Exercise causes muscles to release a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the lungs. A new review article suggests that exercise may help prevent and/or reduce the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome which is a complication of COVID-19. https://t.co/NqB23nQ5Fp
Want to avoid jumping on clinical bandwagons? Habitually seek out evidence that contradicts your viewpoint - it leads to better decision making. Humans are hardwired to speculate. Challenging your ideas helps you recognize what you truly know & don’t before you act. #ptfam
Sipping coffee and listening to the birds this AM, and Matthew 6:26 popped into my mind. Some may need to hear this.
“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
Thank you to @RepRonKind and @RepWalorski for introducing the Primary Health Services Enhancement Act (HR 5693) in Congress. This bipartisan legislation expands patient access by adding PTs to Community Health Centers. #PTAdvocacy
Physical therapy is a critical tool for patients to manage chronic pain and recover from injury. I introduced a bipartisan bill to give Hoosiers an affordable and convenient option to improve their quality of life and find innovative ways to treat pain. https://t.co/4a9yZcyVSY
Hey #sportspt people! I just started working with a 15 yo O-lineman with goals of playing football in college. Complete isolated PCL rupture, no PLC damage. Looking for any good studies on conservative vs surgical intervention. Unsure of skeletal maturity. Thanks friends!
I had a patient a few months back who suffered vestibular loss due to gentamicin. It was a very tough conversation to have, knowing that his #vestibular nerve would not regain function. Stories like this are incredibly encouraging, knowing that new treatments are on the horizon!
3 months of exercise training reprogrammed the epigenetics of sperm DNA in healthy young men. Exercise silenced genes in sperm DNA involved in schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, cervical cancer,
leukemia, and autism. https://t.co/hge1xgdaYY
Please take a moment to remember that #MemorialDay isn’t just about grilling and bonfires.
So thank a veteran,
Thank an active duty member,
Thank a military spouse
Because the sacrifices they make allow us the freedom to take a day off work and enjoy time with friends and fam
@CapersPt I haven’t but thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look more into that. I have been able to use Lorimer Moseley’s explanation of pain with some patients and have found it to be beneficial!
A little light afternoon reading 🙃.
“Pain is particularly sensitive to the expectations of patients. The specific language used in preparing patents for procedures can affect the pain experience.”
Anyone else feel they could use some work in the language choices they use??
I’d like to share a very important message w/you about the current measles outbreaks in the US. This is a very contagious airborne disease that can be prevented w/the MMR vaccine. Please share this message & make sure you & your loved ones are vaccinated. https://t.co/XxJ0JSGlvr
My office is a strong supporter of alternatives to opioids such as #PhysicalTherapy which centers on movement, hands on care, and patient education. #BetterTogether@APTAcsm
