Even when I walked into the physical therapy office of Raleigh Orthopedics at 8am, it was packed. I was introduced to the people who worked there, which included two physical therapists, one strength and conditioning coach, one athletic trainer, and the receptionist. They were all very friendly and made me feel welcome. I spent the day watching what each person was doing, looking at different patients with a variety of needs. I saw knee injuries, ligament tears, back pains, heel issues, and a lot more. During my lunch break, I saw my good friend Ruhi Dholakia walk into the office, coming in for her weekly session. I didn’t expect to see her, but it shows how wide of a community physical therapy reaches. The most impressive thing I saw was when one of the therapists, Dennis, dry needle-ed a woman in her calf. He stuck many thin needles into the leg, leaving them sitting in one leg and moving the needles around in the other. The woman didn’t show any signs of pain, so I was quite surprised by that. I look forward to going back tomorrow and seeing more people and means of recovery.
