We could like to congratulate our volunteers of the week: Chris, Claire, and Laura! Last week, they treated a patient who presented with wrist pain following a FOOSH injury, with concerns for a possible distal radius or carpal fracture. After reviewing the patient’s X-ray results, which ruled out a fracture, they demonstrated excellent clinical reasoning by confidently progressing the patient’s care. They implemented appropriate wrist mobilizations and range of motion exercises to promote recovery and restore function. Way to go team!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Aidan, Christian, and Kasidy! This team worked with a patient on functional reaching tasks by incorporating the counter and cabinets in our clinic. By using these everyday surfaces, they made the activity task-specific and meaningful, helping the patient practice movements that directly translate to daily activities at home. Great job creating a functional and engaging treatment session!

We had a busy week in the clinic this past week with our volunteers working hard to provide quality patient care!
A special shoutout to our volunteers of the week: Jenn, Jimmy, and Daniella! (not pictured) These SPTs completed a thorough evaluation on a patient presenting with left wrist pain following a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH) injury. In collaboration with Dr. Crowell, they recognized the need to rule out a potential proximal carpal or distal radius fracture. They made a plan for next session to address the need for an x-ray to rule out a fracture. Great job demonstrating strong clinical judgement!

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Anya, Laura, and Claire! These ladies worked together to complete a thorough evaluation for an individual experiencing left-sided sciatica pain. They were also able to work collaboratively with volunteers from the med clinic to provide Portuguese translation services. Their ability to communicate effectively across language barriers ensured the patient felt heard, understood, and supported every step of the way! Great job team! 👏

Congratulations to our volunteers of the week: Chris, Mia, Claire, and Jesus! This team worked together to complete a thorough evaluation for a patient recovering from a left ankle ORIF. A special shoutout to Jesus, who stepped in last minute to assist with translation, helping ensure clear communication and a more comfortable experience for our patient! Great work team!

Opening day at the Leahy Clinic was a huge success! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the semester brings 🙂

We’d also like to give a shoutout to our volunteers of the week, Liam, Gwyn, and Daniella! They went above and beyond by completing a thorough examination for an individual presenting with right shoulder pain. Additionally, they demonstrated great teamwork by practicing what they learned in the classroom in a clinical setting. Way to go guys!

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!

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!
