He said without YT he wouldn't have done so well on vacation with all the stairs and walking in Italy. He said he really felt the difference. 🙂 Clients hips were tight. unable to bend elbows over head, but progress that he is now able to raise his arms overhead
Reflection and self-evaluation	Easing FA back into YT after vacation. Enjoyed him sharing and listening to his vacation stories. He really enjoyed himself with his wife.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session	Continue with Interception & proprioception Continue with strengthening and opening up his shoulders and hips and flexibility
