Dept. of Physical Therapy’s “Walking with the Gods: Brave Feet Protection Team” Receives Acclaim for Pilgrimage Support
大甲妈祖遶境活动于4月17日展开。经学务处课指组、物理治疗系学会与运动防护志工队共同组成「与神同行勇脚防护队」，于4月18日在台中市大肚区提供防护服务。前来接受服务的香客超过300人，年龄介于10至88岁之间，虽然进香行程仅开始大约30公里，但其中三分之一以上反应因为长时间行走小腿酸痛，学生志工赶紧为他们贴扎防护，香客们纷纷致谢。
The Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage commenced on April 17. Organized jointly by the Extracurricular Activities Guidance Section of the Office of Student Affairs, the Physical Therapy Student Association, and the Athletic Training Volunteer Team, the “Walking with the Gods: Brave Feet Protection Team” provided professional care services in Dadu District, Taichung City, on April 18. The team served over 300 pilgrims ranging in age from 10 to 88. Although the pilgrimage had only covered about 30 kilometers at that point, over one-third of the participants reported calf soreness due to prolonged walking. Student volunteers promptly provided taping and protective care, earning widespread gratitude from the pilgrims.
