These are some pictures of my tapping and wrapping techniques I have learned in my lab. One picture is me tapping an ankle and the other two are of me tapping and wrapping an elbow. The purpose of tapping and wrapping is to restrict the motion of injured joints and support the injury.
For one of my assignments I had to bring someone from the career field in as a guest speaker. I had picked Kelly Kovacic, she is a Physical Therapist in Newton Falls. In this picture she was dry needling which helps with pain and also releasing or inactivating trigger points and tight muscle which helps improve range of motion. The second picture is a classmate’s guess speaker Lisa Lochowski a pro body builder.
This is the thank you letter that I wrote for Mrs.Kovacic who is shown in the picture above. She took time out of her day to come here to TCTC to tell my program about what she does as a Physical Therapist.
Both of these pictures represent me working with a partner or in a group designing workouts. The first picture was for average people middle age working office jobs or something not to active and the second picture was a single set work out which is just going around each station once.
YSU Junior Year
This picture is a teacher at YSU in the athletic training program explaining things about the class. We also taped ankles and were judged on how we did.
YSU LEADERSHIP LEARNING
In these pictures my classmates and I were learning leadership, communication and team bonding. The leader there said they could see how close we all were to begin so it was nice to grow closer. We even got to do the rock wall which is one of the biggest around here and we also did there high ropes course.
GRADES
ANATOMICAL POSITION SONG/DANCE
These are just a couple of my grades from my junior and senior year.
This video is a project we had to do over anatomical positions. I was part of a group for this assignment with a special guest appearance from our anatomy teacher, Mr.Ragozzino. Afterwards my senior classmates, juniors and some teachers voted on the videos and my group won two awards shown below.
