The other group that didn't go to the "school" went to a clinic in Pastores. Pastores is a small town outside of Antigua that is famous for its leather and boots. We passed at least 30 boot shops on our way to the clinic, with beautiful boots and other types of shoes on display.
We worked in the clinic seeing patients throughout the afternoon. Most of the patients had back and neck pain from their jobs, to which we provided education on proper workplace ergonomics and modifications that could be done to decrease these issues. We saw at least thirty patients this afternoon and it was an incredible experience to be able to help the communities of Pastores and others.
Hope you are enjoying following our trip!
