Another point I would like to make is I am not solely a tape company as are most of the big brands. This is why I am not pouring money into marketing like they are because I have other products to stock. I just want to sell a product that is comparable or better quality then the big three brands for less money. I give discounts for larger orders and I back my products 100%. There are a lot of options for kinesiology tape out there so I have one suggestion for you to think about before you make your next purchase. Don't get caught up in what looks cool because you're paying for that professional athlete and cool branding and not necessarily the best tape! I would love some feedback

]]>The point I am trying to get at is that I had this image in my head of this awful place to work! A place where all my skills will not being utilized and the case load does not fit my skill level. But I gave it a chance and It was the best move for me in many ways. Instead of feeling good about making an impinged shoulder better in a few visits I have possibly given a person a few more years of freedom to live at home instead of a LTC facility. I still see the occasional total joint which used to be one of my favorite diagnosis to treat and now I think it's boring. I love taking a 95 year old and putting them on some foam or the functional grid and making their balance better. Watching them go through the progressions and getting away from the wheelchair. Or taking a patient that has Lewy body dementia with severe burns to both feet with contractures in all toes that is W/C bound to walking with hand held assist over 300 feet within 2 months time. These are the things that give me gratification now. I love out patient and always will but I have to say it would be boring to me at this point to be honest. I love the challenge of figuring out a problem and making it better. I am always getting challenging patients in my building which keeps my mind stimulated and engaged in the profession. I have enjoyed the transition so much I wish I had done it sooner. We as therapist all want to make people better and be a hero to our patients. This can be done in any setting if you continue to be creative and skillful in your approach with every patient you treat. Don't make the mistake I made in letting your out patient arrogance stop you from making positive changes just because you feel it's below you to work in any other setting. Put your skills to the test and help those that need it most!
