Blog Post #7 Update

As I am coming to the end of my project, I am extremely excited for the final product.  I have been keeping a lot of statistics that many people don’t know about, anywhere from what kind of occupations have the most issues/pain, what things are people doing at home to try and cure, how much sleep are they getting, progress on the whole issue.  I have been keeping these stats ever since the first time I shadowed so my information is accurate and thorough.  A little sneak peak is that out of the 44 patients I have seen, 8 have been Dentists!  This was the most occurring occupation and they were all for the same problem, lower back!  One patient came in the other day and had the same arm issues I had a few months ago and he recieved the same return to throwing program.
