With only slight exaggeration @KJCarpenterDPT has been a life saver. I recommend her @MendColo 1,000%! @jpride @NealPalles @WolfmanHorsecow

The Cure for Sore Muscles? More Movement. shar.es/1mCLW8. Suppressing the body's inflammatory response can delay healing. #training
salivating over an entire #JOSPT issue dedicated to #running this month! Get ready for some good information! #PhysicalTherapy
#JOSPT running: "If one more PT, chiro or MD tells me one leg is longer, I walk out" "Haven't we thought of something better in 30 years?"
Opioids worsen chronic pain. Called opioid induced hyperalgesia. Why do we manage patients with chronic pain this way? #painproblems
PTs treating pts with LBP while PT also experiencing LBP - although therapist pain is worse than pts pain, lack of threat=minimal disability
Study of collegiate basketball players showed significant findings on MRI in 35% of players without knee pain.

just a refresher: 40% of people with no back pain have bulging discs. Disc bulges re-absorb. Once a bulging disc not always a bulging disc.
do you use a spine model with a red "bulging disc" in your clinic? This heightens fear in your patients, get rid of it! #brainandpain
