I can’t imagine a Therapeutic Exercise course NOT including barbells! We were extra lucky to have @Lentini_PT join us! 👍🏼

@DallasLoveField @swav8tr Yep, they don’t care. @CityOfDallas Sorry; feel for you @DallasLoveField!

@swav8tr Hi Mike, we understand that construction can be frustrating. This project is from the City of Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works. If you have any thoughts or concerns, please consider contacting them: bit.ly/4oa3Zsd

Planning to fly out of DAL? Allow extra time for your drive, as construction is affecting Mockingbird Lane, Cedar Springs Road, Lemmon Avenue, and Denton Drive with lane reductions and closures expected for the next few months. 🚧 For more info, visit: bit.ly/4gXsvKU

@DallasLoveField Absolute disaster! @CityOfDallas

@ptreviewer CAPTE should instead require robust faculty mentoring programs that foster teaching excellence. While having a terminal academic degrees provides one with the experience and knowledge for scholarly output, it may not translate to best teaching practices in the classroom.

Avoiding the nocebo in the post-op accessories. Well done, Doc @hjluks 👌🏻💯

@GregLehman @Lentini_PT There might be some good stuff dropped here for us! 💣

Does anyone know of a comprehensive guide to MSK masqueraders or conditions Physios Absolutely need to refer out. That’s where I think our diagnosis is important. Not for the things we can help with but the things we can’t.

Doctors are only as good as the information they have before making a medical decision. But EMR’s overload us with unnecessary info and scatter pertinent information - making it time-consuming or nearly impossible to find. (Thanks @subhaairan for naming these problems)

@GregLehman Any UE involvement? I see lots of CIDP in the hospital appear similar to this presentation/gait. Would also want to r/o even more serious NM pathology like ALS, or CMT like others mentioned, or some other sort of multi-focal motor neuropathy… good catch.

Can I get some thoughts on causes of bilateral calf atrophy. Unable to calf raise, poor 1 leg balance with eyes closed. Has seen a neurologist but no diagnosis or concerns. I’ve sent them back to their MD for another opinion. Also very weak R. Dorsiflexion. With consent.

Today definitely didn’t turn out as intended, and I owe the @APTAcvp Specialty Council big time, but I have to say @APTAtweets @TripEasyTravel @ITS_TravelTech was absolutely incredible in somehow getting me back home by tonight! Amazing service. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Yes, you will! So exited to soon have a another bunch of bright colleagues ready to support our communities and tackle chronic, preventable diseases, and more!

@UNTHSCDPT @Lentini_PT 👀👀

Ever wondered what your 1-repetition max is for a given muscle or movement? After a recent Campus Gym Lab, our DPT class of 2025 can now safely measure or estimate your 1-RM! They are one step closer to helping our communities get strong!

Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They’re moments when your nervous system is grounded, you feel fully at peace, and comfortable inside your body. Examples: 1. Feeling the sun on your skin 2. Laying with your pet 3. Hugging your partner 4. Being in awe of nature 5. Being with a group of people that inspire you 6. Creating something beautiful 7. Having your favorite song on repeat 8. Dancing without feeling self conscious Glimmers send the signal to our nervous system that we’re safe. They are moments we feel at one with collective consciousness. Glimmers are hope.

@drmoniquecaruth @policy4pt Next stop: Hollywood!! 🤩🤩

Whew, when I told my parents I wanted to be a #physio I had no idea the journey would bring me here to be part of American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)APTA’s new PSA about how physical therapy can help with many health care challenges, including long COVID. #ChoosePT

@hjluks I would go without it, and probably enjoy it more, but it would bother me all run and day long 😅🫣 #whyamilikethis

We are so grateful to our clinical partners at Baylor Scott & White Outpatient Rehabilitation for hosting our DPT Class of 2025’s Aquatic Exercise Lab! PT school is tough, but we still find ways to relax! Pool party - DPT style!

@Lentini_PT @ForelliFlorian @TeamACL_ @Hewett1Tim @AJM_Rambaud Content for Ther Ex 2 a year in advance! @Lentini_PT We’ll pick up where we left off!

@ForelliFlorian @TeamACL_ @Hewett1Tim @AJM_Rambaud @CarlingbDPT I’ll share @ForelliFlorian’s article when it gets published 👍🏼

@PTPintcast 1.2x to 1.5x

What speed to you listen to podcasts?

How do you describe this xray to your patient?? Now, assume they’re 48 and very active. RT and running. They’re still running. They just started to note some mild pain a week ago. They wanted to be sure nothing was “seriously wrong.”

@hjluks @AlejandroPirisN I think the definition of pain itself explains the “disparity” - “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.”

@AlejandroPirisN I've seen that X-ray in folks who no longer have pain ... and those who have severe pain and others who are somewhere in between
