Hey Peter- sadly you lost the recent primary (I voted for you), but fortunately this means you don’t need to promote cliché Republican talking points.

[Peter Meijer @PeterMeijer]

This was always the Biden administration’s plan: give something you cannot legally give, then make sure voters blame conservatives when it’s taken away.

In zero-sum politics, flagrantly violating the law has political upside.

@PTPintcast Pain is complicated!

@RonnieRad @smarcorodriguez @sc_shaffer @AaronMHarrison I cannot explain to you why I love Jayber Crow. I just do. Top 5 fav of mine.

Do you use the Timed Up From Floor Test?

It is such a powerful tool that tells you so much about your patient! I highly recommend it!

Search: “Confirmation bias”

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

A diagnosis of “Non specific low back pain” is a diagnosis of “I don’t know what’s wrong with your back.”

We can often uncover the cause of back pain, you just need to know how to perform a proper screening.

@JackDroppers @grdrive I was going to tag Ben Wallace on this, but he’s not on Twitter??????

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

It’s sad that we live in a country where white people have all of the power but they have been convinced they are experiencing all of the pain.

This needs to be on every major media outlet with AT LEAST as much airtime that they gave to false election fraud claims.

[Ana Cabrera @AnaCabrera]

JUST IN: The Republican-chaired Michigan Senate Oversight Committee just released a 35-page report rejecting baseless claims made by President Trump and his allies that the 2020 election in the state was fraudulent.

@roguepanda23 @Retlouping You are right I shouldn’t have mentioned isometric. What I meant to say was if they were simply holding that position statically it would be an isometric hip flexor contraction. But in the video referenced you are correct it is only concentric/eccentric.

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

@Colin_WidhuPT @Retlouping Yes totally. That’s the main part. I guess in my mind I was looping in the rectus as a hip flexor.

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

@Retlouping Sorry last example. Think of it as the hip flexor version of the adductor plank:

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

@Retlouping My patients with hip flexor strains are in pain when doing a plank, or a “dynamic plank” again this example.

As a #physicaltherapist I’m thankful for @SquatUniversity. Although there is debatable info posted from time to time - as a whole I have several friends from outside our industry learning more about health/wellness from this account.

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

Not all joints are created equal:

The knee joints are designed to move with load (a deep squat)

Your spine joints are not.

Mixing spinal movement + load (moving the back when deadlifting or a heavy Jefferson curl) is a recipe for eventual spine injury.

#GetVaccinated

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

For the 1st time since mid-June, the US 7-day covid case average drops below 25,000 ; hospitalizations below 26,000, and, without precedent here, test positivity drops below 2.4%.

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

Wow.

[Shematologist, MD @acweyand]

You only have to see one child with a catastrophic stroke following chiropractic manipulation to not be a fan.

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

Getting vaccinated is pro-life.

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

Is anyone asking the correlation vs causation question with single sport specialization in youth? Isn’t it possible that better athletes play multiple sports because they were ALREADY more athletic?

[Andruw Young, PT, DPT, OCS @innovatePT]

The overuse of “dystopian” is really getting to me.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

No vaccine passport. It doesn’t get much more dystopian than being required to show your “health papers” wherever you go.
