@Dr_Ridge_DPT @sunsopeningband @christatrumbull You are correct 😅but I still find it incredibly useful for treatment and patient buy in. Obviously not a quick or easy solution

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@sunsopeningband @DawnMagnusson @Dr_Ridge_DPT @christatrumbull @GetPT1st @CPTAtweets Yes agree that simplicity is typically better

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@sunsopeningband @DawnMagnusson @Dr_Ridge_DPT @christatrumbull @GetPT1st @CPTAtweets True. But still how do you differentiate the two professions in a simple manner? Both are great at movement, but physical therapists generally have more background in physiology and much more schooling. How do we spread that?

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@sunsopeningband @DawnMagnusson @Dr_Ridge_DPT @christatrumbull @GetPT1st @CPTAtweets Agreed that it needs to be simplified because it really isn’t that complicated. It is a collection of systems that affect your movement. That’s probably still above 4th grade level but most should get that

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@sunsopeningband @DawnMagnusson @Dr_Ridge_DPT @christatrumbull @GetPT1st @CPTAtweets Is this a grade in school or what scale?

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@sunsopeningband @DawnMagnusson @Dr_Ridge_DPT @christatrumbull @GetPT1st @CPTAtweets I agree that those are both good. But in comment to “physical therapists can improve the way you move”, can’t trainers do this too? What differentiates physical therapists? I think that answer can be the movement system

[Matt Mastenbrook,DPT @mjmaste]

@Dr_Ridge_DPT @sunsopeningband @christatrumbull From the movement system we can create diagnoses (I already know you disagree on this). But for example: the dx of anterior knee pain presents so many different ways, so a movement system dx is helpful for proper treatment
