42 y.o. pt s/p patellar repair (7 wk) however has had multiple DVTs. He was currently on blood thinners and cleared for therapy, however I was still nervous treating. It took effort to get over my paranoia and now patient’s progressing very well and walking 4 miles on weekends.

42 y.o. patient coming in s/p ACL tear. Although this is one of the most common orthopedic cases, pt. also had a patellar reconstruction, which increases his sensitivity to pain due to location of incision. I appreciated the diversity in his case & progressing him as tolerated

92 y.o. patient coming in with back pain, however upon eval she has no pain at all! After doing a full eval, it turns out she has balance issues but walks 4 miles a day.

46 y.o. w/ LBP and C/s pain after scoliosis corrective sx in 1967 w/ Harrington rods. Pt gets deep and radiating pain in (B) hips and arms.

Really appreciated how even with a complex presentation, you could still treat with simple stretches, postural edu, and strengthening.

54 y.o. w/ bicep rupture 4 months ago. Has been progressing well, achieving full ROM and strength gains. However now presenting with numbness over thumb to mid forearm. Radial nerve entrapment likely but due to new insertion site of biceps or entrapment over Arcade of Froshe?

Vertical Talus Syndrome- Had my first peds pt on my schedule and I learned about this condition. Basically, the talus is oriented upward/downward, resulting in the row of bones in front to be positioned on top. This results in a rigid rocker bottom for the foot! @JasonCozby

Before performing a subscap STM, I told the pt. "you may feel some 'pinchy' discomfort, if it's too much just let me know". With surprise, he reported that usually after 5 yrs of practicing, PT's tend to lose their bedside manner and begin tx w/out warning the pt #ExplainB4UTreat
