A thread on Nasal Breathing - Why it it is necessary for human function & performance

Travis et. al, 1996 found that breathing through the nose during aerobic exercise decreased perception of stress/intensity and significantly ⬆️ endurance...

@CooolBeaaans This is absolutely precious

@Maralhasanshahi I wanted to eventually start my own practice but decided to start before I graduated because I went into business with another PT. You absolutely need a PT/private practice/biz mentor if you're going solo! You got this!!

COVID Update December 16: Why you won’t hear me use the phrase “anti-vaxxer.” 1/

The humerus (arm bone) rests in its socket equivalent to the size of a golf ball on a quarter.

That is one of my favorite facts to illustrate how joints in the body that are made for mobility are inherently unstable.

The structures around it must provide integrity & stability

We NEED to stop glamourising overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn't something to be applauded.

Too many people wear their burnout as a badge of honour.

And it needs to change.

@MerciaPT Love this and love you, thanks for being my hype woman 🥺💙

Recently listened to a podcast about how our brains tend to be like velcro for negative experiences and teflon for positive ones

[Amy Hooper @hoopsDPT]

@CooolBeaaans Love you 💕

[Amy Hooper @hoopsDPT]

@isabellet08 You got this!! Keep showing up.

Hey #freshPT, if you made 1 person's life better in clinic today (even if that's "just" by being a healthcare provider who listens intently and really cares), you did a very good job. Feel it.

[Amy Hooper @hoopsDPT]

This week, instead of just focusing on what I can do better in clinic (which is my usual thing), I'm recalling moments I did a really great job and positive feedback I got from patients

Another reason to train abs in movement vs only as stabilizers:

“If the rectus abs (six pack abs) become dominant & the performance of the obliques becomes compromised, control of trunk or pelvic rotation is compromised as rectus abs can’t control rotation.”

Today I start my first outpatient ortho job as a physical therapist!! Whoa. Can't believe the day I've been working towards for 5 years is here. #freshPT
