As an aspiring Physical Therapist in the health care field, I plan to treat, restore, and promote a better quality of life in my patients by implementing and teaching them the benefits of a physically active lifestyle. I will accomplish this through: (1) diagnosing and managing movement dysfunction through examination processes, (2) performing tests and measures to identify potential and existing problems, (3) develop and implement rehabilitation programs, and (4) teach patients the health benefits of physical activity.

​

            As a physical therapist, I plan to use my skills, experiences, and knowledge to diagnose and manage physical dysfunctions by taking patient history, conducting system reviews, and performing strength and ROM (range of motion) measures. I will also use doctor to patient interventions that will help me to understand the client’s current complaints, pain level, and prior surgeries if necessary.

​

            As a health care professional, I will also be developing rehabilitation programs specific to the patients needs. I will be doing this by modifying interventions as necessary, conduct re-examinations, and modifying the intensity and goals to the patient’s demands each week.

​

            Furthermore, as a health care professional, I plan to teach patients the benefits of physical activity and the benefits in leading a healthier lifestyle. I will accomplish this over the course of their rehabilitation process by showing them how physical activity can not only improve their strength, function, and endurance, but their quality of life as well.
