@THE_P_O_D @I_amMukhtar Can you clarify “years after the fact”?

There’s still COVID

Legal mandate eliminated small pox.

Bodily autonomy used for something aimed at PUBLIC health is extremely different from a PERSONAL choice in having children

I’m not a fan on comparing the two as “bodily autonomy”

Extremely excited to share that my colleagues Prakrit Jain, Harper Forbes, and I, successfully photographed the only mammal species in California that had never been photographed before. Read the full story here: https://t.co/i4CjWAUjGb

@Bluernote @cybersaadone @jdub_deluxe @petergyang Self preservation. He gained 20lbs. Your job is killing you. You leave.

You’ve been indoctrinated by the fallacy of hard work and capitalism

It’s not courageous to stick out a job that… benefit little people, killing him, and fucked his personal relationship with his career

@GroupGryphon @brent_peabody They campaigned against her. Her own party. It’s not popularity with voters, it’s popularity from peers

@smith_john46858 @_taximaroa @brent_peabody This… Katie Porter would still be considered on the global scale a right winged politician…

[Peter Nguyen @dptbirder]

@stevenjr76 @brent_peabody Finish your thoughts… pulling the us government further right allowing for previously right politicians to now fit into the Democratic Party…

@1000Steps @inminivanhell Cost of diamonds inflated by DeBeers. Cost of theme park inflated by Disney. Both not worth its price. Bad example

@inminivanhell @otiosebellicose Because we’re funding genocide in one country and war in another. While proxying away at China.

@FitFounder We don’t talk about the real pandemic or mask up. Don’t need to talk about silent ones when the real one is still going on. Historians are gonna look back and have a good ol laugh

The role of a physical therapist in treating migraines.
Because migraine is fundamentally a brain disorder, the involvement of physical therapists in its treatment might seem unnecessary. However, their contribution can be profoundly impactful, provided they have a keen interest in the nuances of migraine care.

One such physical therapist to whom I refer patients, Pete Schultz, just co-wrote an article, A Multimodal Conservative Approach to Treating Migraine: A Physical Therapist’s Perspective.

This article shows how experienced physical therapists approach migraine patients. They usually perform a very thorough examination and they can sometimes detect a serious problem that was missed by a physician.

The physical therapist often discovers general weakness, muscle tension, poor posture, diminished endurance, neck pain, teeth clenching, visual symptoms, dizziness, poor balance and coordination and high stress levels.

The interventions may include exercise directed at strengthening neck and upper back muscles, manual therapy, general conditioning exercise, biofeedback and mindfulness techniques, and vestibular therapy.

There is a wealth of data on the therapeutic effect of exercise in migraine patients. Interestingly, weight training seems to be more effective in the prevention of migraines than aerobic exercise.

Vestibular symptoms, such as dizziness and unsteadiness, are very common and are highly responsive to vestibular therapy.

Biofeedback is typically done by mental health professionals, but also by physical therapists. Over 100 clinical trials have been performed utilizing biofeedback in the treatment of headaches. The consensus is that this is a very effective technique.

An additional benefit that physical therapists can provide is what psychologist call a shift in locus of control, from internal to external. This means that instead of feeling like a victim of external uncontrollable circumstances, people acquire agency and cam actively do things to help themselves. This shift has been consistently shown to increase the efficacy of headache and pain treatment.

@AndrewVgx @carellijawn @freedome1379 @willtenadjang @BleacherReport Personal choice at the expense of public safety. It’s like why do use the toilet when you can literally have the urge at any time. Public health; look it up on your free time ✌️

@BrianSuttererMD He’s not a “young” player. He’s in the prime of his sport age. Should he not have this procedure and proceed to play in pain, compensating, and risking other injuries? No one’s downplaying, it’s a press release.

Last I checked, tissues heal, and with the right rehab, he’s fine
