Amanda was having trouble “bouncing back” after having a baby. Then she saw a physical therapist. http://t.co/hg3rKcXfoB

No matter what the TV commercials say, leaking is NOT normal. Look up a pelvic health PT so you can wear #PantsNotPads.

@CaitlinFitzPT Knowing what your desired goal is, and tailoring your message to your audience to that end. #IHPFT2

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

Biggest challenge is keeping D/C in mind at all times during Tx. Much higher stakes in IP vs OP! #ihpft2

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@KeshrieN @hay_alexia @JessBernardPTs Yes #IHPFT2

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@Suzi_Dee I agree, and find it hard to keep the end in mind while in the thick of it #IHPFT2

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

It will be interesting to see how this affects Tx of wounds. http://t.co/zCRpgJymyu

@ethanTpravetz @PTSchoolProbs Am I insulted you think I don't try, or flattered you think I'm succeeding in PT school?

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@PTsDini I ask for advice re: my POC choices, brainstorm alternatives, and ask for their help in Tx. Deferential, but in charge. #IHPFT1

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@lauren_kling Same here. It's been great to get a sense of what clinic admin/delegation looks/feels like. #IHPFT1

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@LindseyB2016 Agreed, without good admin/billing we'd be sunk. #IHPFT1

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

I've worked with an athletic trainer, personal trainers, fitness class instructors, billing personnel, and chiropractors. #IHPFT1

@PTstudent_nerd @JoeVDrumline Core stability to trainers at our gym. Anatomy, function, assesmt, exrcs guidelines, & risk reduction. #ihpft1

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@MahaBerti I've used that with mixed results. Wouldn't touch tight hamstrings, had to go back to static stretching. #IHPFT1

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@lauren_kling saw those too! It's pretty crazy how wide our scope is.

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

Anyone done stuff in #IHPFT1 that surprised them? For me, it's percussion, active cycle of breathing, & FETs, in OP ortho.

PTs and dentists can collaborate to treat #TMJ dysfunctions. #IHPFT1 http://t.co/hzH9LbR1cj

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@LindseyB2016 I've seen some DX have strong emotional part. Listening actively in Tx can make pt feel heard, which we all crave.

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@LindseyB2016 1. Validate their feelings 2. Try to find reason 3. Redirect, diffuse with humor if possible.

[Richard Brickman @Brickial_Plexus]

@cconley2016 really cool read! I see a ton of SI DX, this makes things more clear. #IHPFT1
