Recommendation #1 from the new @NATA1950 Position Statement #EAPPS @nfl @ncaa @nfhs_org @natafoundation @bjsm_bjm

I wonder what kind of therapy they do there. #therapyassociation #hotpants #polejokes #poorsignage

The less unique you make your problems the more ways you can find to solve them.

@AdamMeakins How about patient education that the patient can be their own doctor when it comes to low back pain resolution?

More need to understand that low back pain is just like the common cold 🤧 They are both benign, self limiting, self resolving, reoccurring afflictions of the human race! They do NOT need any extensive medical assessment or treatment! They just need a little rest and TIME!

Summer workouts has people looking for hamstring strain prevention exercises. Here are some: #hamstring #exercise #lungejump

@SScarneoMiller @NATA1950 The last time I volunteered was at Philly. I try to volunteer each time I attend. Yes, 40 hours is a lot but you can volunteer the day before sessions start and then I always volunteered at presentations I wanted to attend any way. Great way to meet people too.

Can anyone help me understand? Most expensive member registration option is $495/40hr= $12.37/hr. So the @NATA1950 values AT time at $12.37? Also, 15 CEUs in person but have to work 40 hours to get it covered. How do these volunteers get CEUs? I have to be missing something?

@rogerses2 @NATA1950 I believe acknowledging the concerns is a good first step. They also put that they will "implement measures" to make all members and attendees feel welcome at Orlando and future events.

@ATLB22 @NATA1950 But did they do anything about the concerns? No, just join virtually if you don't feel comfortable going. Not we're unable to change this location but going forward we will find locations that are safe for of ALL of our members.

Thank you @NATA1950 for putting out this member statement and recognizing concerns of the membership. nata.org/nata-now/artic…

@AdamMGrant If they send large memes is it called stoning?

Sending memes, links, and videos to others isn't trivial. It signals that you're thinking of them and want them to share your joy. It's known as pebbling, based on penguins gifting pebbles to potential partners. Pebbling is an act of care. Every pebble is a bid for connection.

Fun conversation regarding khaki shorts vs khaki pants on tonight’s livestream. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best) what would you rate khaki shorts? What would you rate khaki pants. My ratings: shorts (8.5) and pants (5).

I am surprised by the amount of information at Nutrition.gov There is even a whole presentation on eating when injured. Who doesn't like a grilled cheese. Vitamin A might be the most challenging nutrient to include in meals compared to zinc and vitamin C. #Nutrition

@hormonedietdoc I am getting chickens.

If you tolerate #eggs, perhaps natures perfect superfood, some where between 9 & 25 a week is a good number of these delicious powerhouse of #Choline, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, copper, iron, #magnesium, manganese, selenium & zinc #LCHPMF How many do you eat a week ?

@BrendanThompsn Internal vs external focus.

Intent is what’s missing in most training sessions these days It doesn’t matter if it’s the warm up I don’t care if it’s some drill you’ve done 100 times Not concerned if it’s easy Your intention being high while going through it changes everything I’m not saying to go all out in warm ups, drills, every rep, etc That’s intensity Intent is the focus and energy you bring to do things the right way to keep the quality of everything you do high Your muscle memory is always at work, even on the poorly executed drills and lazy reps Stay dialed in. Stay focused. And find a way to keep intent up throughout every workout and training session!

@TDekkersPhysio Nice thread. In these pictures and most likely in the study there is probably a correlation to body composition and back pain. How much do we education patients on body composition while we are teaching new postural patterns?

Does Posture matter in Low Back Pain? YES. Here's a 🧵why ...

@Bill_Vicenzino @AdamMeakins "Complex Pain Response Of Readily Unidentified Root Onset Kind" For short "CPR OR U R OK"

The term ‘acute non-specific low back pain’ is often misunderstood and misrepresented by many patients and clinicians alike! So lets take a look at what this diagnosis actually means and try to clear a few things up! A short evidence based thread 👇

@chad_star Awesome data. Do you also have a breakdown by setting?

626 FT jobs have been posted in the NATA Career Center. There is a statistically significant diff between salaries posted for BS, MS, and Doc deg. Jobs requiring 5 yrs are the highest. Jobs requiring 1 yr exp are higher than 0 yr. athletictrainingdata.com #AthleticTraining

@awigington_atc The education would be directed at the parent, explaining that the physician might be suggesting a "fix" that may limit the ankle causing issues elsewhere. Sometimes I offer a non-rigid taping and some active warmup/balance movements in these cases.

Was asked by a parent to tape an 8 year old’s ankle for tendinitis at a kids’ soccer camp today… Sometimes no is an acceptable answer. No 8 year old with tendinitis needs an ankle tape. Why are we (MDs, ATs, PTs, etc) promoting “fixes” like this for extremely young children?

@BrendanThompsn Recover for work instead of only recovering from work.

@erinbearhart Do it. You students and your patience/patients will thank you. There are tools to encourage meaningful conversations. Remember it is okay to complete mock cases to skills/ conditions they don't see. Also you will be a master so that's cool.

Has anyone complete the Master Preceptor Level programs on NATA? They seem intriguing and I’m also about to start a new job where I will be serving as a preceptor (previously only had kines interns) so wanted to see if it would add value to my abilities to serve AT students. TIA!
