It's been a great 12 weeks treating our patients in CSULB neuro probono clinic! All of our patients made so much progress. #csulbdpt

Good description of what being a PT entails. #csulbdpt https://t.co/7xVQge33eh

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@TMarcoly_SPT Yes, one pt did not like to be touched. To correct her form for exercises I instead showed her the correction on myself. I've found that picking up on their body language and asking them directly their preference is important #csullbdpt #dpt770 #TM

There are many specialties that PT offers. Pediatric PT takes a special skill to recognize what motor skills are lacking for a child's age and how to address them #csulbdpt https://t.co/WCnlbkWW1R

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

PT is much more than exercises and hands on care. PT provides education on the condition, appropriate positions, and much more to improve the patient's quality of life. https://t.co/EEV4VlD30S #csulbdpt

Physical therapy can help in so many different ways. Even years after being hit by a car, PT continues to help this boy recover. #csulbdpt

@jepperson_spt This is important in order to save patient's with money and time. So as a future PT it is necessary to spread the word of this access as well as be knowledgeable of what falls under our scope in order to keep the patient safe as well. #JE #csulbdpt #dpt770

Amazing to see how PT can change someone's life #csulbdpt

Opioid bill passing is a good step in the right direction for better pain management. #csulbdpt

Physical therapy is not only important in recovering after injury in sports but also preventing injury by addressing impairments that resulted in the injury. #csulbdpt #dpt770 https://t.co/6JhoGjMKQY

@VGiacaloneSPT I think the basis for the ACA is one that should be implemented in the next health care reform (Increasing the number of insured Americans) However, poor execution of ACA seems detrimental to PTs with less time with each patient to bring in more patients/day #csulbdpt #dpt770 #VG

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@Olivia_Maiocco Everyone having access to health care sounds like a dream! However, to cover everyone that would be a large increase in taxes. Do you think overall the benefits would outweigh the added taxes? #csulbdpt #dpt770 #OM

Physical therapy after breast cancer surgery may help to reduce lymphedema and restore function sooner by educating patients and getting them moving. #csulbdpt #dpt770

It's cool to see how different types of technology can be used in physical therapy!

@buenaventuradpt @RachelFoust_SPT I agree that a PT can certainly do all of those interventions as well. I think that chiropractors and PTs have a different focus for their intervention due to what they specialize in, however both are able to promote function. #csulbdpt #dpt770 #JB

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

Many people consider chiropractors just for spinal manipulation. However, chiropractors provide other services such as myofascial work, exercises, modalities, and acupuncture in many states. Do you feel that chiropractors are able to restore function like PTs? #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@AndrewleeDpt @buenaventuradpt @RachelFoust_SPT I totally agree! Most don't even know that PTs require more than just a bachelor's degree. We need to do a better job promoting our role as PTs. #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@bengerami_spt I agree that PTs and chiropractors have different focuses. I think that is the beauty of the health care system. It allows for health care providers to focus and provide specific care to a certain area of health #csulbdpt #dpt770 #BG

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@LoriLabbate I agree! They are also required to maintain a certain amount of hours of continuing education each year so they stay up to date with what is most effective #csulbdpt #dpt770

[Brittany Bryars @britbryars_PT]

@RachelFoust_SPT I haven't gone to see a chiropractor so I can't say from personal experience if they do or not. From hearing about other people's experiences, they do provide some exercises but there could be improvement on their approach to promoting compliance #csulbdpt #dpt770 #RF
