The first step of a resolute practitioner begins with "kindness".
"Enriched humanity and a kind heart" is our concept.
Physical Therapy is the significant specialized field of rehabilitation to reverse dysfunction of disabled people due to old age and children with congenital disability, to support them both physically and mentally, as well as helping their social reintegration and applying exercise therapy and physical procedure.
A physical therapist needs a good relationship with a patient's family and acquaintances as well as a patient him/herself in order to attain this aim. Therefore not only acquisition of knowledge or technique, but cultivation of enriched humanity to understand patient's emotional pain, tears and feelings and treat them with love is also a key learning point Occupational Therapy is served for people with mental and physical disabilities. Being involved with their daily life, a practitioner supports them to live by their own values not mere independence. Because it is necessary to be involved with all aspects of people, not just medical technology, the school concept of "enriched humanity and kindly heart" and "sociality" is required. Therapeutic use of occupation (activities) is applied in the treatment measures.
Occupation includes not only handcraft or art work, but also a range of activities in daily life such as change of clothes, bath, face-wash, work, play, walk, hobby and leisure. Mastering these activities and their successful use will be a great advantage to be an occupational therapist.
