“You’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”
I believe this is extremely true for training
Are you in an environment of athletes who take their training seriously?
I promise, if you are you will become the best version of yourself
Receiving sound, patient-centered care is a right, not a privilege. As such, patients should feel empowered to be included in the decisions that impact their health and well-being, including choosing a clinician that best suits them. #ChoosePT https://t.co/LyV9ippv6A
The friendship and mutual support that formed between Olympian Shaun White and his PT, Esther Lee, is so inspiring and a beautiful example of the unique bonds that are created between PTs and their patients every day. https://t.co/b40aaYrOer
I think the continued story of our spines “going out” and not “being aligned” has probably done more unnecessary damage to people’s self image than just about anything else in healthcare.
Exercise is single-handedly one of the most useful interventions that healthcare providers can prescribe to treat an array of conditions, ranging from chronic low back pain to headaches. If you wish to manage pain and maximize your mobility #ChoosePT.
Exercise is Medicine, but is it REALLY?
Study shows that:

- 57% did not know how much resistance training is recommended.

The language that healthcare providers use is influential. The generalizations that are made in this article elicit fear with movement, and can be even more damaging to one’s health than the broad conclusions that are drawn here. Everyone walks differently, and that’s ok!
We stand for a future without racism, where we celebrate diversity, look at each other as equals and foster an inclusive environment where all feel welcome.
