@drrachelrubin @AshleyGWinter @JenniferARegala 'Something Bad’ isn’t just the answer, it’s also what happens if you don’t time your bathroom break (thanks to @RunPee)

[Michael Mindrum, MD @MichaelMindrum]

🙅‍♂️ Saying “eat less, move more” is like telling someone with asthma to “breathe better.” It oversimplifies, stigmatizes, and blames people for a condition largely out of their control. Science demands better. #HealthStigma

Patient today with an insurance from the exchange, i.e. Obamacare, couldn’t stop gushing today about how she loves Trump and how she hopes he wins in a landslide. Now I never talk politics to patients, but I muttered as I left the room “he wants to end your access to healthcare.” She didn’t believe me. I reminded her that he took it to a vote 5 times when he was last president and John McCain saved it. She still didn’t believe me.

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

Physiotherapy should be about helping people do more with their pain, not just attempting to make their pain less!

And by helping someone in pain do more it often makes their pain less!

Winner winner… chicken dinner! 👍

What does individualized care really mean? 👇

[Ben Cormack @CorKinetic]

A common phrase I hear in rehab is “individualising” exercise programs

It is often believed that this means the sets & reps or the specifics of a program

Maybe, it should relate more to the PERSON….But how?

You need pelvic floor physical therapy.

You.

That’s right. You have a pelvis. It needs a coach.

I am never wrong on this.

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.

Reminder that supplements, even if they are “natural” & “organic,” ≠ healthy or safe

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

Dietary supplements are NOT regulated the same way that pharmaceuticals like antibiotics and cholesterol medications are.

People have DIED from supplements (example: ephedra herbal weight loss products).

THE OVERSIGHT OF SUPPLEMENTS IS POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY ENFORCED

[DJ Stieber DPT, CSCS @dpt_coach_dj]

Hot take: The standard attire for PTs in outpatient/sports ortho should NOT be khakis and a polo. I don't know how I did it for so long. We're trying to get people to move. Athleisure is completely acceptable and frankly, patients don't care as long as we connect & help them.

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

OMG PEOPLE stop using "pussy" as an insult of weakness. Vaginas were literally designed for intense contact sports. Your weak-AF body part is a goddamn scrotum.

One of my referring MDs told my patient “I don’t know what they do… I just know it it’s a thing” (for her pelvic pain) -

[TravoltasBodyDouble (MD!) @alexsilver44]

@AshleyGWinter During a uro-gyn clinic I rotated in for a day, after our 5th pelvic floor physio referral of the morning, I asked my attending what exactly they do in pelvic floor physio. She…was not able to answer me very clearly lol.

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

Ok clearly I need to get y'all obsessing over pelvic floor PT like vaginal estrogen because it's that life changing.

Some men: If there are so many cases of sexual assault then why don’t women report them?
