The Diary Game- 08/09/2021 - CELEBRATING WORLD PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY AT THE CLINIC

Hi everyone, trust you're doing well. Today, 8 September is a day marked to celebrate physiotherapists and the physiotherapy association globally. I'm excited to be a physiotherapist.

I woke up very early today because I had a presentation and clinicals. I did my chores and drove to korle bu campus. at exactly 8 am I went to the studios of radio universe to share my experience and teach the public what actually physiotherapists do. I made them understand that physiotherapy is a health profession that specializes in promoting, maintaining, and improving wellness. We do physical examination, diagnosis, and rehabilitation to meet the needs of our patients.

We do this through physical exercise. This physical activity is done to promote function to maximize movement. So any movement that has been lost to an injury. Taking a stroke patient as an example, it is the responsibility of the physiotherapist to get the patient to as much function as possible.

Later in the afternoon, I went back to korle bu to continue my afternoon shift. Some of the cases seen at the clinic are low back pain, cervical problems, hemiplegic patients, cerebral palsy, etc. I took some clinicians through the use of cervical traction to reduce neck pain.

Today has been a wonderful day. Glad I had the opportunity to sell out my profession well. Thanks for reading!
