High intensity resistance, explosive, aerobic, balance and mobility training should ALL be recommended to BOTH fit and frail older adults to reduce age related physical and cognitive decline! #CantGoWrongGettingStrong https://t.co/Qj1UvNgnB6
Oh hi!! 👋🏼
Yet another study affirms:
1. BMI *isn't* an indicator of health OR of fitness,
2. consistent exercise - NOT weight loss!! - contributes to a healthier, longer life🌟
3. Dieting <healthy habits
End fat shaming, check your stereotypes, change medicine 🙌🏼 #MedTwitter
Physician surprised about the potential of Physical Therapy after shadowing us in the clinic. ✅
It's 2021 & most of them aren't aware of what we do.
1 of many take-aways: get more medical residents to shadow PT's (outpatient, pelvic floor, pediatrics, neuro, etc.).
Well it’s been about 24 hours since I posted this. I’ve had people tell me I’m lying about protests and accuse me of having a god complex, but I have received ZERO death threats so far. Thank you anti-vaxxers for your restraint and maturity.
Athletes Overvalue:
- Sit Ups
- Side Bends
- Russian Twists
Athletes Undervalue:
- Loaded Carries
- Bird Dogs
- Single Leg RDL
As an athlete your end goal of “core work” should NOT be to “get a 6-pack” but rather improve your control of spinal mechanics to enhance movement
I was 14 y/o w/ a tibial stress fracture, left alone w/ no cervical spine exam after this fall. I competed in the Olympic floor final minutes later. @Simone_Biles 🤍 decision demonstrates that we have a say in our own health—“a say” I NEVER felt I had as an Olympian.
@DanielleAngulo4#PT582#TT patient preference is a MUST! How do you think this differs from tiger balm or KT tape in terms of pain and the theories that go along with that??
#PT582#EB Hippotherapy goes off the horse’s movement, relying on the pt’s reactions and anticipation to help with motor coordination. Pt population varies on a case-by-case matter, playing into how much assistance therapists provide as well. https://t.co/1JSjWMhZ4s
#PT582#AS Risk factors of tendinopathy are separated into intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Often, the 2 intertwine where load (extrinsic) influences the body’s internal tolerance and load capacity, playing a major factor in tendinopathy. https://t.co/6ghv110wgh
#PT582#TM Core stability is essential in every pt population. Training in all positions is recommended to meet their ADLs. Including props (ie pillows and stumps) when needed can help create another base of support during training. https://t.co/fDHY5bDNxu
#PT582#DA When using aquatics for cardiac rehab, exercise sessions should be short duration, low intensity, w/ gradual increases. Target HR should be 12-17 bpm lower than land-based, with continued monitoring of vital signs pre, during, and post exercise https://t.co/Waedj474Lc
