Our fellow SLES student Andrew Le taught us about Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy is a branch of rehabilitative health that uses specially designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical abilities. He showed us examples of sprained ankles of levels 1-3. He gave us a small piece of paper with ankle stretches to reduce the chances of a sprain. While teaching us the role of an athletic trainer, which is to evaluate and diagnose many different hinderments on the spot, and telling us about all the benefits of physical therapy, such as reducing pain and swelling, he also gave us a fun time with people doing the stretches given on the piece of paper.
