My name is Noah Rohozinski and I am a Bond University student pursuing a Doctor of Physiotherapy. I am a caring and hardworking student interested in musculoskeletal outpatient and private practice physiotherapy. I have a solid skillset from my educational curriculum, clinical placements, and extra-curricular activities to properly assess and treat a variety of patients.
Bond Rugby + Physiofit clinic (22/1/24 - 23/2/2024) - Sports + Private Practice
Worked with adult rugby athletes consisting of senior men, women, and colts. Worked with sports related injuries and general musculoskeletal injuries. Applied strapping techniques (Low dye, lateral ankle, MCL, LCL, Patella tendon, Patella instability, knee extension, UCL, RCL, thumb, anterior shoulder instability). Also provided on-field assessment and treatment.
Mater Public Hospital (10/30/23 - 12/01/23) - Musculoskeletal
Worked with general MSK/post-acute orthopedic patients that were primarily adults (18+). Patient case load consisted of ACL reconstructions, post-op knee surgeries, knee osteoarthritis, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle pain, chronic low back pain, overuse injuries, rectus femoris tendinopathy, hamstring tendinopathy. I also had to work group therapy classes with persistent pain class 2x/week, GLAD osteoarthritis class 2x/week, and ACL rehabilitation class 1x/week.
Hervey Bay Hospital (07/17/23 - 08/18/23) - Paediatrics Outpatient

I also gained experience with the Child developmental services (CDS) team and worked with the neonatal clinic. I communicated with parents and children and worked together to create fun activities.
Gold Coast University Hospital (06/12/23 - 07/14/23) - Neurological
Worked with neurological patients such as strokes (Left hemisphere), traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, fall patients, spinal cord injuries, and paraplegic patients. I performed neurological assessments which looked at vision, proprioception, balance, coordination, range of motion, strength, and vestibular. For treatments, I made clinical reasoning tables and connected the treatment to my assessment and focused on progressing patients in an area that was important for discharge. I performed lots of functional task training and targeted interventions if I had the time. I prepared the environment and used to verbal/visual cues to help patients. I used gait belts for mobility and blocks, mirrors, mats, and cones for practicing neuroplasticity. I also discharge planned and gave home exercise programs for patients continuing.
St. Andrews War Memorial hospital (05/08/23 - 06/09/23) - Inpatient Orthopaedics
Worked with orthopedic surgeon patients. Total hip replacements, total + partial knee replacements, knee arthroscopies, knee revisions, ACL reconstructions, Ankle and foot surgeries, Shoulder replacements, Laminectomies.
