ActivaPT: Sciatica & Back Pain Cost Relief

FAREWELL GRIFFIN & CASS

Farewell Griffin As one of the newer members of the Activa Physical Therapy team, I am saddened to have to head back to school and leave the team I’ve come to know and love over the course of the summer. When I started out in May, I was unsure if this job would be a good fit for me because I didn’t know as much as the other techs, or I wasn’t experienced enough to help the therapists. I quickly found that this was not the case at all. Samir, Matt, Amena, Alec, Daisy, Kevin, Cass, and Dilva all helped me make the most out of my summer at Activa. Under the guidance and leadership of Samir, Matt, and Amena I learned more about physical therapy as a profession and workplace flow than I had in 2 years of schooling, and with help from all the other techs I was able to develop skills that will continue to serve me in the future of my education and hopefully my career as a physical therapist. At the end of the summer looking back I can honestly say working at Activa I wasn’t just part of a team, I was part of a family. I’ll never forget the time I spent at Activa, and I’m thankful to have spent it with people that I can call close friends and family. I also want to say thank you to the patients I worked with who were patient with me in the beginning when I was still finding my footing in the clinic. It’s been an honor working with all the patients I did and I hope everyone can heal up quick and recover! Farewell Cass I learned a lot from the short time I worked there which I know will stick with me and aid my studies over these next couple years.The experience of working as a tech helped me gain more confidence with working with patients, PTs and other PT techs. Getting to know the many exercises will be extremely beneficial while continuing my education at SLU.
