Virginia has a long and rich history in the United States. Throughout history there have been many different events that have taken place in Virginia which helped play a vital role in the making of our great country. Virginia’s mark on America can be seen with the first established colonies in North America by Great Britain. Let’s began in May of 1607, British Empire established the first permanent colony of North America in Virginia this settlement was name Jamestown. The name Jamestown derives from King James I of England who claimed the territory in North America between the 34th and 35th degree parallel starting from the mouth of the Charles River in currently South Carolina north to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This territory was split into

Physical therapy practices have an expense of time and should only be performed by a licensed or certified veterinarian or physical therapist. The question of which is a better practice for the rehabilitation in canine between aquatic therapy or traditional land-based form of therapy? Physical therapy in practice to canines started in the 1980s’ and has taken off ever since. A program for patients to get back to a sustainable condition in a time period helping the animals recover. Aquatic therapy is a new fad in the veterinary practices of rehabilitation and the result are exceptional at the first look but is it a great picture over all. (McGonagle et al. 2014)

Robert A. Heinlein once said, “Yield to temptation, it may not pass your way again” which is similar to Odysseus’ motto in The Odyssey. It is his motto, because he submits to the alluring women who entice him with extravagant gifts. Odysseus is constantly dealing with obstacles that have been set in place by the gods. Mainly the complication involves a woman being a temptress to detour Odysseus from his journey home to Ithaca. Eventually, Odysseus resists the appealing women so that he can continue his journey home and once he is there he can finally reconnect his wife Penelope. In The Odyssey women have a narrow, but significant role similar to their role in ancient Greece. Every time there is enticement present Odysseus yields, especially when the

Predominantly, a physical therapist must be compassionate and caring. My family members and I are accustomed to taking care of one another, regardless of the age or circumstance. Along with these age differences come different opinions; because of this, at a very young age, I quickly understood the meaning of empathy. I have become accustomed to practicing compassion at home, that it has now become second nature to me.

Physical Therapy programs are presented as a master’s (MPT, MSPT, MS) or doctoral (DPT) degree from an accredited physical therapy program. In order to be admitted to a DPT, MPT, MSPT, or MS program you have to first either completely obtain, or have been working at least three years closer to an undergraduate baccalaureate accredited

Prior to start addressing the issue of increasing diversity in the physical therapy profession, I think it is important to establish the benefits of having a variety of people among health care professionals in a society with a plethora of cultural and ethnic groups. The ability of speaking a native language, and/or relate to cultural values, among many other diversity components have a great positive impact when people are accessing health care and understanding their medical conditions and the plan of care implemented. We all feel more comfortable with those we detect commonalities. Health care providers’ diversification increases our capability to reach out to those we serve and help eliminating or a least minimizing health disparities and inequities.

Per our telephone conversation on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, you informed your VR counselor that you have terminated your physical therapy sessions and we both realize that your successful completion of physical therapy was an important step toward your participation in the work evaluation. The agency has been unable to provide VR services within the past two years and it appears that the agency will not be able to provide VR services in the foreseeable future.

This week’s forum raises a fundamental question on the readiness of the United States physical therapy (PT) profession to integrate prescribing medication as part of its autonomous practice. Currently, the United Kingdom (UK) is the sole nation that has provided their PTs the authority to prescribe medication without any physician’s authorization (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy [CSP], 2012). The UK’s PTs journey in attaining an independent prescriber status underwent a rigorous process before it even came into effect in June 2012. Before achieving the independent status for prescribing drugs in 2012, the PTs in the UK already has supplementary prescribing rights since 2005 (CSP, 2013; Cooper et al., 2008). To adequately address the

The process a student experiences to become a licensed physical therapist certainly is strenuous due to the average 3.52 GPA an individual should acquire to be accepted into a PT program (Ross). Before a student sets up an application for a program, s/he is required to receive a bachelor’s degree that pertains to any basic science course such as anatomy, physiology, biology, chemistry, or physics (“Physical Therapy Schools”). Although a bachelor’s degree may be earned, specific classes need to be taken by a student to enroll in any PT program; these courses include, but not limited to, psychology, statistics, physics with lab, and chemistry with lab in order to comprehend the functions of the human body and achieve the ability to deduce the

Ever since I was young my life goals were to help others when I grew up, however I wasn’t exactly sure how. Throughout the past couple years, with a wonderful support system; I have been able to make the decision about wanting to achieve the goal of becoming a physical therapist. It is my belief that I have a high spiritual calling to be a physical therapist, because I have the intention to be able to guide others. I gather that this can be spiritual, because helping others is what God’s intentions are, and would recommend others to follow in His footsteps. My mindset is indeed compassionate, empathetic, selfless, and strong with a thirst for knowledge. Being a physical therapist has many rewards such as happiness, equality, and a sense of accomplishment which can be very valuable and will affect my life in a positive manner.

In earlier days sports psychology was mostly concerned with developing assessment methods that would identify those people with the potential to become serious superior athletes. Today the focus is on psychological training, exercises that strengthen the mental skills that will help athletic performances on the path to excellence. These skills include mental imagery and focus training. If an athlete is serious about becoming the best he or she can possibly be, the most essential ingredient is commitment to practice the right things. It takes incredible commitment to reach the top: a commitment to rest and train the body so it can perform under the most demanding conditions and a commitment to train the mind to

Injuries and challenges always have an impact on a athletes abilities and there physical and mental wanting to keep on playing. One challenge I had playing some of these sports is the coaches. Some coaches you have through your high school or athletic career will help you and assist you. One coach I had for track was the total opposite of that, instead of helping us, all she would do is criticize everything that a person would do wrong and ignore the team if they had questions. She wouldn’t help us resolve our problem and I found that as a challenge for me because if I needed help on some tips for running, she would not help. How I responded to this situation is by talking to her about the ways she coaches. She didn’t respond very well to what I had to say but at least I stood up and said something. She learned that I didn’t like how she was coaching and that’s how I resolved my situation with her.
