Dr. Marc Anthony PT, DPT, Cert. MDT

Today's more like "Wake Me Up When Semester Ends."

@RepJackKimble Have you thought about pulling yourself up by your boot straps?

I made less than $1,300 a day last year for the days I worked. Washington is a very expensive city and I’ve had to switch to a lot of domestic products as a result.

@RepJackKimble This is like when Bill Gates thought a single banana was $10

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@kazamanon @AJA_Cortes Even if they go through advanced training? I.e. SMT or FAAOMPT?

@MarcAnthony182 @AJA_Cortes You are right. I think in spinal conditions chiropractic is more effective (assuming PT doesnt manipulate, which imo they should not)

Four years, people have sent me messages where they get a diagnosis from their doctor, usually something orthopedic in nature But the physician gave them no explanation as to what to do about it, how it developed, why it happened Often my explanation to them is simply a layman's terms rehash and general suggestion to see a specialist or how to approach rehab I'm not calling all doctors lousy, but clearly there is a deficit in bedside manner and patient communication amongst many

@kazamanon @AJA_Cortes PT absolutely address joint motion. Help me understand your stance.

@AJA_Cortes As a chiropractor ive seen typical flow for allopathic mgmt of spinal ortho conditions. Muscle relaxers first, PT second, MRI and surgery or pain management next. Joints need to move to survive. PT is great but doesn't address joint motion. Chiropractic needs to be first line

@Retlouping From my understanding paresthesia does not centralize or peripheralize. Pain centralized, paresthesia produced.

A patient with leg pain to the calf performs repeated extension exercises and the leg pain appears to migrates proximally to his buttock. On stopping the pain does not return to the leg, but he reports tingling in his foot. Is this a centralisation response?

@mikereinold The way I learned it was, DPT shows the academic degree and PT shows the license. If I let my license lapse, I believe I could still use DPT in my name, but not PT. Not sure the validity of that, but it's what I remember.

Honest question for my PT friends out there - why do we put the initials "PT, DPT" after our names? Why the repetition? I get it, we are PTs, and you have a doctorate degree. Why not just put "DPT?"

@northwoods1980 Robin McKenzie has been saying this since the 80's

What’s up with the recent nonstop posting about glute and spine extension exercises being the cure all for low back pain treatment and prevention? Where did this even come from? Did one influencer post something and now every gym bro with a ring light thinks they cracked the code on spinal health?

@elonmusk There it is. The never ending grind. Have your car do work for you so they can eventually take away all of your work benefits and fire you.

Oh and it works in all AI4-equipped cars, so your car can do office work for you when not driving. We’re also deploying millions of dedicated Digital Optimus units in the field at Superchargers where we have ~7 gigawatts of available power.

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this.

@elonmusk You think I'm putting my SSN into AI? Get real.

Grok can help with your taxes

@VLS4real @IdleGlands @TeslaCharging I've let it warm up for 20 min in the cold while parked and usually it heats up the battery before driving. Maybe you need to let it run longer.

@IdleGlands @TeslaCharging It only defrosts the windshield and heats the cabin, but doesn’t heat the battery to optimal driving condition. I always have to drive with a cold battery degenerative after staying parked for 30 minutes where there is no charging at that place in winter.

Charging preparations for extreme US winter weather → If charging at home, charge to 100% → Always route to Superchargers using Tesla Navigation to precondition your battery for the fastest charging → For Model 3/Y standard range rear wheel drive: use 250kW+ Superchargers when possible as they can directly heat cold-soaked batteries, getting you back on the road faster → Use your vehicle's touchscreen or Tesla App as the source of truth for Supercharger availability → Winter driving tips: tesla.com/support/winter…

@elonmusk And obviously you're reducing the cost of FSD then due to the added financial strain.

Tesla will stop selling FSD after Feb 14. FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription thereafter.

@DanLairdMD Was pain the only symptom? I'm not an MD but a 'crushed spinal cord' would usually present with other issues that would involve immediate intervention to prevent potential paralysis, incontinence, permanent gait disturbance etc. If the patient was told to leave I'd question ER.

Patient presents to Las Vegas ER with acutely herniated disc crushing the spinal cord. Officious retail pharmacist allegedly refuses to fill opioid pain medication prescribed by ER MD. Patient suffers in unimaginable agony for two weeks until admitted to hospital. Yes, we will be submitting a formal complaint to the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy. Yes, we will be filing a lawsuit against the pharmacy. And yes, the ignorant inhumane pharmacist will be named as an individual defendant. And no, pharmacists don't know more about medications than the physicians who prescribe them. #PharmacyMalpractice #MedicalMalpractice #ChronicPain

@markeatsmeat @anabology Test her for narcolepsy.

