Hey everyone,
Just to recap I am doing to coop placements this semester, one at Barrie Kettlebell Club and one at The Chiropractic Clinic. I am enjoying both my coops and they both provide different learning experiences and give me different knowledge. At The Kettlebell Club it is much more hands on and I learn a lot through participating and generating new exercise variations for his class instead of his traditional ways to pull,press, squat, hinge, rotate, crawl etc. I also learn a lot through questions and just paying attention to each sequence of the class and how Shawn deals with his clients. The atmosphere is great and very welcoming. I have definitely been able to hit some goals from when i started as i get my ideas heard and put into play in classes, i also get to demo my exercises and gives me full control of the way i want the exercises executed. I also believe I will have a valuable contact afterwards, Shawn has been a pleasure to learn from and work with. Mark is the supervisor/Chiropractor I am shadowing and this is the coop where i am asking a ton of questions and challenging my thinking and making sure i understand certain concepts of the treatment process. I have a general idea as to what most clients need and where issues may lie based on certain symptoms and muscle tightness and soreness but this is the skill i want to practice most with Mark. I constantly am guessing and explaining my guess and usually have a good base to the solution there is just usually a piece that needs to be addressed that I am unsure of or forgetting but this has been coming along with more shadowing and more questions. Overall I feel i am getting a ton of valuable knowledge and exercises and am enjoying the process and people that coop has brought to me this semester. I also feel I am accomplishing all i set out to do in my coop experience
