@k_consiglio You stole my idea!

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

Tiger's new swing consultant is a biomechanist. Breaking down movement will identify swing faults, prevent future injury and help shoot low.

I think the DPT program should perform a screen of the 1st year's fitness and compare it to the end of third year. #ResearchIdea #OutOfShape

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

One of the best weeks of third year so far. Golf, throwing, opportunity to share about my rotation to first years, Parkinson's. #blessed

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@espn asks what has been your best day ever. I want to know about your best day in the clinic. Feel free to share both. #thankful #140orless

@tmsSPT Loving supine thoracic spine for sure. O'Donnell and Kirages made it easy. Definitely need more practice! #ManipulationInProgress

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

That feeling when your writing a paper, and you know you have way too many references....I have references supporting the use of references.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

After being introduced to so many different grade five mobilizations, which one is your favorite? Which one are you most comfortable with?

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@Lisa_SPT depends on what viscera was manip'd? What did you see? I know @MeagOday is on rotation now where CI does frequently.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@Lisa_SPT Dont be afraid to try things. Can get into specifics but the material we have from class should suffice. Isolated contraction key!

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@Lisa_SPT approach it like you'd any other patient. Patients are super grateful for any help. Hopefully get mix of pains and incontinences.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

Don't be afraid to be aggressive prescribing rest. Also don't be afraid to flip the EBP pyramid upside down. Case study still valuable.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

Lateral thinking. Come across something in subjective, test it rather than wait until end. New concept CI wants me to try. #elitefromnovice

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

Tips on managing 10/10 pain? Or more how to manage workers compensation? Curious to see if anyone has read explain pain in its entirety.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@R_Grims was he diagnosed 7 years ago and never did anything about it? I don't understand how that happens. Could refer out but will he go?

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@kirbachSPT No original assessment, tough call. Can use certain parts but more looking at recognizing/monitoring symptoms at that point?

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@R_Grims @aimBrightPT @k_consiglio FOTO! Generates % disability and recommends g codes based on patient responses and normative data.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

Always smirk at the response when scheduling patients at 7:00 am slot. "If I don't get 11 hours, I don't function" #stilldarkout #sleepyhead

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@k_consiglio @R_Grims Bent knee fall outs or UE twists. Eccentric control and letting gravity do the work.

[Kevin Brittain DPT @KevinBrittainPT]

@R_Grims @k_consiglio Similiar with the UE if they can flex to 90/interlock the hands.
