CG Sports Therapy

This week seems to have flown by, and I’m not complaining! My final session of the third rotation of clinic (so now I get lie ins on Tuesdays!) On Thursday the lecture was all about clinical reasoning, which is something I have on the top of my tongue but struggle to speak out sence.  The practicle was on knee mobilisations which I need some work on. This module is hard! We have a mock next week so I need some work!!! On Friday, we looked at the assumptions of normality for spss. I love doing stats. It’s so fun and challenging. Ended the week with a huge PB on park run, knocking 4 minutes off my time!

Boring week.. AGAIN.. I’ve done absolutely nothing this week and I’m happy! I had clinic on Tuesday which was good, I felt confident and I think I did well. On Thursday, my head was fried. We did arthrokinematics (movement of joints) it literally has friend my head. I was tired and it’s hard. In the practicle, we learnt the accessory movements of the shoulder which is pretty fun! On Friday, it was the introduction to statistics. Another head frier. But I like it!! It’s fun and it’s really cool! I can’t wait to do my dissertation now!

This week seems to have been the longest week ever.  Back in clinic Tuesday which meant an early morning and a productive day.  I enjoy clinic because I am so organised but I still lack the confidence in my ability.  Thursday came and we started on shoulder mobilisations which were fun. Ha.  On the shoulder you have to use your hips to do the movement so me and Jenna had a laugh doing that.  We looked at all the movements and I am excited to continue with this.  On Friday we had a lecture on our research proposal and ethics. Jeez I’ve never been so confused with anything in my life.  The concept is overwhelming.  This weekend is parkrun and a well earnt relax.  Shrewsbury at home to Plymouth too!

It is starting to irritate me how much free time I have this semester. I am bored and I am tired already. Monday we have a tens exam to ensure we are competent to use a tens machine for treatment. I ran another 10k and smashed my PB by 8.5 minutes Tuesday I did nothing, yet again. Wednesday, THE END OF RED JANUARY! Boy it’s been a long month!! Thursday we were back to lectures with a very hard lecture on the maitland concept for manual therapy. I don’t understand it at all yet, but I’m sure with some revision that will change. In the practicle we started to learn wrist mobilisations. This is super cool how you can treat the wrist in simple movements. If you want to treat pain, you have to use grade 1 and 2, but if you wanted to treat stiffness you use grades 3 and 4. For the wrist you have physiological movements, flexion, extension, radial and ulna deviation which you treat after you have assessed the range of movement and the pain. You also have accessory movements like dist...
