This week I was able to do my clinical hours under a different preceptor because my primary preceptor does not have many hours right now. Instead, I was able to clinically experience with the athletic trainer who is over the men’s and women’s swim team and baseball. This was nice because I have not had many rehab hours this semester, and she gets a lot of baseball rehabs with a good amount for swim pre-treatments. I was able to see a baseball player on Wednesday and make his rehab for Friday which I got to work with him again. He is working on strengthening his posterior muscle to correct his posture and help his pitching. It is also suspected that he may have a small SLAP tear and the athletic trainer is taking precautions with that as well. The rehab I made consisted of a warm up on the upper body ergometer followed by some stretching. Then I had him do sky punches, gunslingers, banded ABC’s and perturbations. I really enjoyed getting to work on this rehab. The patient is really easy going and works hard on his rehab. This was also good timing because I was finishing up a project to calculate how much revenue I could generate over two weeks. I was happy to have more patient contacts this week then I have had most of the semester. I feel like it gives me a closer representation on my worth-value study than if I were to only have a few patient contact for the whole two weeks. While the shoulder is not my favorite to evaluate, I really enjoy doing rehabs. It’s very different from the ankle or hip which have been my primary rehabs that I have been a part of. If I had to choose my favorite part of the body to eval and rehab I think I would go with the ankle and wrist. These are just two areas that the anatomy makes more sense in my head so it is easier to find what is wrong and how to fix it.

This is where I do my weekly clinical blog assignment. There is either a prompt I am responding to, or I just talk about something exciting I saw during the week.
