| Students from OU’s physical therapy program joined forces with the OU department of family medicine physicians to offer soft tissue manual therapy and post-run stretches at the Tulsa Run finish line, which happened on Halloween. OU physicians served as the referral source for the runners, and the students were supervised by OU physical therapy faculty. An estimated 6,000 runners participated in the event, with approximately 232 runners receiving relief following their 15 kilometer run around Tulsa. Third-year MPT students and second-year DPT students mentored first-year students in the care of the runners. Over 60 students from both the Oklahoma City and Tulsa campuses volunteered for the event. | |
