Meet Matt Mitchell, DPT Student at DOAR

Matt Mitchell, DPT Student at Danville Orthopedic & Athletic Rehab in Danville, VirginiaMatt Mitchell is a third year Doctor of Physical Therapy Student at Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is currently completing a 2 month clinical rotation at Danville Orthopedic & Athletic Rehab under the instruction of Eric Lackey, MPT. He is also spending time at our sister company, Center for Pediatric Therapies.

Matt previously completed two clinical rotations at White Oak Manor in Rock Hill, South Carolina and BenchMark Physical Therapy in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Prior to pursuing a career in physical therapy, Matt volunteered at Blacksburg Physical Therapy.  He holds a bachelors degree in Exercise, Sport, and Health Education from Radford University in Radford, Virginia. While a student at Radford, Matt was the assistant soccer coach at Blacksburg High School, and also volunteered at the Special Olympics.  Matt is a native of Blacksburg, Virginia.

Q: Why are you pursuing a career in physical therapy?

A: This is a profession that has always been close to me. I have been through physical
therapy treatments several times and just really thought a lot of all the people that
helped me recover. I like the interaction I can have with people every day, there is
never a dull moment in this profession, and I get help people improve their health.

Q: What role does the clinical rotation play in your physical therapy education?

A: Clinical rotations are very important to my education. It is an opportunity to interact with real patients, get hands on experience, learn different approaches to treatments, put our knowledge to work, practice manual skills, and allows me to be more comfortable in a real world situation.

Q: What were you looking for in a clinical instructor and clinical site?

A: I am in my third rotation right now and I think what I am looking for is an instructor that will give me some space to try my own strategies and approaches to treatments but at the same time I want to operate in accordance to how that clinic is run. I think it is important to be independent but also know when you make mistakes and the instructor helping you learn from those mistakes.

Q: What are your goals for your clinical rotation at Danville Orthopedic & Athletic Rehab?

A: My goals are to be independent with simple (one diagnosis) evaluations and treatment sessions; be cued less than 50% of the time during complex (multiple diagnoses) evaluations and treatment session; and learn different approaches to treatments. I also want to gain more knowledge of billing for patients that have Medicare and to gain more knowledge of health insurance policies and reimbursement in general.

Sam’s Physical Therapy Story

Sam was in a car accident in February that triggered a three month recovery process. Amazingly, this month Sam will be participating in the Walk for Angelman Syndrome in honor of one of his grandchildren who is affected by the syndrome.

Sam says,  “I was pretty well tore up! The worst part was I dislocated my hip. Actually, it was rotated 180 degrees.”

Sam underwent a hip replacement surgery, then was transferred from the hospital to Riverside Health & Rehab in Danville, Virginia for 20 days. After he was discharged home, he began outpatient physical therapy at DOAR East in Danville, Virginia. He worked with Joey Scearce, MPT; Cindi Mathena, PTA; and Raegan Clarke, ATC.

Sam’s physician warned him not to hold himself to the same standards as individuals who underwent elective hip replacement surgery. Because of the traumatic nature of his injury, Sam’s body had more to overcome.

Over the course of his recovery, Sam has progressed from a walker to a four-legged cane to a regular cane, to walking without any assistive device. Sam attributes his progress to his wife, his church, and his therapists. He says, “These therapists and the ones at Riverside were great. They put me through a lot of exercises. Some of them hurt, but I didn’t mind. No pain, no gain!”

Sam’s plan of treatment included exercises to strengthen and improve balance. Along the way, he says his milestones included “walking up steps, taking a shower, using the bathroom on my own, and dressing myself.”

His wife adds, “At first, he couldn’t bend more than 90 degress on that side, so he had a rough time for a while. As therapy helped him get stronger, he could do more and more.”

Although he has made remarkable progress so far, Sam is not done yet. He says, “I’m walking and I’m doing great, but still I’m not well yet. I can’t get on my tractor yet, and I like to mow the grass and work on my old barn sheds to keep them up. I can’t hold my grand-babies right now, and I’ve got three rowdy ones. I’m eager to get back to the way I was. I go to church all the time and we’re always doing something. I want to get back to doing my part and be involved.”

To reach these goals, Sam plans to continue his home exercise program and work on his farm. He is also training for the Walk for Angelman Syndrome, which is May 19, 2012 in Danville, Virginia. We invite you to join us in supporting his continued recovery by donating to Sam’s team at AngelmanSyndrome.org.
