I had more fun today teaching the 3rd & 4th year PM&R medical residents of UCF College of Medicine than I did lecturing last week at #CSM2026. Greater acceptance by the MDs & DOs for PIEDN for knee #osteoarthritis & C1-2 adjustment for CGH than from within my own profession!

A thread of must know studies for anyone who treats pain. Many of these studies disprove popular, but inaccurate, notions and themes in PT and pain. 1) Cortisone shows less cartilage at 2 years vs sham pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28510679/

This might ruffle some biases! It would seem tendinopathy is more than just loading! “We are very uncertain whether strengthening exercise reduces pain compared to no treatment” @stevekamper1 cochrane.org/CD013078/CENTR…

Crushing headaches on Day-3 of DN-1 Minneapolis with @SamFischerDPT. Take your headache care to another level by learning how with AAMT! #AAMTfellowship, #osteopractic

Day 2 of DN-2 Minneapolis with @DrImamDPT. Learning the pathophysiology of trigger points, and the neurophysiological mechanisms that make dry needling a powerful means of treating pain and neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions. #AAMTfellowship, #osteopractic

It feels surreal to be starting the fellowship journey with AAMT today. It’s been my dream for 2+ years. I’m beyond grateful for how much this organization has already changed my life and practice, and I’m eager for the opportunity and continued growth!

Awesome to kick off the new Fellowship year with @PaulBliton learning best evidence for Non-Thrust skills for physical therapy practice!

Hot off the press today. Reliability, construct validity, responsiveness, minimal detectable change & minimal clinically important difference values for the VAS and pain-free mouth opening in patients with TMD (Young et al, 2025) #AAMTFellowship
