00:00.519 --> 00:01.519
People .

00:05.510 --> 00:07.677
The army's fitness culture has changed

00:07.677 --> 00:10.760
a lot . Uh We used to just run push ups ,

00:10.770 --> 00:12.714
sit ups . There was no really like

00:12.714 --> 00:14.881
dynamic , um , workouts , there was no

00:14.881 --> 00:17.048
recovery workouts . There wasn't a lot

00:17.048 --> 00:19.469
of pre hab or focusing on preventing

00:19.479 --> 00:21.701
injury . It was just kind of a go go go

00:21.701 --> 00:23.701
all the time . And now that we have

00:23.701 --> 00:25.868
that input from the experts , like our

00:25.868 --> 00:27.979
strength and conditioning coaches and

00:27.979 --> 00:29.979
having medical team on site all the

00:29.979 --> 00:32.090
time , it's really changed to um more

00:32.090 --> 00:33.979
of a whole fitness , a functional

00:33.979 --> 00:35.979
fitness to make people , you know ,

00:35.979 --> 00:38.090
aware of what's , what they should be

00:38.090 --> 00:37.551
doing , what they shouldn't be doing

00:37.562 --> 00:39.673
and timing of everything to make sure

00:39.673 --> 00:41.895
that we are , you know , training , but

00:41.895 --> 00:44.006
also being healthy at the same time .

00:44.006 --> 00:46.173
One thing that I love about ot is that

00:46.173 --> 00:48.812
our scope of practice is so vast ,

00:48.841 --> 00:51.063
right ? A lot of people don't know what

00:51.063 --> 00:53.301
OTs do because we just do it all . And

00:53.312 --> 00:55.771
I love the fact that H two F really is

00:55.782 --> 00:57.782
a challenging kind of setting , but

00:57.984 --> 01:00.333
really he has us use all of our skills

01:00.344 --> 01:02.344
that we learn . Like a lot of times

01:02.344 --> 01:04.511
you'll hear people say they get burned

01:04.511 --> 01:06.566
out because they're pigeonholed into

01:06.566 --> 01:08.677
just doing upper extremity or they're

01:08.677 --> 01:10.844
just doing neuro or they're just doing

01:10.844 --> 01:10.174
peas . If they decided to go down that

01:10.183 --> 01:13.124
route , H two F does everything . Um as

01:13.134 --> 01:15.301
occupational therapist , I am the lead

01:15.301 --> 01:17.412
for the mental and the sleep pillar ,

01:17.412 --> 01:19.356
but then I also do upper extremity

01:19.356 --> 01:21.578
rehab . Um And then I also run the TB I

01:21.578 --> 01:23.578
clinic . So I am using almost every

01:23.578 --> 01:26.865
skill possible . A lot of the um skills

01:26.875 --> 01:28.931
that soldiers need here , especially

01:28.931 --> 01:30.986
the junior population are the things

01:30.986 --> 01:33.097
that are foundational to occupational

01:33.097 --> 01:35.042
therapy . Um And that's basic life

01:35.042 --> 01:36.865
skills . So it falls within our

01:36.875 --> 01:39.208
practice domain and framework perfectly .

01:39.335 --> 01:41.557
And I will say you will never get bored

01:41.557 --> 01:43.716
every day is completely different and

01:43.725 --> 01:45.905
you are constantly having to push

01:45.916 --> 01:48.138
yourself to learn new information . And

01:48.138 --> 01:50.360
as a lifetime learner , like there's no

01:50.360 --> 01:50.536
better position than here .
