VOICE of current students

I am also studying physical therapy in the field of sports.

Physical therapy department 3rd year Shimane / Hamada high school graduate
Futo Oda

During my junior high and high school club activities, I had a lot of injuries and there was a period when I couldn't play in games. I wanted to become a physical therapist because I wanted to help people who were suffering from injuries in the same way. In addition to studying the compulsory subjects, I also take the "Athlete Support Practical Course" and am working hard to study physical therapy in the field of sports. In this course, you can put the knowledge and techniques you have learned into practical experience, such as taping local athletes, so it is a lot of fun and fulfilling.

You can study slowly in the 4-year system.

Physical therapy department 3rd year Shimane prefecture / Gotsu high school graduate
Haruna Yoshioka

When I was a junior high school student, I started going to rehabilitation, and the "physical therapist" in charge not only treated me for my injuries, but also gave me mental care for my anxiety. That's how I became interested in "Physical Therapist", and while I was doing my own research, I came to think that I wanted to become a "Physical Therapist". I participated in the open campus, and my seniors told me about this school in detail, and I decided to go on to school. "Rehabilitation College Shimane" is a four-year system, so you can study slowly. In addition to classes, I also attend the "Athlete Support Practical Course" and strive to acquire more knowledge and skills every day.

Department of Physical Therapy Graduated in March 2021 (from Meisei High School, Shimane Prefecture)
physical therapistKumagai Jellyfish

I also liked sports, so I became interested in "physical therapists" who approach injured people from a rehabilitation perspective. "Rehabilitation College Shimane" is an environment where I can concentrate on my studies, and the teachers are very kind and considerate of each student, which is very reassuring. Currently, I work in a convalescent ward and am in charge of rehabilitation to improve physical function and daily activities for returning home and social reintegration. By actually visiting the patient's home and asking about their living conditions, we discuss rehabilitation programs and future approaches to achieving goals with other professionals. I feel very rewarding when the patient's walking ability and daily living ability have improved and he expresses his gratitude at the time of discharge. Even after I get a job, I still study every day, but I think that working in the medical field, including physical therapists, is a very attractive job where you can learn a lot while interacting with people.
