Thank you all for a very thoughtful discussion! I enjoyed getting to see you all implement the things we've learned in our classes #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@DrSethPT More so when a pt seeks modality based/passive tx and they don't believe in the value of therex so when you aren't doing e-stim or massage they don't want to come back to PT (happens regularly in developing countries) #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

I am looking forward to what you all bring to tonight's discussion. Last Twitter Thursday here we go! #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@BiesemeyerEllie You brought up a great point Ellie! How can we be even more proactive about this problem as it can be often correlated to the expectation to meet a productivity percentages? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@SterrettCarolyn fascinating! Do you think there is a mental component that could play a role in these results? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@DrSethPT Thank you so much for these insights! I am curious about how could we encourage adherence to guidelines if pts stop coming because they aren't getting the type of treatment they want? Does this place a financial burden on PTs and clinics? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@_Erin_Peterson @MichChristian5 This is such a great point Erin and often pts won't even do their HEPs. How would you explain the progression involved in loading our bodies to create the appropriate type and amount of stress to a pt? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@AnnaReiserSPT Great point Anna! How can we be advocates for these changes so we can better serve our patients? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@TsaiJames_ Yes James, pt autonomy is so important and valuable! Making sure you are listening to your pt as a human being and not just as another diagnosis to treat will make you stand out in the health care field! #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@McCarthyShealey Nice! We can often get caught in the science behind what we know and why we do what we do, so it is important to find ways to transfer our knowledge to pts so they can make life long changes to improve their quality of life #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@kdavidnau This a fantastic way to think outside of the box! What outcome tools would you use to help pts you see via telehealth see their progress, so they realize that modalities are not always necessary? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@TsaiJames_ We definitely have to make sure we are taking into account long-term function. If your pt whole-heartedly believes in passive tx but your professional opinion says it is not the best approach what would you do if they complain about no longer getting passive tx? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@JessicaTeply Thank you for sharing this article! How would you then transfer the evidence based knowledge you have to pt friendly language to try to dismantle beliefs about physical therapy that have been engrained in our field for years? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@Dmbrockman It is definitely tricky when you have to find a way to keep your doors open. Do you have any ideas about how to go on about educating pts, earning their trust and also giving them the best tx plan? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@rainataylorrr That is a really neat article, thank you. For pts that seek modality heavy tx, how would you go on about explaining that passive tx is meant to be a supplement to active tx? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@EmilySelby_SPT You brought up a great point about some passive treatments allowing us to achieve goals that active tx might not. What are other outcomes from using passive tx that might not be as attainable with active tx? #PT582 #ARF

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

@BiesemeyerEllie this website https://t.co/Zt7SgQTqbx about how the anatomy of a horse can mimic human pelvic girdle anatomy&gait pattern so I wonder if there's a way to use hippotherapy to stimulate the central pattern generator in pts. with spinal cord injuries or gait ataxia #PT582 #EB

[Adabelle Recarte Fajardo @RecarteAdabelle]

#PT582 #EB Professional Association of Horsemanship certified programs are equipped to be able to work w/pts with DS. It can be safely used with proper certification&training,and has been proven to be beneficial for many other aspects of DS such as the social&behavioral aspects.
