What’s The Recovery Time For Removing Inflammatory Tissue In A Shoulder?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 8, 2010
My shoulder has been pretty bad cause of a work related injury. A recent MRI showed no Rotator Cuff damage but I do have a lot of Inflammatory tissue in the joint that medication and Physical therapy has fail to help. The doc. told me they could go in clear it out but won’t give me much information. You see, he works at the clinic owned my the job that injuried me. So, if they do this surgery how long will my recovery be?
Physical Therapy Volunteer Hours? Best Time And Types…?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 13, 2010
Hello,
I am planning on going back to school for physical therapy and had a question about volunteer hours. When should I do them? I am going to need to go back to undergrad and take about a year’s worth of prerequisites. Is it best to begin my volunteer hours before I start taking them, during school, or should I wait until I finish my prereqs in order to get a better understanding of the human body and medical issues that warrant physical therapy?
Also, what different types of areas do you recommend I volunteer for? I am going to be volunteering next week in a pediatric outpatient clinic. What other areas should I consider? Does it matter where I volunteer? Should I seek out the most prestigious PT clinics in my area?
Thanks to all who reply.
