Let's Get Down To Business

...to defeat the Huns!

This Mulan quote explains exactly what I must do now.  Well, besides defeating the Huns part.  I am now feeling pretty confident with where I am with my researching and organizing the 4th section of my capstone paper.  I have not begun actually writing but I have a clear plan the research to accompany it.  It is time for me to get down to business and actually write this thing.  This weekend I plan to get a large chunk of my paper written.  This topic is very interesting to me so I will enjoy writing this paper.  I have talked with my supervisor at Children's and I have contacted my aunt and friend who are both physical therapists.  I am excited to get the opinions of the people actually in the field because I think that will be some of the best information I can get, because it will be very practical.  I have about 5 books from the library that I am referencing for this paper.  They are about an array of topics and I will choose some of the more pertinent sections of each book to read in depth.

This research is a lot of fun and very interesting still and I am learning so much.  Though because it is psychology and physical therapy, there are some claims from people that to me are hard to believe.  Here is a quote from a woman who did a Psycho-Physical Therapy workshop.
"This workshop I took on Saturday February 18th changed my life!! I became embodied in a different way during an exercise there and it has affected my body in how I walk! The physical therapist can’t explain the range of motion I now have in my injured hip since I have started relaxing my spine!! He doesn't think I need to see the orthopedist now!! Thanks Bill!!"
This sounds cool and everything, but I find it hard to believe completely.  This woman is saying one day of therapy has completely changed her life.  Maybe it is true and I am being too skeptical, but I want to find real practical solutions for everyone.  This the type of thing I am trying to sift through, to find the realistic options for psychology and physical therapy.   So I will now go get immersed in my paper and more research.  This should be fun!
