To those defending neck manipulation. Let me be clear when I say its not worth it, I mean for both patient AND therapist!

Putting aside if there is or isn’t causation… the facts are many lives have been affected forever due to a treatment that does little. Its just not worth it

Early mobilisation after surgical repair of small and medium sized rotator cuff tears have better post operative ROM and quality of life scores! 🤔 https://t.co/l6WgxdKiJa

Words & phrases to ban in rehab:

•Bone on bone
•Can’t
•Worst (insert joint) I’ve ever seen
•Weak
•Stop (insert exercise)
•Unstable
•You have the (insert joint) of an 80 year old

@Lentini_PT Just snorted. Was not expecting that. "Aggressive patellar mobilizations" 🤣🤣🤣 (also, this whole thread is perfect)

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

This analogy!! 🤩🤩🤩

[Nick Hoopes @NickHoopes_]

“The MRI was clean. You shouldn’t have pain”

“If I showed you a picture of a telephone, could you tell me if it was ringing?”

Patients are not their images. It’s not my job to determine if they have pain; it’s to help find out what may be affecting their pain.

@rcpointdujour @APTANeuroPT @mghihp It's another form of advocacy ❤️. Even in a big city, our mail carriers know each of us by name!

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@rcpointdujour @APTANeuroPT THANK YOU!! My PT school has sent me things in the mail with "Ms" on it too 🤢🤢🤢. Been trying to figure out who to write about it. THEY issued our DPT. @mghihp

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@Lentini_PT 🤢🤢🤢 and I have an iron stomach

AND HOW DO YOU SAY NON WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISES ARE BEST FOR A PATIENT WHEN WE WEIGHT BEAR ALL DAY.

@RanaAwdish Captivating 😍

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@Ally_Bove_ @EricRobertson Was wondering the same thing! 🤣🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@DrKai_DPT It's a fantastic question!! I asked this at the interview for my first PT job... They were clever and dodged the question by answering "it's a young company" and I fell for it. Be VERY careful and watch body language with this question. I burned out there. No exaggeration.

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@TheFinancePT @NickS_DPT BECOME the clinic owner, never forget burning out and into the ground as a new grad, and treat your people better. *Best. 😉

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@policy4pt 😍😍😍 thank you!!!

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

Considering framing this for clinic...

[Justin Moore @policy4pt]

I will die on the hill that the biggest effect on prognosis is not the method of treatment you chose but how well you treat and engage the patient as a person.

The best treatment approach is unlikely to work if the rapport isn’t there.

[Dr. CJ Mimee, PT, DPT, RYT @drcjmimee]

@DrJacobHarden @NickHoopes_ ... better that they stay overnight for a while 😍😍😍
