Celaya, Gto., November 2, 2016.- With the purpose to have a space to talk on the latest trends on the research on physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as to promote the unity and spirit of the college identity, it was held the First Week of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, organized by students of the Division of Health Sciences and Engineering.

The project, as Rocio Silva Serrano explained, emerged from the subject of Leadership, taught by Lic. Viridiana Chaires. The organizing committee planned to include cultural, academic, exercise, suspense and sell activities. "One of the activities that required the most work –she mentioned—was making the program and match it with the time of our exposers, but at the end everything was excellent."

Throughout the journeys they shared four workshops: "Kinesiotape" (neuromuscular bandage), by the therapist Luis Antonio Gallardo Placita; "Hipopresivos" (posture and breathing exercises), by the therapist Alejandra Medellín; "Monitoring of critical patients in the ICU" by the therapist Miguel Ángel Martínez and "Early stimulation", by the therapist Mariana Gómez.

There were six conferences by specialists in the subject, among them, professors of the own campus, Juan Manuel Escalera Muñoz spoke about "Column hygiene"; Claudia Duran Romero explained on the "Psychomotricity"; Dr. Pedro Ybarra Barrera talked about the "Sport physiotherapy"; Dr. Jorge Carranza del Rio mentioned the "Classification of brain paralysis"; Dr. Maria Gisela Rodríguez Hernández spoke about the "Multisensorial room" and Dr. Luis Rodríguez Robles on the "Policies of health applied to physiotherapy."

To the activity summed more than 400 students of physical therapy and rehabilitation, students from Nutrition, Psychology, Nursing and public, while the workshops had an influx of more than 115 students. Among the recreational and cultural activities prepared, stood out a fitness evening, talent show, legends' tour, academic rally, day of the dead fair and movie afternoon.

For the student Rocio Silva and her classmates, the expectations were fulfilled and it was a great success, they keep a pleasant experience, since they are the first generation. "The effort and the organization was worth it, we hope that our classmates from the previous semesters continue this activity and turn it into a tradition, we had the fortune to open this space and it is up for the next generations to continue with it, I am happy with the results" she concluded.
