Progress starts at home. Motivation & building a strong, open rapport with pts are critical elements for HEPs #PT676 https://t.co/9SupbNtZAe

Frozen shoulder can be difficult to dx. One key difference from other shoulder pathologies is loss of AROM and PROM #capsularendfeel #PT676

Even headlamps have a place in clinic! Interesting use of biofeedback to train deep cervical flexors & proprioception

@veronica_ase mistakes are just lessons for tomorrow! #wontmakethatonetwice

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@benoits12 and make your demonstrations clear! Pts will pick up on the smallest details

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@Physilya great point! Any way that makes the pt feel heard increases motivation and buy in #PTsnotdrillsergeants

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@Kevin_McEnroy I definitely agree! Even if I'm not thing them that day it will help thm to open up at future sessions

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@EricaHunter2VT I do too! It gives you a reference point for initial questions as well as an idea of what goals you want to work on

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@Kevin_McEnroy I've found empathy can be one of the best ways to increase motivation. Understand where the pt is coming from first #PT676

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@IHP_PTClinEd confidence is key For developing rapport and earning a pt's trust

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@EricaHunter2VT definitely agree with that! It's always reassuring to see that the interventions you've selected are making a difference

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

Never underestimate the value of test-retest. It can show the progress you've made (even in that treatment!) and help with pt buy-in #PT676

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

Sometimes mobilization is as easy as stabilizing a joint & having the pt perform deep breathing #PT676

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

Nothing beats the sound of a good manip! Make sure you take advantage of increased joint mobility & ROM immediately before the effects fade

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

Activating serratus anterior for upward rotation? Try OH punches instead of supine to avoid protraction & feeding into poor posture #PT676

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@ianmacmurdie any idea how to change that from twitter's mobile site? #tweetchatchaos #mypearlsareallmixedup

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

To squeeze in more time for tx during an eval, I take some of the subjective while I'm taking my objective measurement #multitasking #PT676

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@mjmiele I run into the same problem! Just remember what you don't address in the eval can always be covered at their follow up

[Sarah Morehouse @theSMOREyouknow]

@IHP_PTClinEd apologies for the delay! We're still getting the time zone difference down
