Student Therapy
We would like to give a big shout out to the University of Utah Physical Therapy Students who we are working with. They are so encouraging and helpful with Lidia’s recovery.
We were challenged by the students to get on the treadmill everyday with some specific goals. They wanted us to do 10 sets of 1 minute at .6 or .7 mph, taking 30 second breaks in between. We started with a resting heart rate of 69 bpm with a goal to get in between 90 and 100 bpm while on the treadmill.

It has been great working with the students. We look forward to every semester when we get to participate in their growth as physical and occupational therapists. They’ve helped us so much with Lidia’s recovery as well. Each student gives a different perspective and we learn as they learn. Thank you.
