Accomplishments

====For my job shadow I went to Bucks Physical Therapy located in Warminster off of York Road. Ed Zimmerman was my mentor for the day and he is the Director of this business. Bucks Physical Therapy helps people recover from an injury, accident, illness, or medical condition. They help others return to a state of function and mobility safely and as quickly as possible. My mentors’ responsibilities include helping others recover from injuries or disorders. He also has to do a lot of the paperwork and stay on top of the overall outlook of the business. During the day I helped with a lot of side jobs. I brought hot wet towels to the customers so they could put it on the spot that was in pain. Also I watched my mentor take measurements of the injured or swollen parts of the clients’ body to see if there has been any progress or change. I also was able to talk to the patient's and hear their side of the story of what happened to cause their injury. From this experience I have learned that to be successful you must have motivation, determination, and be a hard worker. ====
