[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@scottcarlinpt Yeah, totally agree. It's a tough mindset to break that people (even physicians ) just assume laying around is the thing to do when they get injured. I think that's our calling as PTs to show them what they CAN do while injured and to provide an environment where it can happen.

@robertlufkinmd Multifactorial:
-HFCS, artificial sweeteners
-Bad info from gov't/food pyramid
-powerful lobbyists in food industry suppressed info regarding harms of simple carbs
-more office jobs, less manual labor
-increased globalization, processing of food
-family dynamics; more eating out

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@DerekGriffin86 @FitFounder Maybe so, but I see no harm in a fitness enthusiast demo'ing some exercises that can help.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@NCrunnerjacky I think your mental stamina is even more impressive than your physical! Indoor tracks and treadmills.... 🤢🤮

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@DerekGriffin86 @FitFounder I don't really disagree with that... But for the lay person with LBP the info on Twitter has to be general and practical. If people need a professional multifaceted approach they can see a PT in person. Getting strong not always the magic bullet, but it helps a good portion!

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@DerekGriffin86 @FitFounder That's not really what the original tweet said. It said it is multifactorial (true) and a good number (whatever that means) from weakness

Often tough to know causes of LBP, but common sense, lots of clinical experience says that moving and strengthening is probably gonna help

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@DerekGriffin86 @FitFounder Not everything that works has scientific literature backing it up.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@karmannptny @ryansheltonPT @APTAtweets Name a physical therapy practice owner, business, or hospital that pays female therapists less than males who are doing the same work. I have yet to find one.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@ryansheltonPT @APTAtweets I've just never seen it happen. I know a lot of PT owners who all pay based on performance/ experience, and not based on gender. Have never met ont that doesn't
Not seeking to argue, but I think you're missing the point that men are different than women and seek different goals

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@ryansheltonPT @APTAtweets You could also argue there is a pay disparity in other fields that favor women.
Or you could argue there is a disparity that men are much more likely to die in workplace accidents.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@ryansheltonPT @APTAtweets If that works in your clinic, that's great.

I believe we should pay employees based on their performance and exchange with the company, and don't feel that should depend on gender (or race or anything else).

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@ryansheltonPT @APTAtweets Currently no female therapists on our team but that will hopefully change soon. Our pay structure is based solely on production, and I can't fathom paying people differently because of their gender.

If it was apples to apples in your clinic, would you pay them differently?

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@JessicaLRose90 @Thepiposhow @PiaJSigler @iron_will_pt @DoctorTro Yep... You'll find plenty of extremists on Twitter, especially in the world of nutrition.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@hjluks I hope I am wrong, but I often get the vibe a lot of Ortho docs don't observe gait, but just go off of special tests and imaging.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@JessicaLRose90 @Thepiposhow @PiaJSigler @iron_will_pt @DoctorTro Yes, not suggesting they are bad or unhealthy, it's just a known fact that blending up fruit spikes sugar a little more than eating it whole.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@Thepiposhow @PiaJSigler @iron_will_pt @DoctorTro Smoothies spike blood sugar and insulin more than eating fruit whole.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@voicesunheard What a precious photo of your newborn ❤️. I'm glad things worked out and that you were firm with your decision.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@scottcarlinpt Yep, strength training is a much better use of time.

[Dr. Mullet @TheMulletPT]

@hjluks We use it on most of our ACL patients and Achilles repair patients.

Sometimes I put it on myself to remind me of what it feels like, and yes, it is indeed intense!
