They are a non-profit organization that was founded in late November of 2008, in affiliation with Project Walk in California. Since 2014, FSWC is now one of the only independent organizations within Canada to offer this type of therapy. The basis of their organization is to offer services to people in which are not receiving enough therapy within our healthcare system, while also offering a comfortable and enjoyable environment. Jordyn Bosley At FSWC, clients are assisted in regaining their function through intensive exercise-based rehabilitation programming, the usage of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), and/or the usage of the Therasuit Method. In the beginning of a fieldwork placement at FSWC, fieldwork students begin with assisting therapists with their client hours by providing lifts, retrieving and cleaning up equipment, as well as offering any other assistance a therapist needs during a session. As the fieldwork term progresses, fieldwork students assist in more ways as they take on individual client hours while still assisting the other therapists. This experience has been very beneficial for my professional and educational development. As my placement progressed, my knowledge and understanding of neurological and neuromuscular therapy increased which correlated in my confidence in executing skills progressing as well. Overuse Injuries in Exercise Therapists. My special project looks at the different overuse injuries therapists have endured. Through surveying the therapists and clients at First Steps Wellness Centre, I looked to see if there were any reoccurring injuries and the effects that these injuries had on their therapy hours. With the information I gathered, I could research ways to help alleviate them. “First Steps showed me that genuine connections and friendships are just as beneficial in a therapy setting as the therapy itself, for both the therapists and the clients.” Jacinta Mack “Don’t get caught up on yesterday; treat each new day as a new opportunity to learn and thrive.” Special Project Title: Is Our Healthcare System Enough? I wanted my special project to focus on the difficulties spinal cord patients experience with our healthcare system. It came to my attention early on that they slip through the cracks of our system because of lack of funding and lack of qualified individuals. By looking at research articles, interviewing current clients and other healthcare professionals, I decided to focus my project on bringing more awareness to this issue and suggesting a potential solution to these problems. Human Kinetics Fall 2019 4 Bachelor of Kinesiology “In developing practical experience coaching hockey professional athletes, I have accumulated the knowledge and ability to confidently design periodization philosophies, Daryl Chambers incorporate monitoring strategies, and have successfully developed my own coaching identity.” Calgary Flames Hockey Club Calgary, AB Yearly Training Plan. The special project included an extensive overview of the entire yearly training plan (YTP) for the Calgary Flames hockey team. The YTP involves a yearly and monthly periodized plan, evaluation of the regular season schedule, incorporated on-ice intensity and volume tracking data, and off-season and in-season training phases that aims to develop essential athletic attributes for on-ice performance. The Calgary Flames Hockey Club is a professional hockey team within the National Hockey League (NHL) that is located in Calgary, Alberta. The NHL employs and showcases the best hockey athletes in the world. Over the course of the fieldwork semester, my role was within the Strength & Conditioning department. The Strength & Conditioning staff are responsible for the development, training, and monitoring of the athletes on a daily basis to optimize on-ice performance. The experience that I have developed with the Calgary Flames has been instrumental in my development as an aspiring future Strength & Conditioning professional. By accumulating professional experience within the field, I have gained the confidence and knowledge in adequately training NHL athletes during the regular season to optimize on-ice performance.
