Personal stretch (area of growth) I need to better understand how the body recovers after injury or
surgery and how different exercises affect the body. In addition,
practicing for my Pride presentation will aid my communication
skills so I do not freeze up in front of an audience.

Product Description: I will have 2 different aged patients, myself and my grandfather, who have
the same injuries. My grandfather will demonstrate exercises to benefit rotator cuff surgery. I will
create and print out original exercise plans for the judges to see what will help benefit the patient's
recovery process.
