Sitting Tall (Studying Hard)

i had an encounter with my future today!

i was in office max making copies of the brachial plexus and was questioned about the illustration by a customer

I told him I was in PT school.

the older East Indian looking man inquired about my studies seeking advise about some discomfort he was having in the back of his legs/thigh region.

even though my education is in its early phase I was called upon by the community to assist in helping out. i offered my free consultation which included asking about the chair he usually sits in at home before feeling discomfort... I questioned him about the seat's depth, specifically b/c he has having soreness in the back of his thigh. lo and behold, he confirmed that when sitting near the back of the chair, he felt discomfort, but when he sat at the end of the chair he felt fine. he also said he sleeps in the chair (at the back of the chair) and feels discomfort when he wakes up.

interestingly, I learned about such discomfort when fitting patients for wheel chairs...
how interesting that I was tested in a real life situation and was able to use my limited knowledge to potentially confirm some symptoms and or causation!

I've got a while...and a long green mile to go, but I'm on my way!

2points for learning!
