@ASNRehab@juliehershberg Thank you all for the opportunity to listen to your stories and discuss how to bridge the gap between research, practice, and lived patient experience!
Pleased to be able to share this short piece on a tech breakthrough we are currently working on at EQL - proud to work alongside massively talented people like Dr Kate Ryan and Leslie Pan and the rest of the EQL family https://t.co/2cF9QhK14p
Really pleased to see our study with Luca Rossi, @CerritelliF@dibbygibby published on an important aspect of persistent pain and persistent physical symptoms—an important building block for the active inference framework in clinical practice.

@gawendaseminars@SeemaCMS Any updates related to Telehealth for PT with CMS, specifically Evals and clarifications on 7 day rule? Also, could we send claims to secondary insurance per their new coverage rules if CMS not paying?Thanks Rick!
Patients often want 3 things when they come to see you...
1️⃣ to LISTEN to their issues and problems!
2️⃣ to EXPLAIN what you think is the cause of these!
3️⃣ a PLAN to help these issues and problems get better!
It can be difficult but it’s not impossible! https://t.co/MOL767OvTp
A short piece I wrote for those with #neckpain
HT to all the superb researchers whose work is cited @kieranosull@PeteOSullivanPT and many many others 🙏
Hoping it will be a useful clinical resource to start conversations about posture with neck pain sufferers & colleagues 👍
Anyone aware of a systematic review of predictors of developing chronic dizziness after acute symptoms? Good studies out there, but unable to find any specific systematic reviews on the topic. Thanks for any leads!
@KSkopConcussion@TheBalanceNarve Thanks Karen. Given the static stance conditions, Increased Visual dependence vs vestibular (dys)function seemed to contribute more to the response in participants with VM. Makes me wonder how much of a “vestibular” contribution there is to a VM vs vestibular response/ symptoms.
@VestibularRehab I don’t measure SVV any more. Never knew what to do with or about it. I wonder how many people with ocular (torsional) tilt are asymptomatic (successfully adapted). Do we have normative data that includes asymptomatic people?
@MSteinerDPT @VestibularRehab Agree with this approach. What’s your threshold for determining effectiveness before referring to mental health professional?
@JasonOchart Interesting! No coincidence that eyes appear aligned with that plane as well? I’m trying to wrap my head around how in ‘the plane with the pitch incoming pitch’ is something else altogether. @JasonOchart, can you help distinguish? Many thanks!
@NoosaPainClinic Perhaps it’s not for us to change how one feels (pain intensity) or how one feels about how they feel (disability). Focusing on reducing kinesiophobia and catastrophizing (coping skills?) seem to be reasonable outcomes and might be our best investment for patient education.
I’m humbled to learn that while I may not agree with another narrative, it can still be helpful for patients who seek answers and maybe sometimes it’s best to just roll with it.
I have been working with a male in his 80s with lower back and leg pain - improving, but he was still concerned about “not knowing the cause” of his pain. He came in somewhat excited that he had an EMG study and now at least knows the cause - a “pinched lumbar nerve.”
He was confident the treatment would work. He just wanted to make sure the exercises were still safe to do in light of this information. I suspended my pain science narratives and basically met him where he was. I assured him the exercises were still safe & beneficial.
