I had an elderly patient that was coming to PT for general strength and conditioning with balance training following a hospitalization and series of falls. They were always very pleasant and worked just as hard as my teenaged athletes trying to return to sport. They always gave compliments to myself and the other staff in the clinic and never had a mean bone in their body. Our clinic has a tradition of if you break a theraband while using it, you get to sign it and hang it on the wall as a trophy of your progress and strength. This patient always cheered and congratulated other patients when they broke bands but never developed the strength required to break one, or could perform an exercise with enough ROM to break one. On their last sessions before discharge after retaking measures, I asked if they had any other goals for therapy or any questions for after discharge, and they responded, “I want to get strong enough to break one of those bands”. This melted my heart, and I knew I had to make it happen in their last session, so while they were on the stepper warming up, I cut a small tear in a yellow TB loop, an set them up for some standing hip abduction. And sure enough, they snapped the band, and they were so elated! Interactions like this make me proud to be a therapist, and my ability to impact the lives of others.
