After 12 weeks in our pro bono neuro clinic I'm so sad to say good bye to my awesome patient, but so proud of all his progress and happy with all the knowledge gained. #csulbdpt770 #TransformingSociety

PTs try to improve the way you move, but how much should you move? Here is a guideline by age https://t.co/P0izq1IxHy #csulpdpt770

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@TMarcoly_SPT Yes! I couldn't understand why my patient didn't want to walk outside in "bad" weather when it seemed sunny to me. @Nickyluu33_SPT Pointed out to me that in Vietnamese culture, its believed walking in the wind can make you sick. That helped me make an indoor HEP! #csulpdpt770 #TM

@RachelFoust_SPT @Olivia_Maiocco I agree, while we shouldn't just aim for placebo results, I think doing what the patient wants helps with buy in and improves overall outcomes! #csulbdpt770 #RF

Fun time with Special Olympics doing health screening as the only volunteer NOT from @USCBKNPT Great meeting other SPTs! #csulbDPT #soscfg

What do patients want from PT? Turns out outcome measures aren't as important as skill, professionalism, empathy, good communication, and friendliness! https://t.co/eLQe4i38ty #csulbdpt #dpt770 #PhysicalTherapy

This program pairs children with limb differences to engineers/designers to create custom, amped up prosthetics. What a great way to highlight our unique strengths! #participationmatters #csulbdpt #dpt770 https://t.co/jCFQA4pAZe

@saraleontis_spt @SaharShahidiSPT I would also like to think that PTs from the 80s now have 30+ years of experience identifying the same red flags we are now taught in school. #SL #dpt770 #csulbdpt

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@saraleontis_spt @Olivia_Maiocco @JeremyWangPT I agree, and research has shown experienced PTs and student PTs have a higher level of education in musculoskeletal conditions than most physicians https://t.co/n9pUbgoDHx #dpt770 #SL #csulbdpt

New report shows >50% of ortho surgery pts received opioids more potent than recommended, & 12% of ortho surgery pts in the past year became addicted to opioids. We can help stop this crisis! #choosePT #DPT770 https://t.co/eNqKxvGuQL

Oct 13th is the Global PT Day of Service. LB is going a beach clean up, will you pledge to participate? https://t.co/Dmv2eCTNQq. #csulbdpt #DPT770 #ptdayofservice

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

For Republicans to schedule a Friday vote on Kavanaugh today, 2 days before Dr. Blasey Ford has had a chance to tell her story, is outrageous. First Republicans demanded Dr. Blasey Ford testify immediately. Now they don’t even need to hear her before they move ahead with a vote.

@JojoFok_SPT @JoeVitugSPT That was one of the main point's of the CPTA president's speech this weekend! I think its up to us to make sure quantity doesn't outweigh quality #JF #JV #dpt770

@HoustonHouse121 @TMarcoly_SPT #IH I think a healthier America is for the greater good. And looking at what I quoted earlier, I think it is within the right of the gov to add taxes for the welfare of its people. But in no way am I against private or cash based practice #csulbdpt

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@bengerami_spt @lokli_spt I said this in an earlier tweet, but undocumented immigrants do pay state and federal taxes, yet they don't get to use the benefits such as Medicare and Social Security. But isn't helping those less fortunate the whole point of universal health care? #BG #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@SarahGhaleSPT @JoeVitugSPT @HoustonHouse121 Totally agree!!! And even those who do have jobs, does your salary truly reflect how hard working you are? I think not. #dpt770 #csulpdpt

@SaharShahidiSPT I think people were more interested in getting rid of Obama's legacy without doing the critical thinking to see what it meant for them and their healthcare #csulbdpt #dpt770 #SS

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@lordesafok_spt @rebeccayang_pt @HoustonHouse121 I want to point out that millions of undocumented immigrants file tax returns each year, paying ~$24 bill in 2015. AND these taxes are for benefits they can't use like medicare & social security. To flip the question, should people who are paying for healthcare be barred from it?

[Megan Beach, SPT @MeganBeach_SPT]

@JamieTanSPT @buenaventuradpt @Kaz_SPT Yes, & its sad since I think our profession can offer so much more! When I was at CPTA there was a lot of discussion on how it should be our duty to promote wellness, fitness, & health, especially considering how these tenets can easily prevent diseases like diabetes & HTN. #JT
