Beyond excited to be back in my
home city for a weekend of learning, connecting, and inspiration! Seeing my family here is an incredible bonus as well 💚#APTACSM
Love the subtle transition in a plan of care when pain stops dictating the air in the session and it feels like a high level strength, conditioning, and performance session
Change lives, not just pain. Build capacity. Make PT sweaty.
I love this career🥹
@PTPintcast My favorite motto is selling “thoughtless, fearless movement”
Alongside returning to whatever activity they are passionate about
My goal is to have people feel empowered and excited about moving, not continually feeling fragile and fearful
Right after I passed boards I treated myself to buying a Nintendo switch, because for the first time in 10+ years I had free time outside of studying.
This was the single best decision I made for my mental health this year. Feeling like a kid again playing Zelda is amazing 🤩
Had headache building up today and I thought it was because I didn’t have enough coffee this morning, but then my coworker and I were practicing cervical manips and turns out I don’t actually need any more coffee
Manual therapy rocks
No one ask about my caffeine dependency🤪
3 things have made my evals so much more meaningful this month: a 🧵
1. Handwriting notes on a body chart template I created for my brain
2. Letting the patient speak for 5 minutes, uninterrupted (or until they run out of things to say)
3. 5 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact
3. 👀awkward at first but reminds me how much connection I have missed over the years by hiding behind my EMR on my laptop. It tells them that they have my undivided attention and I am hearing every word. Humans can’t multitask!!

2023 is the year I get my ducks in a row financially. Needed to hop on here and say that @FitBUXofficial is the best deal around (<$20/mo!!) and their personal coaching and financial planning software has changed my life after only a month. #studentdebt#newgradDPT
It’s a really cool feeling to realize I’m exactly where I need to be going the exact pace I need to be to get me to where I would like to be in 5-10 years.
Loving every moment of this journey.
2/2: Been cool to watch my feet be able to be feet. Long-standing plantar heel/Achilles pain has gone away. Ankles feel more stable.
If you’re looking to jump on the #barefoot shoe trend, just do it and give it time.
Just ordered my 2nd pair, excited to buy hiking boots soon.
1/2: Purely anecdotal, but I’ve been wearing @VIVOBAREFOOT to work for 5 months, along with working on intrinsic foot strengthening. Since then, whenever I wear my other brands of running shoes/sneakers, my feet and legs hurt all over and my toes go numb.
