Understand what kinds of interventions are appropriate to experience some pain and which ones should be pain free. # knowledge #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@David_Bach almost exclusively #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@Kevin_McEnroy they say "I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government,
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement"

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@Kevin_McEnroy you know what they say...#attitudes #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@DonnaApplebaum don't just look at the age and make assumptions about what exercises they can and cannot perform #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@AllisBecky i had a 95yo and a 96yo back to back today. amazing patients

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Don't let a pt's age depict how you treat them, everybody presents differently! #attitudes #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@Kevin_McEnroy and I are in the same clinic, we often practice our #skills on lunch #pt676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@crelliott_IHP Good question my friend, i do document during evals

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Time management! Take advantage of down time to ensure timely documentation. #skills #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

When working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders make sure to remain patient and keep things simple and fun! #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Remember the basics! Ask pts for permission before putting hands on them, one person is not always as comfortable as the next. #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Don't be afraid to contact your pt's MD, information can easily be misunderstood coming from a script or a pt. #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Pt with cubital tunnel syndrome and neural tension will benefit from a progressive stretching program to reduce numbness/tingling #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Educate the pt about their dx/health condition during eval and always use pt friendly language! #Tweetchatwrapup #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@margaret_alice_ JUST DO IT!

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

What are some strategies you guys use to ensure pt compliance with HEP? #Justdoit #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

@iancahir @Kevin_McEnroy @KossakSasha remind the pts of the things they can do or the gains they made. #fliptheswitch #PT676

[Colin O'Connor @coconnor910]

Try to lead pts to answers rather than just telling them. this assesses your teaching and your pts learning. #PT676
