*patient walks in the clinic without a mask*
*I approach them with a box of masks*
Me: “hi, do you need a mask?”
Patient: “well, I don’t NEED a mask”
Me: “let me rephrase that. Would you like to have therapy today?”

🙃 stop playing and wear a damn mask

Monitoring vitals continuously improves walking outcomes! If you don’t know how to monitor heart rate or blood pressure, ask a colleague and use these handy tools: https://t.co/kOFBXe7DJu #NeuroPT

You know you’re a PT student when... you make lumbar rolls out of your clothing while studying in the library 📚🙃

[Jackie Palmer @JA_Palmer_]

Forgot about the crowds at the hotel gym at 5am when you're at the national conference of 25,000 PTs 😂 #CSM2020

[Roy Film @RoyFilmDPT]

PT is a doctoral profession, not a technical one. If you merely want to learn protocols/algorithms, that era of PT is gone. If you ALSO want to know 'why', can deal with the "gray", and are open to reflective practice, you can become a highly-valued physical therapist. @APTAcsm

Studying for the boards is EXHAUSTING 😓 #roadtoDPT #grind 💪🏻

In this study now published in @PTJournal of persons 70 years or younger with #minorstroke, we found reduced balance (26%) and gait speed (33%) at one year follow-up https://t.co/Ur0iMgSUEX Thanks to @HegeIhleHansen @TWyller @jorunnlh @marieursin

I love this. My day too! Growth is always happening 💪🏻

Realest things I’ve ever read.

[Dr. Lindsay Durand Massumi, PT, DPT @lindsaymassumi]

Me on a date:
Guy: so what do you do?
Me: oh, I’m in PT school, I do some personal training, and then I work at a restaurant.
Guy: okay, but what do you like to do in your free time?
Me: study PT... go to the gym... work at a restaurant...

Check out this great shot of Daemen College Physical Therapy students rocking their blue on Wear Blue Day for National Parkinson's Awareness Month! It has been so great to work with Daemen during April!

PTs currently, are not part of the National Health Service Corp. All of us know the struggle of student loans.

We want PT to be added to the National Health Service Corp to help student loan repayment #APTAFAF

All you gotta do is laugh, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️

To go in to travel PT post graduation or to not.... #help
