Any recommendations for professional liability insurance companies that provide coverage for international work? Have HPSO but discovered today that I’m only covered in US and it’s territories

@AdamMeakins You know your stuff and are an asset to the profession in that way. But the “angry/edgy PT social media personality” gets old for some people and they miss the valuable info you are trying to convey.

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@AdamMeakins Valid points, Adam. Would you be as fired up in attacking this article if you had not built your brand on the “can’t go wrong getting strong/manual therapy sucks” angle? We all have biases and they all shape our narratives

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@AdamMeakins Fair enough, you did provide a critical review. And I see a lot of your points. The way in which you convey your points, while good for your brand/image/business, is so rich in bias that your valid points get drowned out. All that comes through is “the angry PT on social media.”

Abnormal findings in 97% of MRIs of knees in asymptomatic adults. Even bucket handles. “Treat the patient not the MR image”. Not new but salient. ⁦@brucebforster⁩ https://t.co/6Utu6SAIDk

Seeking Feedback: What are some “foundational” texts in sports physical therapy/sports medicine? Any and all recommendations appreciated

@NSurdykaPhysio @jlemons @APTAtweets @aaspt_apta What is the recent IFSPT decision you are referring to?

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@ptreviewer And to a certain degree, third party payers and predatory practices alike prey on the altruistic and somewhat business naïveté most PTs carry. That has built on its self over the years and contribute to where we are currently I believe

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@ptreviewer Agreed that a big component is falling reimbursement. But also agree we have to figure out why reimbursement is falling. Don’t think we are completely helpless in making a case for improved reimbursement. We have to get to the “why” and honestly I don’t know

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@PeteOSullivanPT @chadcookpt from employer/leadership/peers/society for being offensive, most stay quiet. A survival mechanism of sorts I think

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@PeteOSullivanPT @chadcookpt The words “That offended me” carry massive weight and societal repercussions in our culture. Our discourse around politics often takes and offensive tone, and folks are extremely prone to being offended by political discussion. Culminated with a fear of strong repercussions 1/

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@jeffmooredpt @ChrisCameronDPT @APTAtweets Agreed. Starts at individual level. Takes true passion and intrinsic motivation. Takes level of energy and dedication that some aren’t willing to do/don’t see the point or don’t know how

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@jeffmooredpt @ChrisCameronDPT @APTAtweets “They have me some exercises to do at home. When I saw them, we would do those same exercises and maybe some other things.” Generic, non-specific, and to the patient, seemingly non-skilled. Often the result of PTs being overloaded with patients and massive productivity goals

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@MikeMakher @GlenBoorman Yes, the altruistic nature of PTs is sometimes taken advantage. As you have said, we need courage, unity in purpose and a vision for what we want our profession to be. Rather than it being dictated to us

[Daniel Chelette @JDChelettePT]

@MikeMakher @GlenBoorman is key. But to truly evolve and change the way our profession operates, the majority of our profession has to see the need for and have the drive for seeking out those changes. It takes leadership, understanding, courage, and intelligence
