I attended my first Physical Therapy combined sections conference in Las Vegas earlier this week. I can't tell you how great it is to be part of something as awesome as Physical Therapy. I bet you also didn't know that physical therapy now deals with women's pelvic health issues...I got really interested in the topic when we had a guest speaker come to our class and tell us all about it, interesting stuff! Now, I never saw myself as someone who would ever do a pelvic exam which includes internal palpation, but the thought of helping women with their pelvic issues is awesome! So while in Las Vegas I attended the following courses on the topic: Increasing Orgasm potential and a lecture on Constipation Dysfunction. Did you know that 24-57% of women have an orgasm dysfunction?!Wow! And millions suffer from constipation. I am hoping to be able to do my orthopedic internship at a clinic that offers women's health and manual therapy, best of both worlds! I am so undecided about which area of PT I want to go into when I am done with school...I love the spine, women's health is very interesting and I like pediatrics too! Agh, too many choices!
We also had a little free time to go out and have fun...so we went out to Club Prive at Plant Hollywood which was a lot of fun! I go to school with a great group of girls that have become great friends!
Part of my class with the founder of our school Dr. Paris...he is such a brillant man who has made so many advances in field of Physcial Therapy and I am so happy that I am going to the University of St Augustine!
