Internal discussion paperThe internship that I acquired during the summer of 2010 at the Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center (GSIRC), allowed me to gain experience immeasurable during my tenure at this establishment. During this time, exposure to new concepts within the physical therapy industry allowed me to observe and work directly with patients of all ages and disabilities, which exposed me various treatment plans and programs to restore client mobility. The Core Physical Education and Exercise Science (PEES) courses taken at Lander University were beneficial to my academic knowledge base, which prepared and developed me for opportunity in the discipline of physiotherapy. Working as an intern taught me responsibility for time management and working on a reduced schedule, which allowed me to further develop my skills. This reflection paper will illustrate my classroom experience, internship experience, and learning experience. GSIRC strongly encourages practical experience for student interns. In order to get a comprehensive idea of ​​what to do as a trainee, the PEES courses taken in previous semesters have proven to be remarkably accommodating in helping clients through rehabilitation workouts. In order to understand which anatomical part the patient is being rehabilitated, anatomy and physiology was one of the essential topics to know. Understanding anatomical terms helped me, as a trainee, understand the majority of diagnoses listed in patient records. As patients performed their exercises, it was also essential to understand the movements of each exercise such as abduction with external rotation or knee flexion. The course that was in the middle of the article ......e to work at Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center helped me strengthen my communication skills as well as my learning skills. Being able to have worked with many patients with a variety of diagnoses helps me learn more about how to manage time and develop my communication skills. The hands-on learning was a great experience to gather information from patients and the physical therapist (PT)/physiotherapist assistant (PTA). By assisting patients throughout their workout, I was able to analyze the muscles being used and focus more on form and movement. Watching the PT and PTA come up with their own exercises shows that there must be a lot of creative thinking that I picked up along the way. For the first time, I'm experimenting with using resistance bands and how effective they are compared to free weights and machines..
