𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗬? | 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗧 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗬 ⭐

Before September and our celebration to honor the Physical Therapy profession comes to an end, let’s take one more moment to remember where every PT journey begins.

This World PT Day, we asked our KaPTids one simple question:

“𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮?”

Different reasons. Different stories. One profession that brought us all together. 🫂

As we continue our journey toward becoming physical therapists, may we never lose sight of the reason that brought us here in the first place.

Because Physical Therapy is more than movement and rehabilitation. It’s about helping people return to what they love, regain their independence, and live life to the fullest.

𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚—𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜.💚

From all of us at the OLFU–Valenzuela College of Physical Therapy, to every future PT and every PT who continues to make a difference,

𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗣𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗬! 🎉💚

‎Thank you for everyone who participated on our Cerebral Palsy Awareness Week PT Trivia Question! 🧠💚
‎
‎✅ Correct Answer:
‎𝗘. 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗖𝗣 — 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘂𝘀
‎
‎🩺 Whats the reason behind it?
‎
‎Ang matinding paninilaw (𝙟𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙚) sa isang bagong silang na sanggol ay maaring dulot ng pagkasira ng dugo sa katawan at siyang dahilan kaya ito ay naninilaw. Ang mataas na antas ng pagkasira ng dugo ay tinatawag na (𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙧𝙪𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙖) na kapag hindi maagapan at lalong lumala ay tatawaging 𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙨, isang uri ng pinsala sa utak.
‎
‎Kapag naapektuhan ang parte ng utak (𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙖) mareresulta ito sa tuloy tuloy, mabagal, at hirap sa pagkontrol ng katawan na tinatawag na dyskinetic o athetosis
‎
‎💡 Remember:
‎Rh incompatibility → matinding paninilaw (𝙟𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙚)→ Hindi naagapan na paninilaw (𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙨) → pinsala sa utak (𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙖) → dyskinetic/Athetoid Cerebral Palsy

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲: 𝗢𝗡! 📝

It’s that time of the semester again, and we know and feel the pressure, KaPTids. But we also know that you’ve been preparing through the long hours of reviewing, endless notes, and messy printouts. So, don’t strain yourself by overthinking— 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬! 💪

As you face your Preliminary Exams, take a deep breath, trust the preparation you’ve put in, and give your best shot at every exam. Not every question will be easy, and you may struggle along the way, but remember that all the studying you’re doing now will pay off in the end. 📖✨

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝘀:
• 💤 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩. You can retain more information when you’ve had enough rest.
• 📚 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬. Go over your highlighted notes and key points again.
• 🫁 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. Don’t let anxiety take over. You’re doing better than you think!
• 🖊️ 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥, 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. What matters most is that you show up and give it your best.
• 👀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲. Take your time and make sure you understand what is being asked.

Always remember that you’re not alone. The entire 𝐊𝐚𝐏𝐓𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 is here with you, cheering you on every step of the way. 🫶

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗞𝗮𝗣𝗧𝗶𝗱𝘀!🍀 You’re already one step closer to your dreams, and this examination is one of the many steps that will help you get there. May your brain remember everything you reviewed, may you understand what is being asked, and may your hard work reflect in the results you receive. ✨

𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻 ’𝘁𝗼, 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗧𝘀! Goodluckiesss again, KaPTids! 🩵📚

Cerebral Palsy is a 𝐍𝐎𝐍-𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 This means that the original brain injury or abnormal brain development does not worsen over time. However, a person’s physical symptoms, muscle stiffness, movement, and joint mobility may change as they grow and age.

Cerebral Palsy might shape how someone moves, but it doesn't limit how they dream. Join us in spreading awareness, support, inclusion, and understanding for individuals living with Cerebral Palsy.
