Hello, my name is Jessica Bernaldo, and I am a 2nd year Physiotherapy student at LaTrobe University.
Part of our curriculum is a subject called Soft Tissue Management. This is the subject in which we learn to apply our knowledge of anatomy and physiology and learn the skills necessary to become competent physiotherapists.
In this subject we learn everything from dealing with patients, to identifying and treating the injury.
As this is obviously an incredibly large amount of information, I have decided to record my notes here (These can be found under the tab 'Weekly Log' and then under the specific week it was learnt).
As a part of our assessment we are required to upload video recordings of ourselves preforming 2 assessment skills and 2 treatment skills at both the beginning and end of our university semester, and reflect on our progress through a concept called SMART goals and SWOT analysis. This is so that the facilitators (and ourselves) can have visual and written proof that we are progressing and where there is room left for improvement.
These assessment pieces and the corresponding reflections can be found under the tab called 'Skills Diary'
