The plan when Luke and I started this clinic from scratch was to hold off on working with physical therapy students as part of their "clinical experience" until at least January 2011. We thought by this time we would have been able to grow our practice enough to have a steady stream of patients. Well, that was our plan until... we received a last minute phone call from a professor at Bradley University that coordinates their clinical education. One of their placements had fallen through at the eleventh hour and they knew Luke and I would be able to offer a great learning opportunity. I must say I was skeptical to accept knowing that our caseload was not full, but Luke talked me into in stating he would do most of the work.
So, it my pleasure to introduce the Rock Valley following to Danny Schroeder. He started with us last week and will be with us until September 3rd. He is currently in his second year of the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Bradley University. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Illinois where he also was a member of the baseball team. I am feeling a little sorry for him over the next several weeks because I am sure he will get roped into several department activities (like the picture I have included.) Danny was a willing model to update a couple of our common exercise handouts. Stay tune for what we will be having Danny do next.... (A)
