A brief Essay, from a large way.

Physichal therapy is a career releated with the life, and its movement. Too, this career is a science, a science about the movement (not just the humans) in this career you want know every step, and with every step you create the walk of the life, the walk of the humans, and the walk of every animal in this earth. But when you have so much doubts ("When you more learn something, more doubts you'll have"), you understand that the life don't exist just in the present, We, the Homo sapiens and the Homo neanderthalensis have understood the importance of the death in the future, because every death have a history, a hystory that reveal the growth this structures, this strange thing called "life". That idea is vital when you want understand a common pathology, in our chase, for understand the lumbago, beacause that say us that the evolution never stop and the problem could be the expression of a process, a biological process in this russian roulette, and that is an area that i want talk and work, the Phisical Therapy with an evolutive look, because our history could give us the tools for understand discomforts that neither the energy (Oriental culture) nor the medicaments (Occidental culture) could heal.

The tools in this Evolutive Physical Therapy (EPT)* are the know about the properties of the tissues, the biomechanical of them (on a hand) and the Physical Anthropology ( the another), using the science for bring to the present the past reading the signs made by the time. And with that hands working sinchronously can bring us this way of understand a lot of pathologies, and with the cause of the problem, we can create better treatments.

The Tissues can be studied by three ways (in general), one way is use an analysis of movement (just like muybridge)and create a virtual representation of that, giving you a knowledge about the space that use in the movement. Another way is study the reaction of the object, to the stress using (the most common forces) compressive force and tractions. And finally, simulate the movement for understand the pattern in the biomechanical of the tissue.

And the Physic, in the anthropology you can study thje biology with a lot of ways, using nuclear reactions for see the expressions of the could of electrons. The sicences releated with this are the ontogen, the somatology, the ecology, learning about the cultures or the habits and discovering pieces of the past.

That sciences is what I want use, for example you can understand tha high estomachal cancer in Chile, for the food that we have ate since a lot of years ago, so the treatment isn't give medicaments for the cancer, the treatment going to be abouit the foof and the habits. And the most common example is the lumbago, the lumbar ashes, and the cause of this is a evolution not adapted yet, because we are inside the evolution and we are working inside the problem, and the solutions wil come when the sacro have an ortograde position, decreassing the problems around the 4th and the 5th lumbar nerve. With this idea i think that we can create a way of work with the past and the future, for make a better future, not increassing the life, the idea is Increasse the quality of the life.


Using the technology for our quality of life, not against it, like ever.




*EPT doesn't exist, is a word created by me, but every area exist, the idea of the EPT is amalgamate it.

Post # 11: Challenges in your discipline.

I think that in Chile we need to improve a lot of things to make better physical therapiests, not for be better than other countries, the important thing is improve the career, for improve the professionals and then, improve the health of this country.

On a Hand, in Chile exist a big problem about the salaries and the statal investment, the dirty money put us its feets on our heads, and that is a real reform that its necessary, not just in the Physical Therapy, in the statal hospitals. But in the exclusive area of Physical Therapy, i think that we need mor time for the treatment, time for follow the reparation of them problems, and have the oportunity of make a better work, decreassing the morbility in the muscleskeletical area. And that idea isn't so utopic, I think that more efficient professionals could make work more in the same time, work and make better the life of a lot of patients, but

How?

Well, that's the challenge, improve the deducation of Physical therapiests, who learn since first year in them university the value of the career, and the importance that they'll have in the future, a future not so far... That is the principal reform to make in this country, the same idea ( like the last post) about make changes with a looking in the long-term, a vision that just a few
have in this country, the Capitalism is Capitalizingf us!
And work in theresearchs, Chile is very poor in the context of the Physical Therapiests's research, we need make better treatment, but we need national research for have a scientific foundation, that guarantee us and with taht, discover another things, maybe another pathology or change milenaries treatment for another more efficient.

On the other hand, we have to teach and teach once and once time again social values, like the altruism, or just improve the empathy in chilean's Physical therapiests, because they're going to work (maybe) with patients for years and years, and one time they could have rich patients, poor patients, homosexual patients, murder patients and they must help them, not for the rule of hypocrates, because they're person, a person who made mistakes (muerder) and you don't know how could be him later, maybe he can help your life, and because and that is their life, you aren't a judge who choose who must be good or bad, you're a man or a woman who learn something calls Physical therapy, and that value must be so much higher for have a better treatment.

And Finally ( because i don't have more hands), I think that we can improve the chilean medicine, this occidental medicine mixing the oriental medicine, a medicine more holistic, which work with pathologies and with people, a perfect complement, which could work very good in american countries (at last).



Ok, see you later!

Post # 10: Improving your faculty

This faculty?
It's a great place, a big building with a lot of historic importance, for its students, its professors, and all the voices listened and researchs made in this places, this university have an amazing intelectual world, but we need more places for make real that dreams, avant-gard laboratories for avan-gard researchs, and better places for study the health, we have a lot of clinic campus but not all are the best pl.aces for our patients, better machines, better technologies from client service to technical workshop in this faculty. On the other hand, this faculty needs a harder work on our personal and ethics values, i know that we have the vocation, but that's isn't enough, we must work it for make better health professionals, and more critical person ( value that in this society isn't so important).

I think so that if we start improving the places of the faculty, increassing the numbers of the classrooms ( the learning isn't only with class, is doing parallel activities, like seminaries, activities, questioning sessions or just more practical hours, with a lot a mental work, i think that working in the building, we give the possibility to the students and professors, improving the learning, and that going to give us better health professionals, who going to work in a lot of places, improving the quality of the medical institutions, hospitals and clinics, that could give us more money for the work in the classrooms ( it's important, not forget that we are a statal university, and the state give us money, money that we have use eficiently, for keep our quality and make changes improving and never decreassing a side for make better other side), and making that places, we'll have better students, better health professionals, better places to work it, and then we can improve the clinical campus with our money and our knowledge.

The impacts of our improving process, of course is the health of chilean population, making a health efficient, of high quality, fats, more human, with less mortality, and above all, making better the quality of the everypatient of Chile at last, and well, a good health, give you more chances for have a better life.
