpacks at their butt level

I am sad for your lumbar spine.

I’ll see you in a few years for treatment.

"Physical Therapists are just glorified physical trainers, right?"

Wrong. About 4.5 years of school and a doctorate degree wrong.

People keep asking me how the first week back went

I haven’t done a tour in Iraq and then been sent in for my second, but I imagine it feels very similar to how I felt this week.
