Honored to have contributed to the updated ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training Prescription for Muscle Function, Hypertrophy, and Physical Performance in Healthy Adults. This was a major undertaking that synthesized findings from all related systematic reviews to develop recommendations aligned with the current body of evidence. It was truly a collaborative effort among all co-authors. Particular kudos to @mackinprof for leading the project and fostering inclusivity throughout the process. #gottalift

@DrSethPT Again seeing a title includ "physical therapy" as an intervention. We are a profession. Call the intervention for what it is.
English
I think this needs the profession’s attention. AAOS in my view has endorsed several hit pieces like this against PT and bent over backwards to defend ill-advised surgeries.
There are several issues with this paper 🧵

Excited to share this. I have been deep into addressing sleep in clinical practice since 2018. My hope is that this open access pub and podcast can help PTs out there.
Treating pain must encompass lifestyle behaviors - we highlight how specifically for sleep.

@DrSethPT Honestly, Post professional training is where CBE can shine. Fellowship esp. We are doing a lot of work to figure out ways to make this happen more intentionally in the Bellin College fellowship. AAOMPT has been working hard at CBE.
English
I was just reminded of CBE efforts in fellowship and I’m still amazed how much further along post professional training in PT is…yet no more than 3% of PTs do it. Why is entry level so far behind in implementing this stuff?

Our new masterclass provides insight on how pain is rarely driven by a single mechanism. The Person-Centered Hypothesis (PCH) framework brings together pain phenotypes, pathology, regional interdependence, and psychosocial and lifestyle influences into a coherent clinical picture. Visual tools such as the radar plot help clinicians prioritise what matters most for this person, at this moment. For educators and mentors, PCH offers a shared language for case discussion, supervision, and assessment. A valuable contribution to contemporary musculoskeletal education. A practical framework for navigating complexity without increasing cognitive load.

We want a rainbow of vegetables and fruits on our plates because each color signifies a different healthy phytonutrient--nutrient in the plant. Aim to consume 7-9 a day (2-3 fruits and 5-7 vegetables). How many did you have so far today? #diet #nutrition ow.ly/d7dX30nMJ62

Manual therapy has shaped our roots—but should it still shape our identity? In this clip, we dig into the tension between historical influence, public perception, and what fellowship training truly teaches: OMPT is far more than one technique.
English
Always good to talk with my friend @MKargelaDPT on the @modernpaincare podcast about OMPT. Hope our discussion is helpful for someone out there.
Mark Kargela@MKargelaDPT
The debate around “manual therapy” is bigger than semantics—it’s about history, identity, and how we communicate our value. This clip breaks down why the term still shapes clinician understanding, even as our models evolve.

It was an honor nominating my friend and colleague Joe for this award. He has done so much at Emplify Health and a great partner with Bellin College's OMPT Fellowship program.

@DrDunning @DrSethPT @IvanDodlek95 I am also interested to see the dosage of the DN and the other treatments. I was having access issues, but can't wait to read.
English
Interesting the abstract has no information on what SAPS population (military? subacute, chronic?) the sample was taken from AND not a single word describing the actual DN treatment (how many sessions, how many needles, was it a standardized intervention, time in situ, EDN or DN, any particular tissue targets) or the dosage parameters. Sort of strange to omit this from the abstract. Nevertheless I will read the full text this week and give my specific thoughts at that time.
