Well, I am about to take on something that I have been wanting to do for about 2 years now. Start writing about my experiences and how as a physical therapist (PT) I can change the world. I hear many stories from patients that want to get better, but don't seem to want to work at getting better. Our bodies are incredible machines. We need to take care of this machine. There is no one right way to improve this machine. As in many professions, there are different approaches and opinions on the best approach to treatment. Some PT's go with the old, this is what I've always done, or been shown to do. Others try different approaches. In the end, all PT's are trying to make changes, but some are more efficient than others.
I was that PT that did things because that what we always did. Over the past 5 years, I have furthered my education, looking for evidence to support my treatment plans, and working to improve how to communicate this to my patient. I recently completed my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine in Florida. This has only made my desire to improve my knowledge and help my patients grow more than ever. I hope that my desire to find research will help others to search out the best in PT.
