Physical therapy

Physical therapy is a health career in charge of helping patients who have suffered accidents, injuries or immobility in the body, restoring or improving the psychomotor ability of the individual or even of preventing possible permanent disability. This has different areas such as respiratory therapy, Neurotherapy, trauma and among other.
Since I was 15 I wanted to study a health career, but only two years ago I decided to study Physical Therapy owing to the fact that I didn't know. I did it mainly because when I report on this, note that is built around rehabilitation, an action that has interested me since teenager.
Still I don't know what area to choose physical therapy even though I'm interested in several (such as respiratory or neurology) but whatever my choice, I have the highest expectations about it, because when i decided to study this career, I did with the conviction of doing the best at my job to help my patients.

Physical therapy's web

Today, I would write about Physical Therapy's web. I found an web very interesant and important, this is http://www.Apta.org (APTA is a American Physical Therapy Association). At first it seems a complicated site, but when you understand how to use it, you can find important things like the history of the APTA. Also its goals, Policies and Bylaws, Sentence and Statement vision.
Apta.org, also includes, sections about practise of physical therapy. There, can find Clinical Practice Resources, Ethics and Legal Resources and Professional Development among other things, which would be very important for those students who are graduating.
On the other hand, if needed can find a physical therapist who is right for you in the national database of physical therapist members of the American Physical Therapy Association.
If you become a member of the website, you can receive various publications, articles or papers in your e-mail that can be used to get information of progress in Physical Therapy.
In my opinion, this is a great web of Physical Therapy, because it provides detailed and important information that can be useful for professionals, students or ordinary people.

I love...

  • Draw. I love draw. I draw since I was 12 years when i saw anime. For me is a way to relax and express what i think and feel. When I do, I like doing drawings of people, objects or abstract things. I believe that in an art like this, people have to work patiently and perseverance.
  • Play to guitar. I love music therefore I decided to play the guitar (I try... hahaha). It's so funny although sometimes frustrating when the chords don't sound right.. but I keep trying because I'm seeing positive results of my efforts. Must be very patient in this if you don't have the "skills"
  • Read. Also, I love read book, short histories, magazines or anything interesting. This as I have been developing recently when I found it fun and exciting to read. I concentrate and Abstract both reading I start to really worry about what happens there as if it were true. Now I'm reading Madame Bobary
  • Finally, I like singing, well, in general i love the music. This is a hobby that I got from my mother - she sings great- so I started to attend the school choir at 14. Now, I participate in the university choir and it's great because when I sing I feel that music can heal any pain I may have.

February 27th 2010

This night, I was playing on the notebook when i decided to go to sleep. When I stood up I felt slight movement but i didn't fright me but when I felt that went up the intensity of the tremor i decided to go see my little sister and I reacted with quickly to get her out of bed and put us in a safe place. Soon, my mom came and stayed with us.
When all ended, we decided to call my dad but the phones were jammed but recently I communicate with him at about 7 am and he was more scared than us. I can say that this has been one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had in my short life. After what happened, As a family we rethink what is really important in life.
With my sister went to donate money in the campaign that took place at the national level and also went to cooperate in the church of the commune.
