@dracheypt @doclsmack I’ve done some and I aspire to do more. Clinically, I would roughly estimate 30-40% of assessments and/or follow ups did not require manual therapy or tactile assessment. Lots more behaviour management, education, motivational interviewing, exercise rx.

@doclsmack @dracheypt I think we need to be better with virtual and/or hybrid consults with pelvic PT to help with accessibility. Clinically we see higher drop-off rates in pp population due to lack of accessibility (childcare, time, psychological factors, etc).

Catching up on session 1! @uwo_dwalton Excited to be part of the study group for 6 session. #physiotherapist #education #painscience

[Julie Medwid @JulieMedwid]

Only on the second chapter but already finding it so valuable! Set my intentions to continue to grow as an evidence informed physiotherapist. I am so glad I stumbled upon this textbook!

@J_ParsonsUofM @SandraWebber19 @steph_coen Congratulations!

[Julie Medwid @JulieMedwid]

@AdamMeakins I agree! I am taking a course this weekend and I was able to frequently change positions, hop on my exercise bike while learning, do some housework during breaks, sleep in my own bed and I don’t need time off work to travel 👍

[Julie Medwid @JulieMedwid]

@SamZehnder @AdamMeakins Good question, I would like to weigh in! I think we can say with a strengthening protocol there may be a correlation but can’t say strengthening caused the pain to go away. Confidence, less fear avoidance behaviour, good therapeutic alliance/trust also play a role.

The primary predictors of nursing home placement are ⬇️LE strength and gait speed. We have a professional responsibility to properly dose our older adults. We CANNOT be afraid to challenge our patients because of their age or frailty. #StopAgeism #CSMwithFOX #geriPT #aptaCSM

@TheStrengthJedi In school a group of us did a review project for TKAs that had similar outcomes. Although we had one group as no supervised sessions at all whereas this review allows for at least two. I wonder if there would be a significant difference if compared at 3 months?

November is Fall Prevention Month. A physio will assess your risk of falling based on your health and will develop an activity program just for you. Falls can be prevented by exercising regularly, making your home safer by identifying hazards, and more: https://t.co/moDFiCviIl

@ParticipACTION I keep my sleep cycle in check by making sure I have done at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity and I like to do a short breathing meditation before bed.
