Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Moira and Ruby!

Moira and Ruby worked with a patient with a cervical spams, utilizing manual therapy such as a suboccipital release and soft tissue mobilizations to the upper trapezius. They also incorporated exercises to promote scapular mobility such as serratus anterior punches, and scapular wall walks. They additionally collaborated with a translator, as the patient’s primary language was Spanish. Great work, girls!

Congrats to our volunteers of the week: Cosette and Cori!

Cosette and Cori collaborated to progress exercises for a patient with low back pain, incorporating extension based exercises such as prone press ups and bridges, as well as lower extremity and core exercises such as side-stepping with a Theraband, planks and palloff presses. They also utilized Spanish translation services to ensure proper communication with the patient throughout the session. The patient overall reported improvement in their symptoms throughout the session. Great work, girls!

Congratulations to our volunteer of the week: Madison!

Madison has continuously stepped up to volunteer and is always there for when the clinic needs an extra set of hands. She has been working with a patient with generalized balance and gait dysfunction, incorporating interventions to promote the use of the patient’s cane on even and uneven surfaces, as well as stairs. She also utilized dual-tasking with exercises to address cognition. Great job, Madison!

Congratulations on our volunteers of the week: Jimmy & Erin!

Jimmy and Erin assisted in performing an evaluation on a patient with chronic low back pain. Together, they took ROM measurements, MMTs and palpation on the patient’s paraspinals, noting episodes of muscle spasms and guarding throughout the session. They collaborated to create a home exercise program to work on gentle stretching and mobility of the spine, including hamstring stretching, posterior pelvic tilts, and glute bridges. Great work guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Dylan and Kyle!

Dylan and Kyle have consistently been stepping up to volunteer throughout the semester, especially on the days where we have less volunteers. Last week, they worked with a patient with impairments consistent with MCL pathology, providing patellar mobilizations and incorporating lower extremity stretching to improve knee ROM. Both of their hard work does not go unnoticed! Great job, guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Aaron and Julia!

This pair worked with a patient with impairments consistent with lateral epicondylitis. They utilized finger glides, ball squeezes, and weighted pronation/supination with dumbbells to improve wrist grip strength and functional ROM of the wrist and digits. Aaron also performed soft tissue mobilization to the wrist extensors to improve tissue extensibility and decrease pain. The patient reported little to no pain by the end of their session. Great work guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Bella, Mike & Kera!

This trio performed an evaluation on a patient with a R calcaneal fx. They collaborated to measure ankle ROM, perform ankle MMTs, and analyze the patient’s gait and stair negotiation. It was determined that the patient had limited ROM and weakness of the R ankle, likely due to prolonged immobilization in a boot post-fracture, as well compensations at the hip and knee with gait for pain management. This patient was educated on the importance of strengthening the ankle and improving ROM after a calcaneal fracture to help restore functional mobility. Great work guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Allie, Liam & Claire!

This trio of DPT 2’s collaborated to work with a patient with low back pain and balance deficits. By doing so, they worked on identifying if the source of the back pain had a neurological or musculoskeletal component. They incorporated sciatic nerve glides, hamstring stretches, and modified Thomas stretches into this patient’s plan of care along with exercises requiring TA contractions, and monitored the patient’s pain response accordingly. It was determined that increased TA activation with exercise decreased this patient’s pain with functional mobility. Great work guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Kieran and Jesus!

Kieran and Jesus provided an excellent session with a patient with low back pain, identifying an SIJ component. By doing so, they performed the SIJ compression/distraction test, Gaenslen’s test, and the Weber-Barstow maneuver, which were all positive for SIJ pathology. Jesus also provided Spanish translation services to gather an extensive subjective report by the patient. Great work guys!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Chris, Ashley & Bobby!

This trio treated a patient with balance and gait dysfunction. They collaboratively worked to challenge this patient’s propulsion, which is a key biomechanical subcomponent of gait. By doing so, they provided resistance to the patient’s trunk with a TheraBand. To challenge this, they additionally applied perturbations to the patient using the TheraBand. Great work guys!

09/17/2025

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Kaitlin and Noelle!

Kaitlin and Noelle both volunteered on Tuesday and Thursday, performing 2 evaluations each. Kaitlin screened for red flags in a patient with low back pain and referred the patient to the medical clinic for further testing. Noelle led evaluations for a patient with low back pain and a patient with chronic knee pain. Both collaborated with Spanish translators to gather an extensive subjective history from their patients. Great work girls!
