Transformation

Patients that come to physical therapy show drastic transformations throughout their treatment process. Patients come in with walkers, canes, boots, and casts, and eventually after patience and time, they leave physical therapy without any extra assistance that they once had to rely on. The transformations that I have observed at Sports Care are truly remarkable, and give me insight on how much these therapists can impact another person's life.

Flow Sheets

This week I got a closer look at flow sheets that are used for each patient to keep track of the exercises they do and how long it takes for the patients to perform them. These sheets are sent to the insurance companies to calculate how much to bill the patients/insurance. I was able to actually help the aids and fill a new one out for some of the patients. The sheets include the name of the exercise, how many sets of each exercise the patient must complete, the therapist, the injury, and the dates of each visit. This also helps out the aids when having to tell each patient what exercise the therapist has assigned for them to do.
