Getting his start
Kirby Cook of Blyth, a student at Central Huron Secondary
School, is working with Glassier’s Physiotherapy Clinic in
Wingham as part of the school’s co-operative education
program. (Photo submitted)
Local student writesabout co-op placement
By Kirby Cook
For me, Glassier Physiotherapy is
the place to be. I love my co-op
because I am able to learn, observe
and do things in the field I want to
go into.
One thing I really enjoy is getting
to meet new people every day and
interacting with them on a more
personal level. I love to hear all the
stories that the patients have and
their thoughts and opinions on
different subjects. My favourite part
of my placement is working side by
side with my employers Bill, Mark,
Heather and Julie. They make my
time there well worth it. They allow
me to do all sorts of things
independently such as ultrasounds,
setting up and turning on the
interferential current machines and
directing exercises and stretches
with patients.
I really like it when there are four
or more people in at a time. I am
always given full responsibility to
work with patients by myself on
exercises and stretches and
sometimes I get to work with two or
more at a time. My placement is also
very beneficial to me because I get
to learn about all the parts of the
body and have first-class
professionals by my side to teach
me.
In the fall of 2012, I plan on
attending university for athletic
therapy and before my time at
Glassier’s I never would have
thought I would be going down this
road. The best part of my co-op is
seeing the smiles on everyone’s
faces as they leave the building and
knowing that I contributed to
helping them improve and feel
better so they can comfortably go on
with their day.
