As in the begging she has introduce how health care system works in Canada. She has given the information regarding to insurance policy and how it correlates with the clinic.
First few days, we observed the assessment and treatment sessions given by her. Then, she also explained each case and their progression.
She taught us how to interpret the x-ray and MRI, EMG reports.
We have learnt things like ROM, MMT and diagnose tests.
She taught us new techniques like tapping, manipulation and mobilisation. She taught us how to communicate with the patients and make the professional relationship.
Every 3rd day we are providing the progression report to the supervisor. She give the suggestion of new exercises and electrotherapy treatment.
Whatever question we have during the session she provide us the answer along with the justification of the particular treatment.
Orthotics and Prosthesis are the most new able things I have learnt like How to take the measurement of boot size and shape of each foot and according to the condition and specific requirement provide the shoes.
I found each and every day challenging and learnt something new that will help me in my future endeavour. Provide a personal statement on what you value as the most important aspect of the internship. Discuss the importance of services/products as supplied by your employer and how they relate to the study of kinesiology and material learned in the Kinesiology program.

The most important aspect of the internship I learnt is regarding to prosthetics. I never knew that physiotherapy can cause miracles by just providing the correct size and shape shoes. That gives almost half job done. As it relieve the pressure on weight bearing area of injured leg. Along with it require basic knowledge of Anatomy, Bio mechanics and Kinesiology. Providing prosthetics to the patient is rare. So, that providing the edge compare to the other clinic in Mississauga.
