I love the challenge of making physical therapy sessions feel less like “treatment”. I have a patient who has difficulty with standing endurance and breathing correctly. He needs activity to gradually increase and it feels much more difficult if he is acutely aware of the timer running while working on the standing.
His eyes light up when he talks about cars. I found Ford’s new app that allows you to choose between various options for the hood, spoilers, roof designs…etc. as you build your own 2014 Mustang. I had him work his postural muscle endurance as I helped him select the different options for his Mustang on the app. He became lost in the designing and forgot the growing fatigue in his muscles.
