Pre-health and pre-rehab services students: plastic this again. very much worth a listen if you’re looking to “work with athletes”
Was an honor to interview @RamsNFL PT & athletic trainer Dr. @JonHernandezDPT
AT/PT students/aspiring NFL employees should listen on repeat:
*his path
*How to do it
*NFL life
*a charity worth getting behind

“What advice do you have for not in healthcare looking to break into the NFL?”

Im never over on the Dark Side (PT Twitter) but thought this episode i did was worth sharing for students or those looking to make a leap into pro sports.

PT bloggers and “leaders”
Dis u?
A big reason, aside from endless arguments with no net benefit to patients, that I left PT Twitter.

This ... changes ... everything: hire us to help you & underprivileged children this Christmas: nitter.gq/FantasyPts/status/1334…
As 2020 comes to a close & the holidays approach, we want to give back. We know it's been a tough year for all, some more so than others...
50% of ALL purchases made from 12/4 thru 12/14 will go directly to @ToysForTots_USA!

> 50% of patients w/ low back pain who got PT "later" or not at all received an opioid script
~20% if they got PT 1st
But we're notoriously bad at promoting our services
If your closest friend/family member was asked to accurately describe what you do as a PT, could they?
I've been off PT Twitter for a little over a year now but I was perusing again tonight. Noticed a lot of "First Name Last Name, DPT" (I've been using that myself @FBInjuryDoc)
Did we or the APTA finally agree "PT, DPT" is silly and an alphabet soup? What did I miss? TIA
Serious question PT Twitter: Why the PT, DPT? Why not just PT? Why not just DPT? Both are protected. I’ve never seen physician, MD or PA, PA-C. Plz help me to understand.

After spending most of my time since last August # on my other account it's insane to me how clearly toxic PT Twitter is tbh.

If you've ever wondered how to fight for diversity AND inclusion in the profession ⤵️
Man! Shoutout to @ryansheltonPT for having @MerciaPT @EdwinPorrasSPT and myself on your live to discuss my blog “Code Switching” and DEI in the PT Profession! Had a blast! Would love to do again anytime!
Hype for this.
So thankful for @MMitchellPCS @MikeCroDPT @EdwinPorrasSPT @MerciaPT for helping create learning opportunities for students during this time!
Tomorrow we're covering DEI in Pediatric physical therapy as well as having a chat on Code-switching.
Join us!

Some $ ideas/resources for college students who are kicked out of dorms/lost a job etc:
1. Get a hold of ur university's financial aid department. Ask about the Emergency Student Fund. Most schools have one.
If you don't need it personally, let those who do know about it ASAP

🗣Fellow millennials: let's be nicer lol
Sat through 3 hours of "sacral torsion" & "sacral re-aligning" yesterday
I've come full circle: props to PTs who grew in that system
When new evidence emerged the rug was pulled out from under your feet & you basically had to re-teach yourself how to do your job
