This unit I was in PT , the environment was really chilled and quite. Every patient was using a different kind of equipment. Some where using the bicycle machine , while others were using a medicine ball, stretchy tape, weights or stepping stools. The staff was very helping to the patients and instructing them on all the exercise they wanted them to do. They were also very encouraging to the patients.

   There were a lot of patients there so the staff had to communicate well in order to have a running unit.. Some staff members waiting their turn in order for their patient to use the equipment. Some safety procedures included just making sure the staff member put up all equipment when their patient is done using it so no one is tripping over things. Therapy included different kind of exercises with the equipment in order to get to the area they needed help with back to normal.

  I Learned different exercise to help a patient with back injuries, leg injuries, and arm injures. A skilled I learned was how to react when I patents doesn't think your helping them . I learned how you would answer without being rude to the patient but also helping them to continue listening to instruction.

   PT was a unit I wasn't interested in because I felt like it was too boring for me and too slow and not lost of commotion. But it was a good learning and a great experience to watch this unit to be familiar with what a physical therapist does.
