I spent time in therapy, as well as with an athletic trainer. Due to my own injuries and my time spent in treatment, I developed an interest for physical therapy and the human body. The individuals who were a part of my physiotherapy were competent, confident, sociable, kind, patient and possessed insightful people skills. As a future physical therapist I hope patients observe these same skill sets in myself. An optimal therapeutic relationship should provide a fun and productive atmosphere. I plan to do this by explaining to each patient why an exercise or skill is necessary and the importance in pushing themselves a little harder. Patients should be taught the logic behind the exercises and the results they will obtain. By providing patients with the correct tools and guidance, I will be able to provide them with a positive experience. The science and rational of the therapy protocol will encourage patient
