Dynamx Physical Therapy
Dynamx Physical Therapy is a clinic that offers one on one quality physical therapy, hand therapy, and recovery treatments for different conditions. Based on the location of the injury, they use different methods to treat them. Additionally, they have multiple people working in their different locations and each physical therapist has their specialties. Dynamx tries to enhance wellness, injury prevention, and movement education within its patients, community, and community partners.
I see myself offering value to them by helping with the little things that do not require you to do with a degree. I also plan on helping the physical therapists from worrying about the little things since I can help take care of that. I talked to one of the physical therapists there and he seemed to be willing to help me get a feel of what it is like working there.
CORE Physical Therapy
CORE Physical Therapy provides patients with hands-on therapy by licensed therapists. The staff is passionate about getting people back to normal and live better lives. They also hope to provide them with opportunities to continue promoting their health to achieve optimal fitness and wellness after their sessions. They also want to build personal relationships with one patient and physician at a time.
I see myself offering value by helping these physicians with paperwork or anything that can be done without a degree. Sometimes getting someone young into work can also bring good energy to the environment. I will also try to complete the work given in the best and efficient way. I can also gain experience on what the life of a physical therapist is like.
Whitter Hospital Medical Center
Whitter Hospital Medical Center physical therapy will do a complete evaluation of strength, mobility, coordination, and pain or discomfort. From there they create a treatment plan that will be designed specifically for the client. This rehabilitation of physical therapy is more geared for hospital patients and need a referral from a doctor rather than showing up for pain.
I see myself offering value because I originally had the intention of working in a hospital. I am also taking classes to become an EMT so I will have some medical experience before working as a physical therapist. I wanted to help patients gain hope again after a major injury that is like a setback for them. My optimistic views will help motivate people when feeling down.

Because my career is mostly medically related I would put my experiences with medicine first and the volunteering experiences I have. This can come from my internships and outside experiences like training to become an EMT and jobs. I would then state why I want to be either a physical therapist or a physician assistant. Because patient care is based on how well you treat the other person, I will include my personality traits that will be helpful.
