We’ve touch base on this in class as well. A wonderful benefit of remaining active throughout your life. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Older individuals in their 70's that exercised for 50+ years had skeletal muscle metabolic fitness that was indistinguishable from those of active people in their 20's. The active elderly group had cardiovascular health similar to people 30 years younger. https://t.co/7V7FQlmHTF

“...the Institute of Medicine estimated that up to one-third of the US population lives with ongoing pain.“ We need to focus on identifying the root mechanism of pain in all its forms to gain a better understanding of how to optimally treat it. #csulbdpt

@RThomson_SPT @DaniGordon_SPT for various cultures to have different beliefs about patient-provider interaction and potential boundaries relating to physical touch, specific interventions, or techniques requiring specific physical contacts from the clinician. It would be valuable to be aware of this! #dpt770

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@RThomson_SPT @DaniGordon_SPT Hey, #DG! I really liked your examples of some of the manual cues we use in clinic as well! We continuously get feedback about proper patient handling- which will improve with experience. Something else to keep in mind in regards to cultural competence is the potential...

@ChelseaS_SPT team-based, and collaborative patient-care model! Which is really tempting now- especially with the high demand for medical care within society #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@ChelseaS_SPT Hey, #CS ! Personally, I think the Patient Center Medical Home system sounds like it can really have a positive effect on patient-centered care, as it, promotes coordination between healthcare providers to improve outcomes and efficiency of care. It provides a platform for a...

A brief overview of different interventions utilized to treat adhesive capsulitis presenting with greater stiffness than pain- positive short and long term effects were found on patients’ passive and active ROM, pain, and function. #csulbdpt

Improved postural control observed in a small sample size of patients with Parkinson’s- proposed to be due to increased dopamine receptor binding potential following an 8 week, 3x/week treadmill program. Exercise is key! #MovementMatters #csulbdpt https://t.co/9BBpwo7igr

Once again, the benefits of physical activity are demonstrated across the lifespan. This study, “...highlights the importance of future research on ‘the effectiveness of mobility programs to reduce mortality in frail older adults.’”

Pain is managed by a team! Not only do PTs need to advocate for treating pain through safer alternatives, but other healthcare providers need to get on board, too! Teamwork makes the dream work... #ChoosePT #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Choose Physical Therapy (ChoosePT) @Choose_PT]

When it comes to your health, you have a choice. Choose more movement and better health. Choose physical therapy. https://t.co/yp7Mz3rSi0

@rachel_roesgen field that ATCs may not have exposure to the level of education or degree of clinical experience as PTs do, in order to be as effective or efficient as PTs. #RR #dpt770

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@rachel_roesgen I agree that experience is key! And while it’s nice they have the opportunity to see the MOI at a sporting event, they wouldn’t have the same opportunity while treating any “active person.” Treating the general population for a variety of health conditions would be a playing...

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@rachel_roesgen ...developing treatment and rehabilitation programs primarily for injured athletes. Do you feel they are truly well-versed as PTs are in treating patients of various demographics, with a multitude of conditions across body systems, in a number of diverse settings? #dpt770

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@rachel_roesgen Hey #RR! While I feel ATCs are capable of treating "active persons," most of the individuals they treat seem to be in higher-level, sports-related settings. ATCs treat within the field of Sports Medicine. Their scope involves applying protective devices, emergency care, and...

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

@saraleontis_spt less than 10% of their patients. What do you think this may say about the overall utilization of the rights of PTs and patients that make up bill AB1000? Was it truly effective?

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

Had a fun experience participating in the reliability testing for our research project. We are looking at the effects of trunk modification and hip extensor rate of torque development training programs on runners with patellofemoral pain. Week 1 down! #csulbdpt

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

In the midst of midterms...an important study to look at and keep in mind for myself and my classmates! Evidence of the benefits of exercise we can also communicate to our patients! #motionislotion #csulbdpt

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

There are few things as strongly consensus as the fact that exercise is good for the brain.

New study shows even just 10 minutes of mild exercise strengthens connections and communication between memory-focused parts of the brain in healthy young adults. https://t.co/C11wuVuMf1

[Reilly Retz @ReillyRetzSPT]

An interesting study looking at the effects comorbidities across the spectrum have on outcomes following hip arthroplasty. Something not only healthcare providers should be aware of, but the patients considering surgery as well. #csulbdpt https://t.co/IlT2XM0Rma
