<p>My sister is 16. She was paralyzed in an accident, she’s very thin, she can’t use her hands or roll over, and she has to be diapered mainly because she can’t control herself. She’s still in the hospital but will be coming home soon. What are some good physical therapy exercises or massages to do on her that can reduce the risk of bedsores? She’s quadriplegic, I want to help do physical therapy on her daily when she gets home.
the key to prevention of bed sores is frequent pressure relief. She should have a good skin relieving cushion in her wheelchair and potentially a quality mattress with skin relieving features. Her PT and dme people can recommend specifics. In bed, she should be repositioned every 2 hours.

There are two official bridge programs: one in Ohio and one in California…however, the requirements are still usually that you have a BS degree and the prerequisites that you did not get as a PTA. Therefore, you’d still have to go back to college to earn a BS degree first and then go to graduate school. For the most part, it doesn’t save you any time to be a PTA first. The only real advantage of the bridge programs is that they can be done on a part time/weekend format basis. That, and considering that there are only two programs, those making the transition usually wind up in a traditional PT program. So if you go to PTA school first, expect to spend at least an additional 6 years to become a PT after that. It’s a very difficult transition unless you work on a BS degree concurrently with your AS degree.

<p>Ok, Hi! I’m almost seventeen and I’ve been thinking really hard about what occupation I want to pursue. I find the body (bones, muscles, nerves) very fascinating and very fun to learn about so I decided I want to become a Physical Therapist. I wanted to know this: if you go to school to become a Physical Therapist, are there different types of physical therapists that you could become? Like, is there such thing as a Physical Therapist that only specializes in Sports Medicine? Or do you have to learn it all?
It’s always best to learn it all, because it makes you more employable. Whatever the job is, you’ll be able to do it. To get experience you may have to take a job in occupational therapy or physical therapy, but over time you’ll be able to do all three. OT and PT are superhot careers now, as are most healthcare related endeavours. It pays very well too. Good choice.

The Journey
We begin with “The Journey,” an insightful program that includes hopeful one on one interviews and a unique window into patients lives from amputation, through rehabilitation and to recovery. “The Journey” is a great tool for helping new amputees.
