What an exciting breakthrough for those with Alzheimer's! I wonder how and if their postural control will see improvements, in addition to their cognition #csulbdpt

@ChrisMendozaSPT wow!!!! Poor guy!

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

For your consideration as we prepare our patients for life after Neuro Clinic.

@SaharShahidiSPT #SS You brought a great point about manual therapy! Thanks for contributing a different perspective

Nonverbal communication can convey just as much if not more than verbal communication. Self-awareness of nonverbal communication and how it relates to other cultures is important in our field. What experiences have you had? #dpt770 #csulbdpt #RT

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@VGiacaloneSPT #VG great use of verbal communication with your patient! How do you approach your use of non-verbal communication? #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@saraleontis_spt @lordesafok_spt @SarahGhaleSPT @DaniGordon_SPT #SL this is an awesome way to communicate! I always joke around with my patient and do different hand shakes :) #dpt770 #csulbdpt

@lordesafok_spt @SarahGhaleSPT @DaniGordon_SPT #LF I too have been a recipient of your back pats, and I find they make me feel better! :) #csulbdpt #dpt770 #bestroommate

@Nickyluu33_SPT #NL I agree that we must assess ourselves before we come to clinic! I guess our time working on self-reflection has been meaningful! #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@DaniGordon_SPT #DG I like how you provided many examples applicable to how we interact with all of our Neuro Clinic patients! #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@Olivia_Maiocco Your reference to recovery training for patients with PD is a fantastic comparison! I agree a more open posture communicates you are approachable and there for the patient! #csulbdpt #dpt700 #OM

@JeremyWangPT Thank you for sharing your belief about Japanese culture. @Kaz_SPT can you confirm this belief so we can gain a better understanding? #csulbdpt #dpt770 #JW

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@Kaz_SPT Body language is fantastic! How would you approach wearing your heart on your sleeve with patients? #KN #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@TMarcoly_SPT Cool approach :)

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

Interesting to see where our future is headed. "80% of all PT assessments and treatments can now be done on a patient's smart phone in the privacy of their own home." How do you feel about this? #csulbdpt

Emeka's inspiring story will make your morning :) I hope we are all able to work with patient like the amazing @emekannaka during our physical therapy careers. "It's not about me. It's about we!" #CSULBdpt

Greatly enjoyed hosting the Japanese Cultural Exchange with PT Students from #osakajikeacollege It was fun to dance, learn about Long Term Insurance Plans and compare methods of Health Care Delivery #csulbdpt

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@Olivia_Maiocco @JeremyWangPT @saraleontis_spt @Olivia_Maiocco you make a great point! It is scary to think about coming face to face with a variety of conditions that may or may not be within our scope. How does 1 hr really allot us the time to determine what we can do to give the best care to these tricky pts? #SL #dpt770

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

@Kaz_SPT This does put athletes at risk in CA. Take concussion for example! This a huge problem in youth field sports and if not properly assessed, there can be many detrimental complications down the road. Certification should be a MUST! #dpt770 #KN #csulbdpt

[Rachel Thomson, SPT @RThomson_SPT]

Researchers, "Show that swearing can increase performance of a physical power or strength task"... Came across this article while researching #HRV and #physicalfunction
Interesting to think about the effect of our pts personal habits... #csulbdpt
