I must have said "I'm stronger than I look" at least 10 times today as a patient or family member questions my ability to help them mobilise. #physioproblems

Just in case we needed more evidence for the benefits of early mobility in a critical care population.

@drjohnrusin To make physical activity sustainable for people the first step is making it enjoyable which may involve learning new skills and games.

Two days into having a new PT student and I'm not sure who's learning more! Teaching is such a great way to check your own knowledge. #physiotherapy #clinicaleducation #learning

@hdevine161 We use MI:E all the time for our ventilated patients at VGH ICU and it works really well! We just won't disconnect the vent to implement if the PEEP>10 or FiO2> 50%.

One of our patients making great progress within a coordinated care rehab schedule in VGH ICU! Using the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool to monitor.

Exercise is probably the single best way to extend lifespan.

You need to exercise like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

Here's why.

In Vancouver General hospital critical care team we've been talking a lot about balancing slow ventilator wean breathing trials and physio mobilisation with our respiratory therapist.
Does anyone out there have any good ideas/research on this topic? #ICU #physiotherapy

And it's the semis tomorrow for Deborah Kerr as she wins her quarter-final.

No progression for Emily Lewis, who goes again in the K1 500m on Wednesday.

Now if anyone has a job for me in Vancouver that'd be great 😅 #Unemployment

Today was my last day working as a physiotherapist in GG&C and possibly Scotland. I've met so many great people to work with & be inspired by and want to take a second to say thank you to all my colleagues and patients I've learnt from. Its been a blast!

@PaulinaPhysio Enjoy NOT running today! Amazing job!

Far be it from me to infringe on anyones God given Democratic right to break their own hip but stay indoors if you can til this ice shifts. It’s lethal. 75% of our ED patients right now took a flier this morning
