From time to time I need to remind myself, and our team, why we do what we do. The purpose of TCI is to train local people in developing nations, we call them rehabilitation promoters, to provide basic therapy services to people in their community. So why do we need to train rehabilitation promoters?

As a physical therapist, I know the importance of observation. Observation provides valuable information for questioning or testing when working with a person seeking physical therapy. Observation also helps me identify whether I’ve explained something well or I need to try again. Observation also reveals whether a certain exercise or treatment plan is helping or not. I can learn a lot through observation.
