Day 2

Today in sports medicine and physical therapy we did the same thing as yesterday for 3 hours straight. We started in his office at 10 and finished at 2. Throughout this time he was examining his patients and helping them stretch. He used shock therapy, ultra sound, and heat to relief some of his patients stress or pain. After the process he told me to stretch the rest of his patients so i could get the hang of it. he said i did goodand the patients said they felt the stretch. The stretch i did is called a PNF stretch. That jus reliefs stress and helps them be more loose. A little before 3, he got his kit redy for the upcoming baseball game. He showed me everything he had and why he needed those things. After, we went to a baseball game he had to attend since he is the one that has to be available for injuries. Throughout the game he spoke to me on how the whole process in the field works. Then around the 5th inning a player from the opposing team twisted his ankle and he checked up on him. When he came back he explained to me what he did out there and the questions he asked the player. Then the game finished at 4 and my day was over. He just told me to go home and study the knee anatomy.
Total time: 12 hours.
