My Rhetorical Analysis

"Physical Therapy" for the body
By: Brent Dodge
Professional instructor/PT: Roger Gonzales Hibner



Professional instructor Roger Gonzales Hibner used to a be a former renowned dancer who is now a nationaly recognized Pilates master instructor. He is setting up a program called Pilates which is "a system of excercises that promote the strenghthening of the body, often using specialized equipment." He studied that its good for the human body maintain on a good excercise, so that the body will not get weak. Such as sitting down all day doing nothing you muscles, tendons and bones become not as strong as they should be if you excercise. He listed the pro's and con's on how doing physical therapy/pilates is good and bad for the body.


The good things about participating in these programs are that you will increase muscle strength, stability, the tendons will be much more stronger, less chances of getting injured while doing a activity and you will also stay healthy for a longer period of time. There is nothing bad about doing physical therapy because it is actually healthy for your body as time goes by. The things that can happen if you dont excercise or anything, muscles can become really weak, soft, bones can get brittle, more chances of tearing something because your body isn't used to the impact onto what you are doing for an activity. Today there are a lot of people that are doing therapy because they want to stay healthy for a longer period of time, instead of reaching the age 70+ and having a hard time walking. They will do all the excercise they can right now so they will not have that problem in the future.

I have had a lot of experiences on doing physical therapy, but only due to injuries. If you play a sport it would be fine because your doing all the excercise in the games and mostly practices. I have noticed many things about my body after doing therapy doing therapy. For my knee, I have to do therapy because I dislocated my knee cap and stretched out the ACL. Doing therapy it will make the muscles around the patella a lot stronger, make the ACL back to its normal width and most of all it will prevent it from happening again in the future. My opinion about this is people should do some therapy/pilates for the body because it will be much more easier for you in life for doing things, also you will stay healthy for a much longer period of time.

I think that Roger Gonzales Hibner is trying to do is, trying to convince people to join his program so that you can maintain on having a healthy body. Having less chances of getting injured and even staying a lot more healthy than possible when you reach an older age in life, I really think that people should follow onto what he is saying because it's worth doing. For your life what would you want, be healthy, less chances on getting injured, and staying healthy when you get old or not be healthy, get injured very easily, when get older in life have many problems such as back problems and not being able to walk. You should think about it because you only have one life you should make the best of it.
