Why do I refer to every child's mother as "Mum" in physio... and never use "Mum" in any other context in life😅 ... "Attended with Mum who expressed concerns...". "Phoned Mum and left message"

@Irish_Physio It's even better that the second tweet got more ❤️s than the original 😂 clearly lots of people empathising with that

[Aoife Leahy @TheHandPhysio]

@Irish_Physio I laughed a lot at this 🤣

your rap name is "lil" + the last diagnosis you made

Starting by asking things like "what makes your health important?" "What do you want better health FOR?". Moving to areas they are drawn to working on first and picking realistic goals and action steps. Guiding to a goal that is behavioural not an outcome-based goal.

@iangattphysio @OThandtherapist My bias as a physio has always been actually the more psychosocial side of things and very much function/ADL led. So if anything I think it helps me to work on the more biomechanical anatomy side to know it well too ☺️ loved your series on physionetwork on the hand too 👌

[Aoife Leahy @TheHandPhysio]

Learning all about interpreting hand/wrist xrays for the next 3 days with #BAHT #handtherapy

[Aoife Leahy @TheHandPhysio]

@iangattphysio @OThandtherapist Absolutely with you on that! Absolutely no point treating the image by itself be it xray or mri. But it's great refreshing anatomy and understanding for acute injuries

[Aoife Leahy @TheHandPhysio]

@OThandtherapist Already been so informative! Loving the visuals and drawing things out.. starting to make slightly more sense to me what im looking at 🤣

👂 = hearing

👂 + 🧠 = listening

@DrSelvarajah @GatesPhysio I will never forget seeing a case of this a few years ago. 25 year old personal trainer. Doesn't it impact vit b12 and that's how it impacts the spinal cord? Awful. They get approx 20 sec high from it and he had zero coordination and balance but full power.

An excerpt from my talk last night at our team education night on management of acute hand/finger injuries. Trying to increase awareness and get some referrals into Hand Therapy

@adrianctully I know! I just thought it was lovely for a doctor to realise and mark it 😄 happy nurses day whenever it is 🤣

[Aoife Leahy @TheHandPhysio]

Apparently yesterday was #WorldPhysiotherapyDay and our lovely Clinical Lead (a Doctor) knew this 😍 small gestures are the best gestures