@anabology My wife works all day under LEDs, scrolls on her phone in bed, then passes out and sleeps soundly for 8 hours every night. Study her.

Dogs are pretty good at circadian rhythm despite having the same indoor lighting. Maybe it's mostly the phones

@TeslaCharging This better be a joke. You're just hiking the overall price. Go back to peak on and off times.

Live pricing expanded to an additional 550 sites in California, New Jersey, New York, Florida and Illinois. Currently the average price remains the same, peak prices are unchanged and will be paid by fewer sessions. We'll keep iterating on getting it right, based on impact and customer feedback.

@pedroco112358 @notadvice P.s. is "post script". A 2nd post script should be p.p.s. for "post post script" not "post script script." Weird to come off educated and fumble there my guy.

@notadvice Honestly, if your notch count is truly 1 and you were in a comited relationship with him, go for the cornfeed midwestern Brom Van Brunt and be happy. Ps.: His death is irrelevant to the argument Pss.: This is the internet. Should I hold your hand because you are a girl?

Listen, I’m gonna say what every woman with any sense is thinking but is too polite to mention. Let me tell you something about MEN. Not boys. Not “finding themselves” philosophers with ideas of grandeur to rebuild rural America with a baby on the way. You wanna talk about “simple living”? About finding some $80,000 shack in the middle of nowhere and calling it financial freedom? Cute. Real cute. You know what’s NOT cute? Having a newborn baby and wondering if you can afford formula and food on the table this week because daddy decided his self-actualization journey was more important than building generational wealth. I know MEN. Real men. The kind who get up at 4 AM and come home at 7 PM because they understand that providing isn’t optional… it’s the FOUNDATION. These are the men who built this country. Brick by brick, deal by deal, sacrifice by sacrifice. My father worked doubles. My uncles worked doubles. Every man worth knowing in my life has understood one fundamental truth: when you have a family, you don’t GET to be tired. You don’t GET to float down rivers contemplating your journey. You PROVIDE. Period. They did everything in their power to make sure their wives didn’t have to choose between the electric bill and groceries. You know what I see now? Boys convincing themselves poverty is actually minimalism. That failure is actually “rejecting the system”. There’s a difference between struggling despite breaking your back every day, and struggling because you’ve decided “simple living” means checking out of the rat race before you ever really entered it. One is noble. The other is just… lazy with a Pinterest aesthetic. And before anyone comes at me with “but mental health” and “but work-life balance”, FUCKING SPARE ME. You think my father didn’t want to relax? You think the men in my family wouldn’t have LOVED to take a Tuesday off to go fishing? But they had CHILDREN. They had RESPONSIBILITIES. They understood that being a provider isn’t about finding the path of least resistance. This is the season you GRIND. Where you work yourself to the bone. This is when you sacrifice EVERYTHING to build the foundation your child will STAND ON. These young guys with their manifestos about rural life and affordable housing. Fine. Beautiful vision. Then what? You moved, congratulations. Where’s the DRIVE? Where’s the HUNGER?? BUILD SOMETHING. You just brought a CHILD into this world, and your priority is… simplicity? Your baby doesn’t need simple. Your baby needs OPPORTUNITY. Security. Options. These same guys will preach about “masculinity” and “traditional values.” Brother, traditional masculinity IS providing. Traditional values MEAN you sacrifice your comfort for your family’s security. You don’t get to cherry-pick the aesthetics and skip the substance. I’m not saying everyone needs to be a Wall Street shark or a Silicon Valley tech bro. But there’s a middle ground between selling your soul and floating down a river while your pregnant wife watches you “find yourself.” The men I respect? They’re BUILDING something. Even if they’re not millionaires, they’re STRIVING. They have AMBITION. They see their children as motivation, not as accessories to their homesteading fantasy. Every real man I know treats fatherhood like war. You show up. You dominate. You WIN. Because your child deserves better than your surrender into poverty cosplay for virtue. FRANKLY, I’m disgusted you would treat building a family in such a LACKADAISICAL manner. Grow up.

@samclementt Unless you've got a legit circulatory issue, these likely will have minimal effect. Your body already has "pumps" in place. Probably feels good at the time, but long term effects are limited if any

Has anyone legitimately ran a stud to find out if these work, or just the biggest waste of money there is for recovery

They play Creed in Italy

@JDVance Literally so many people think prayer is a substitute for action. So many. We see it every day

It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy. Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action. We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.

@sappholives83 It's well documented that prosthetics improve running efficiency which is part of the reason why the paraolymics is a separate event.
