Memorable quote: ”Develop a compassion to serve that is great than the compulsion to survive”. @CraigLiebenson , #fpmmentorship, This is not the way of the world,but we need it to be. In the Hippocratic Oath,it states "first,do no harm".Vested interests that drive care,harm

In the musculoskeletal treatment space, how is the landscape shaping up globally? Dr. @stephfilbay chimes in w/ her observations.

Agree or disagree, most will concede the US is not leading the way despite efforts from a minority of practitioners like @AlisonSyno.

These observations seem justified when factoring in the free market. Patients are driving the conversation by seeking care by all means necessary that align with their values.

@AdamMeakins “My other PT altered the exercises you gave me, because I was not connecting the right muscles” 😮‍💨

[Alison Synakowski @AlisonSyno]

Fucked up things I heard today

1) ortho says to pt: you’re going to cashed based PT? What are you independently wealthy?

2) pt says to PT: I want to try non operative care for my ACL, so I need to avoid extension PT: “no we need to get extension” and continues to push into pain

[Alison Synakowski @AlisonSyno]

@hjluks So much research in this space and such an exciting time! Working thru my own healing and return!

Preparation for the best is something that never stops and “simply” a way of life!

[Dottie Pepper @dottie_pepper]

We all feel that same excitement!

And, yes, prep is necessary (and on-going regularly) for the most demanding walk of the year. 2x weekly pilates/gyrotonic sessions, daily cardio and stability-strengthening program designed by @AlisonSyno. 2nd toughest walk: Muirfield Village.

[Alison Synakowski @AlisonSyno]

@golfdinosaurrr @dottie_pepper Walking and being on your feet all day is certainly not something that is easy and to take for granted!! 💪🏼 💪🏼
Regular strength training and cardio are crucial! Not surprising that @dottie_pepper is disciplined on carrying out a plan! It’s only as good as the user.

[Matt Synakowski @MSyno1]

In the states it take 17 years to implement just TEN PERCENT of proven clinical healthcare research. It may shock some of you that many healthcare providers are operating on outdated treatment models & unaware of emerging research.

So when it comes to decisions on ACL surgery, rest assured we're behind the rest of the world.

Dr. @stephfilbay explains why recco's to patients to get surgery are based on poorly designed research. And why stateside @AlisonSyno gets patients from the other side of the country reaching out for non-surgical options.

Surgery may be best, but you have options.

[Peter O'Sullivan @PeteOSullivanPT]

I continue to be shocked and disappointed to hear stories of patients being told by clinicians to avoid doing the things in life that give them meaning....due to pain. The result is greater distress and disability with no pain benefits. Why do we continue to do this?
