@margaret_alice_ M, SO IMPORTANT! If a pt is prone, let them know when and where you're going to touch them. #nosurprises

@tso_tiffany @sellison111 @KStuart_14 T, I've found it's best to compare that pt's pain from one session to the next. #sosubjectiveithurts

#PT676 Let pt know you're getting up in their space - helps them get more comfortable and feel more secure, especially with balance work.

@DMartinBoston DM, very good point! Put strong hands on the pt to help them feel safe and secure. #CTGisgood

@mebradley92 Excellent Mich! It's important to figure out how interested a pt is and give them the knowledge they seek. #knowledgehelpsheal

@margaret_alice_ @asmigliani217 Just makes me think those bones must be grinding against one another - painful! #SIbeltsaremagic

@basil_ganglia So true Whit! It's important to figure out what's most important and save the rest for later. #saveitforlater
