Diane Fenchel is a chiropractic physical therapist at Anchor Bay Spine Center in New Baltimore, Michigan. She has a second job for which she is the manager of the physical therapy department in a medical care facility. She spoke unfavorably of her second job, however. Diane said she does not like the system in place there, “it’s disorganized and has a lot of obstacles everyone has to push through, plus I don’t like the traditional medical field anyway.” Unfortunately Diane’s position does not entail the restructuring of systematic procedures for greater efficiency. Diane would not choose this managerial profession again. But what keeps Diane going is her passion for helping people & relating with them.…

Scenario 1: I had a new client come in, we followed the same rules and procedures as usual. She filled out the medical intake form, which I reviewed once it was given to me. The medical intake form, had listed some potential contraindications. Such as diabetes and high blood pressure. I went to go to introduce myself and took her to the therapy room. Once we were in a private room, I told her that those conditions could possibly prevent her from having the therapy performed. I started to ask her more about her conditions.

She mentioned that she had been living with them for several years, even stating that she had asked her doctor about massage therapy. I then decided that since her conditions were under control, I would perform the…

The Rest Cure was a treatment to help those who suffered from hysteria, women in particular. Neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell developed the rest cure in the late 1800’s. The treatment became popularized and spread throughout the United Kingdom and the United States. The treatment’s regimen consisted of enforced isolation, bed rest, and force-feeding. Patients were also prohibited from reading, writing, and even talking. A well-known writer by the name of Charlotte Perkins Gilman received the rest cure treatment and reacted strongly against it. Soon after the treatment Gilman wrote about her experience in a semi-autobiographical short story called, “The Yellow Wallpaper”. This small act of literature shed light on the harm the treatment did to…
Although, people claimed the “rest cure” developed by S. Weir Mitchell was effective, in many cases it triggered a bad response in the mental health of the patients and it damaged the individual (Poirier 15). Patients were asked to keep their opinions, emotions, unconformities and interrogations for themselves, and to ignore them. In this way, the physician would gain total control over the sick person. This person, was asked to rest for several weeks and in different levels, depending on how serious their problem was. They were not allowed to do any type of activity other than lay in bed, and were ordered to take some medication to help them relax. Additionally, the patient was alienated from their usual environment, including their family,…
Different clients are presented with different barriers that cause them to develop these limitations. Being that majority of our clients are students and student athletes they usually spend most of their time siting on hard stools with no back support as well as getting injured on the field which leads to the need to help improve their functions in siting, walking, and climbing stairs. The clinic treats clients till the age of 85. Older people tend to trip and fall while going about their day to day life. This tends to create the need to go to physical therapy to help them reduce pain, regain strength, and increase range of motion. At the same time when in comes to accessing physical therapy services many things have to fall into place in order for it to happen. Some clients are limited by their work schedule, while other by their need to care for dependents, and other by the limitations imposed by insurance such as limited visits, high co-pays, deductibles. While other are limited by their view of their condition. When they feel pain in their back they may ignore it and think it would go away on its own. After walking around with that intense back pain for 2 weeks they may realize that that little back pain wasn't nothing and it is something they should look into. But, by the time they start looking for a physical therapist and till they get verified it may take time and by then their pain may have spread and started problems in other parts of the body (J.M.,…

Carl, an elderly man that I worked with while volunteering at Fireside Convalescent Home helped me come to my decision.…
Acupuncture therapy has been known as a practice related to oriental medicine, and recently has been detected as a potential therapeutic tool for which there is good scientific evidence.
