Help Please!!! I Need To Summarize This Paragraph And Don’t Know How. ?
I need to summarize this paragraph and don’t know how. Just started school after 17 years of break and don’t remember ever summarizing any article. Never had to do any in bilingual classes. Please help!!
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that leads to the breakdown of the cartilage in joints. In people with osteoarthritis, exercise helps maintain good joint health, manage symptoms and prevent functional decline. But studies have shown that the benefits of a structured exercise program are short-lived. The beneficial effects usually fade soon after participation in the program ends. The occupational therapy program in this study was designed to educate osteoarthritis patients about joint protection, proper body mechanisms, activity pacing, and environmental barriers. The participants of the current study were divided into two groups. The first group participated in a structured exercise program and the occupational therapy program. The second group participated in the same exercise program, but received health education in place of the occupational therapy. Only the group that engaged in occupational therapy increased the intensity of
physical activity at the end of the study.
Life/career Change- Need Advice, Please. Should I Venture Into A Small Business Or Go Back To School For Pt?
I am 43 yrs. old. I have a BA in Linguistics and a Masters in Special Education. I have worked in the school system for 10 yrs. in the field of Special Ed. and am completely burnt out…too much paperwork and politics. I need to earn a living, but can not see myself teaching long term. I had thought of doing some type of small business (health products, maybe) but don’t know where to start. Also have considered returning to college to get a degree in physical therapy or the like. But, I do not really want to spend the time and money getting another degree. I am a natural writer …but not sure if that can sustain me in the present. Any suggestions or helpful advice….thanks in advance for your comments!

Lgbt Ignorant People’s Education. I Need Opinions!!?
I am doing a presentation on being sensitive to others with a sexual orientation different than your own. It is for grad students in physical therapy. Some have never known an LGBT. Weird, huh?
Anyway, I was hoping that ya’ll could share some stories or experiences, or anything you feel is important for these people to know. Here are some examples of questions
+Have you ever been offended by a healthcare worker? What happened?
+Do you feel it is appropriate for a healthcare worker to ask your orientation? How can they do that in a nonoffensive way?
+Have you ever been discriminated against? What happened?
+Do you believe that this presentation is necessary?
+Are there any other things you feel a person ignorant to LGBT shoud know?
Thank you for your answers. If you are uncomfortable posting, you can feel free to email me
Do You Need A License To Do Acupressure If You Are A Chiropractor?
I am curious because I am considering become a Chiropractor, and right now I am learning acupressure. I wonder if you need a seperate license as a massage therapist? Or is it legal without a license because you are already licensed to use physical contact to treat people, and forcing you to get another license is redudant? Obviously, you would have to get a massage therapy education as well, but I am curious of the licensing aspect. Thanks for reading!
Ok I Need Majorrrr Help **guys Please** And Maybe Some Girls Who Are Expert Flirters?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 22, 2010
Ok so there is this doctor at my physical therapy clinic he is one of the most attractive men ive seen in a long time and hes seems real sweet. The thing is everytime I see him he is busy with a patient and I am busy with my physical therapy excercises. The only time i see him is when he is walking around the office or passes by my room. When I see him he always stares at me so I smile and he smiles back. I really wanna talk to him but how can i do that if everytime I see him its only for a few seconds?? And im certainly not going to interrupt him while he is with a patient…..Also my physical therapy only lasts for another few weeks so I need to try and talk to him asap.

Need Advice On Finding A College?
I’m really interested in cosmetology, but my mind is kind of telling me to go with something that will better me in the long run. More along the lines of educational, or medical. I was very interested in athletic trainer/physical therapy. . now i’m thinking about physical education being a PE teacher. But that wouldn’t be fun to me, cosmetology would. I think its more along the lines of what college to pick. I’m thinking more along the lines of boston, or montreal, i want to get away from my woodsy area of maine.
