I don’t share much on here BUT this 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

Good physio is not about doing extraordinary things!

It’s about doing basics things in extraordinary ways!

Listening. Caring. Helping

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

Just found this on the RACGP website 😬 might be time for some education to the @RACGP please @apaphysio so that we can ensure there is not unrealistic expectations!!

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

Testing is crucial and important to ACL Rehab and RTS - BUT testing WITHOUT excellent clinical reasoning is not going to get your patient to where they want to be! But hey sexy tech on social medial might increase your popularity - but does it help your patients?

Wednesday SoapBox 🧵1/4

I see “testing is essential in ACL Rehab” plastered all over Instagram - Isn’t is important that you are able to take clinical information obtained via testing and make a good clinical decision? 🤔🤔🤔

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

🧵3/4
Recent 2nd opinion pt - nervous about RTS, surgeon was happy, had “testing” done using tech, and no consideration of the swollen knee or the patient’s concerns. On Ax performance testing was good; but his ACL-RSI low. Surgeon (& pt) happy to hold off until satisfactory!!

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

🧵2/4
I never, ever see a physio use a picture of them using their hands to assess swelling OR a PROM on these posts, only a high tech device or iPad

Day 1 of 2 ✅ of ACL Rehab & RTS Done….. now time to partake in some 🎾

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

Check extension of the ACLR Knee - but make sure you are not doing CPR of the knee @enda_king @sportsmapnet

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

How do we know how much is too much load in ACL Rehab? The knee will tell you - how do they feel the next morning?? #SportsMAP

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

The Standards we set for RTP in ACL injuries matter - both in function AND symptoms #endaking

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

ACL RTP - each member of the rehab team will have different KPI’s for RTS
#endaking #sportsMAP

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

Any insult to the Knee has consequences - whether that be a traumatic knee injury or a surgical intervention. We need to consider these consequences when planning Rehabilitation. #endaking #sportsMAP

Day 1 - ACL Rehab & RTP Decision Making 🔥🔥 @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia https://t.co/8Se2JeXRdn

[Zoe Russell @physizo]

@PhysioArmstrong @davidkpope Hi @PhysioArmstrong 👋🏽 Hope you enjoyed the episode! I tend to use Zinc Oxide, and if it is an acute sideline injury, I will use foam to pad around the malleoli to prevent effusion - you just need to make sure it is not too tight, and give your patient your standard warnings!
