Another fun day in the clinic! Today I got to dive deep into the exercise aspect of physical therapy. Most patients, whether recovering from a surgery or injury are given a number of exercises to do in the clinic and at home. These exercises target a specific area that the patient is weak in that directly correlates to their injury. I get to observe countless exercises every day and I noticed the equipment they used. Compared to all the different exercises, there is not much equipment. This is because each piece of equipment has multiple uses. For example the yoga ball can be used to do hamstrings curls, wall sits, and straight arm rotations.
