@kwatts13 @JaredDudley619 @NAU how do you feel about Canadian turkey? Come join us!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@rs2275 @NAUPT582 I saw this and then found the randomized control trial...so very interesting!

@NAUPT582 @rs2275 PRP program combined with rehab=return to sport faster for ACUTE muscle tear https://t.co/GspdPST5Oo

@BadeSbade92 Perhaps mirror therapy might not be the best option! Treatment=teamwork between pt. and PT, find what pt. will be committed to

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@NAUPT582 yes he was...had done research regarding PRP himself and received injections before coming to therapy.

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@NAUPT582 The pt. I worked with said it was working, not sure if it was, but he was happy with his progress.

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@NAUPT582 Right, but if the patient feels that PRP is working for them, do we let them continue with PRP?

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@steveshatz24 then maybe mirror therapy isn't the best option! Pt. needs to be willing to commit the time to the intervention.

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

A pt. swore that platelet-rich plasma injections=success... while receiving therapy, is a combo key? #RS #PT582 https://t.co/ng0hUlaog5

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

It comes down to pt. motivation. Prescribe mirror therapy if the pt. is highly motivated, then you are addressing pt.'s desires! #PT582 #SB

@annak651 Reading the PT's level of education regarding Alzheimer's is a good starting point, they may be educated!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@Nikofreako5... but our opportunity, I love the optimistic outlook!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@rs2275 do you think a continuing Ed course on genetics would be helpful? I feel like I would attend, sign me up!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@annak651 that's what I'm concerned about! Addressing a topic like that can send a pt. into emotional turmoil, can that be prevented?

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@lauren_leigh_pt THAT'S GREAT! Nothing better than doing some collaborative research together on a comfy high low table! I love it!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@BadeSbade92 Agreed, do you think education or actual preventative measures would be more beneficial at this time?

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@steveshatz24 I think encouragement of getting 150 min of ex a week is beneficial, but preventative PT measures may not be needed 👍🏻

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@RiveraJr2678 Rule #1: never miss Bingo night Rule #2: always do your exercises 👍🏻

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@lauren_leigh_pt I like it! If we can give pt. options of where to go for more info, we are showing our value as clinicians!

[Lauren Provencio @Ldprovo]

@AlyssaCLoeb agreed, explain to the pt. that while they have an increased risk, preventative measures can be taken to decrease risk!
