My First Day

Today was my first day volunteering at Madison Spine and Physical Therapy. When I arrived, I was friendly welcomed by Lauren who is the head of the volunteering department. My first task was to fold pamphlets on Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain), which is caused when the plantar fascia is inflamed causing discomfort and pain. Through these pamphlets I learned exercises that can help relieve the pain which was helpful since I do have heel pain due to track. I also folded laundry and learned how to clean electrode pads which provide tiny electrical signals into the skin.
