Physiotherapy onsite support for trail running race

Journal writing is a method that is used in promoting reflective thinking in health science and professionals in facilitating a connection between academic learning and clinical practice and also assisting students in exploring and changing their attitudes towards patients. We organized a trail running event at the country park where a thousand runners joined the race that was ten kilometers to a half marathon (Stevens, 218). Therefore, my company was invited to carry out physiotherapy services for the race whereby we set up our working station at the center just close to the finish line so that runners who injured themselves during the race could come for acute management and those who had inquiry on training and means of preventing injuries could also come for consultation.

Also, apart from our physio colleagues, we had also physiotherapy who were interested in sports and they gained more learning experiences outside the school (Cleary, 331). After setting up in the morning, we shared ideas with my colleagues on common injuries. Then I would pass the patient to the students for further management and advice if only the patient is involved in soft tissue injuries (Cleary, 332). If by chance the patients need more management for potential of fracture, instead of letting my students work on him, I will carefully discuss with the patient on what we found and the potential consequences of an unmanaged fracture, advise him to visit hospital straight and reinforcing him it is not embarrassing about accident but it is something that has happened to us quite often from our experience.
