Movement is such a crucial part of life. From using our hands to brushing our teeth, to using our legs to walk to the car, and even to using our fingertips to punch the digital pins of our credit cards to purchase our groceries, movement is a voluntary part of life that we often take for granted. However, certain undesirable incidents happen in life that remind us of how important movement can be, such as accidents, paralysis, morphological defects, and even moments of pain. The independence that we possess when we can move is indispensable and the beautiful field of physical therapy (PT) seeks to restore this freedom. In this episode, we speak to freedom-restorer, Veronica Velasquez, who relays the stories of pain and victories inside people's homes.Receiving her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from California State University San Bernardino in 2016 to attaining her doctorate degree in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Western University of Health Sciences in 2019, Veronica now stands as a home health physical therapist after her journey in acute care. From the halls of the hospital to the living rooms of patients' homes, she seeks to give hope to those who have lost it.According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the PT profession seeks to "maximize the quality of life, [helping] people rehabilitate from devastating injuries manage chronic conditions, avoid surgery and prescription drugs, and create healthy habits." Join me as we hear the stories of rehabilitation and beautification of peoples' lives once more through Veronica's restoration of the ability to move.Livestream Air Date: October 20, 2021Veronica Velasquez: IG @thisptlifeFriends of Franz: IG @friendsoffranzpodChristian Franz (Host): IG @chrsfranz &amp; YT Christian Franz
