Activities	Check in: self reported - client has medium energy. Client was able to sit and stand but with some effort but at the end of class, noticed the client was more fluid as he got up. Philosophy - I read him a Thich Nhat Hanh quote “The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.” I explained how often do we let the mind pull us away—dwelling in the past or rushing toward the future? Our thoughts take us everywhere except where life is actually happening: right here, right now. Can he be present, especially for today's class.

Hands/arms up and down breathing count of 5, open and close arms count for 5 Rolling shoulder Arms over head - count of 5 Neck movements Rolling wrists - web, claw, beak, paw Flexion and extension of the wrist Opening and closing of the fingers Leg lifts, leg extensions Squeeze ball between thighs Foot on towel. towel slides to open hips seated cat/cows seated cobra Bicep curls with exercise band 10x 3 sets chest movements with a resistance band Seated relaxation, yoga nidra
Client/Group progress summary	We did not do any standing/wall movements. Client requested the class to be seated today.
Reflection and self-evaluation	this session was a great reminder of how consistency and taking it slow leads to noticeable small changes. The client is more stronger and able to get up and down from the chair with less pain and more ease.
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 to try more standing movements with the wall and chair as support Continue to add on more strengthening movements.
