Final Adjustments
"...Take a deep breath." I then waited as my study partner dropped his weight on my upper body and we both felt the audible release of a vertebral segment that was misaligned. In no time the pain was gone and we moved on to continue our studies. As this was our last set of exams, we had the task of performing a full body evaluation and applying a specific treatment of our choice aimed to restore function. Since we were successful in treating each other in practice, our partners the next day had little to correct during the test. I think I am going to miss these little "corrective" sessions.
The thought of being finished with school is really exciting. It doesn't take long, however, to remind myself that as soon as this week is over, it will be time to dig deeper in preparation for board exams. (So much for having a vacation between school and rotations.) One thing is for sure, this experience has been so much better than I could have ever imagined. Sure, it has been difficult, but it continues to pique my interest and lift my thoughts to a better future.
