Pt scores a 66/66 on FABQ; however talks about going out all day and participating in act. Must address fear avoidance thoughts.

[Lilly @chachalilly]

How do you differentiate between bursitis and tendonopathy within the shoulder. Would you treat them differently?

[Lilly @chachalilly]

To improve lumbar stability what is your opinion on abdominal bracing vs abdominal hallowing? #lowbackpain #instability #TA #abdominals

Pt replies with "I always learn a lot when I come here." The power of pt education #ilovePT #educating #neverstoplearning

Where can the suprascapular n. be impinged?Common entrap site? Can atrophy occur only in infraspinatus w/out supraspinatus atrophy as well?

Had a pt telling people he had turf toe because he couldn't pronounce plantar fasciitis #pteducation #limitedf #naviculardrop #noturftoe

Fear avoidance can play a large impact on pt's ability to succeed. Therefore making goals that are easily obtainable early on is important.

[Lilly @chachalilly]

Realized that you have to be strategic of the order of tx/ therex for a pt who has postural hypotension #dizzy #organize #planahead

[Lilly @chachalilly]

Common theme of the day. Chronic pain/ fibromyalgia pts telling me that their MD said its all in their head #omg #inappropriate #ohno!

[Lilly @chachalilly]

Having a pt that is germaphobic can make them challenging to treat.

[Lilly @chachalilly]

@aimBrightPT replacing the work pain and negative thoughts with something she liked/enjoyed

[Lilly @chachalilly]

Chronic pain pt fixated on pain. Told her we must eliminate the word "pain" during tx sessions. #happythoughts #relax

[Lilly @chachalilly]

@joonmyoh you can ask them "if their frequency in using the bathroom has increased/ decreased lately?"
