Steemit Learning Challenge Application For Season 22 | Physical Therapy Intervention Course (Upper Extremity Disorders)

Greetings

---

I am here to apply for the Teaching Team of Steemit Challenge season 22. A great initiative by the Steemit team is that I can share a specific course about Physical Therapy Intervention in Upper Extremity in which I will share my experience and get a chance to get selected & share knowledge with you all by giving unique weekly lessons. I got a great response from users in the season 21 physical therapy intervention course, and they have learnt a lot.

The subject area I want to cover

This month again I am going to share my knowledge and experience about my field. As I am a medical final year student ( Doctor of Physical Therapy ) I have seen that a lot of people are suffering from different diseases in upper extremity like in sports, other professions related for which they need a physiotherapist that will guide them.

I will deliver a course on different diseases in the upper extremity, their background, signs & symptoms, and their physical therapy treatment. I will cover the common diseases that patients are suffering from; some of them don't know the treatment for those diseases or don't want to take physical therapy sessions with a physiotherapist.

The details of their experience in the subject area be it professional

By profession, I am a doctor (physiotherapist) in which I have to treat patients without any medication & surgery like MBBS doctors. I am in the final year of my doctorate, & In Sha Allah, after a few months, I will be holding my degree to officially announce it. I am doing my internship in the hospital to learn & improve my clinical skills as I want to be focused on clinical expertise then theoretical knowledge.

I have 3 years of experience in clinical knowledge. In our 2nd-year, clinical rotations start, and then we learn different exercises to treat specific conditions that are curable with physical therapy. I am also working in a clinic in the evening time to improve my clinical skills and treat different diseases to gain experience.

I joined Steemit in May 2021. I have completed 3 years & 6 months on Steemit. I have been active since I joined Steemit, following all the initiatives of the Steemit team, club, burnsteem25, engagement challenges & community curators. I worked as a moderator in different communities, but for now, I am the admin of Steem Fashion & style, Steem Physio & rehab and a mod in the CCS community.
