Rehab Timelines in MSK care:
The #1 most common question I receive during a course of care is:
“How long?”
“How long until I get better? How long will the pain last? How long until I can return to sport? To work?” Etc etc.
Here’s the answer I like to give:
Committee: You should schedule tough non-conference games.
FSU: We beat LSU and Florida.
Committee: You should really be a Power 5 conference champ.
FSU: We won the ACC.
Committee: You should be undefeated.
FSU: We’re 13-0.
Committee: Lol, you’re not gonna believe this..
I can’t wait to share the story of a kid who suffered an SCI and was then discharged by a renowned neuro hospital system for “plateauing”
Mostly because they were on their parents plan.
Who was an employee of that hospital.
And were pushed to go on MCaid by hospital employees.
5 Things I Share w/ all my students:
1. My salary
2. Our general reimbursement rates as a small company
3. What larger companies/hospital systems get reimbursed
4. What I know people in those larger systems make.
5. Revenue v Salary
It’s always enlightening for them.
This may look like your typical TD run until you realize North Dakota State had FOUR fullbacks in the game on this play.
It’s beautiful.

Our coaching staff saw close to 30 HS games this weekend. One thing we all agreed was missing: passion.
Not fake, clout chasing, show up the opponent stuff. Genuine passion. Dudes that love to play the game and play it hard.
Want to get on our radar? Show us you love the game.
Continuously told someone, who is a nurse, that her "bursitis" presented more like a radiculopathy. She scoffed, said the NP diagnosed her otherwise. They did no tests, just poked her hip & called it that essentially.
ortho doc later confirmed L5 radiculopathy🤦🏼♀️
DPT ≠ respect
I had an 18yo patient today who told me that most of her knee issues were a result of her hips being “out of alignment” and she would “always have problems”
Which she was told by a PT.

A common course of PT for LBP is about 7 visits; With a $50 copay that’s $350. That’s a car payment. A $100 copay brings that to $700. That’s a Jaguar payment. But, a 1-month supply of pills often comes with only a $10 copay. High PT copays drive people to opioids. #opioidcrisis
