At least 1/2 of pts this summer were neck/back. Majority LBP. Heard/gave a TON of ed. re: posture http://t.co/gG184L7OLP #summerofLBP #pt676

@IHP_PTClinEd @jlevine4 like when a pt does more reps than he's supposed to, i correct and say "..but i appreciate your effort"

[Andy Kim @AndyK_SPtotheT]

@veronica_ase always begin w/what u appreciate about their approach. be honest/open while maintaining respect & attitude of openmindedness!

[Andy Kim @AndyK_SPtotheT]

give praise where it's is due! when pt demos improved form/mechanics, let them know u notice. "i really like how u..."-- means a lot #pt676

[Andy Kim @AndyK_SPtotheT]
