Physiotherapy is a profession not a “treatment”

PTs are heath care practitioners with 6+ years post graduate studies

If the knee looks good, it probably is.
That includes ROM + dynamometry (don't guess, assess).
Local problems cause local inhibition, so good strength makes the knee less likely.
Post-activity knee pain + even a hint of hip history? Check the hips.

The Dunning Kruger concept is universal.
Mentoring can help flatten the curve so the fall into the Valley of Despair isn't so big.
Encouraging unlearning (or knowledge shelving) as well as learning, in the constant presence of a caseload, can do the rest.

@NickIlic_Physio @drjohnhaiti What fingers do you use to apply this palp pressure Nick? I use my 2nd/3rd fingers and just generally work my way down and then do the same but more laterally biasing into more of the paraspinal
muscles.

@adamdobson123 @BillingMartin Never let it stop you Adam. Keep up the great work. Creating content you are passionate about out, and sharing it with the world is something few have the confidence to do!

Be a clinician not a technician.

“once you give something a label it loses all meaning”

Something I remember reading from @thomas_jesson that’s rattled around in my head lately.

I think you said that at least Tom! 😂

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@thomas_jesson Just bought all 3! Have really enjoyed all the content you have put out over these last number of Years.

Keep it up. Love it.

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@thomas_jesson Can’t wait!

@NickIlic_Physio Once I have a finished product I will send it to you to check it out.

Trying to put together a master document of KEY palpation areas for Physiotherapists (boney landmark, muscle, joint, nerve, etc).

If anyone has ANY resources for ANY area and is kind enough to share them with me I would greatly appreciate it! :)

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@NickIlic_Physio Yes! Totally. Master the "basics' before you worry about other stuff.

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@NickIlic_Physio Great tip! Makes it more fun for the practitioner as well.

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

The goal is not to just “re-hab” people.

It is also to help people “re-inhabit” their lives again.

Your rehab plan is only as good as your ability to articulate it to your clients.

Clear. Concise. Simplify. Simplify again. Simplify one more time. Email them a copy.

@DrJN_SportsMed Just thinking about this based on how deep those structures really are!

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@DrJN_SportsMed Thanks for the great thread James!

Question regarding the DGS.

People claim they can accurately dry needle the deep external
rotators to “release” muscle/“desensitize” the nerve.

In your opinion is it possible to even target these muscles accurately with that technique?

Our Neck Series: Part 3

The 3rd of our 3-part #ClinicalInsight series on the neck is on 'the stiff neck' - a standard unilateral stiff neck with rotation.

We discuss +ve responses to treatment & propose a simple treatment model.

@Flawless_Physio Improved active muscle stiffness?

[Tim Ireland @pttimdynamic]

@PTPintcast This is great advice. Thanks.
