In California, you can go directly to a PT for 12 visits or 45 days, whichever comes first, before needing to see... https://t.co/TPoDodA4Px

Finally got my patient to say her neck pain improved within a treatment! 5/10 -> 3/10 put it on the board.

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Saw my patient with MS today; Used her fitbit data to educate and set goals for energy conservation. I love technology!

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Pt told me her "is beginning to feel like a knee again" today! Always good to hear.

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

PT is like a box of chocolates, yesterday I had a pt with MS, and who knows what I'll get tomorrow! Got to stay prepared!

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Saw two peds patients at the same time today... So much respect for Pediatric PTs #chaos

My pt with plantar fasciitis returned with 0/10 pain today. Feeling awesome about today!

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Had a pt come in for his 2nd visit with increased foot pain, had a better subjective / movement analysis, led to a break through hopefully!

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Had a patient with >25 deg knee genu valgum bilaterally on Monday. Aggravating factor for knee pain is tennis. #amazing

[Michael Blackledge @mdblacklUSCDPT]

Drew up an initial evaluation template for clinical use this weekend. Came in handy with my thought process today!
