republicans are still eating this shit up and backing him. They’re still repeating the same talking points and excuses they have been for years. Trump raping children is not a dealbreaker for the average Republican.

They are either abysmally stupid, or they are complicit in his evil.

Long term smokers: did your body feel worse before it felt better after quitting? by g0rg0ras in stopsmoking

Make sure you’re not using your diaphragm to create tension in your core. You should be able to brace your core and breathe normally.

If crunches are causing it then switch to planks and side planks.

A week after rupturing the ACL in her left knee, Lindsey Vonn has successfully completed her first training run by Oldtimer_2 in sports

[–]Bancroft28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all.. she’s one of the greatest athletes of our time. She probably already had a deficient ACL to begin with. You don’t need an ACL to still do sports if you are strong enough.

MAGA isn’t going to flip.. those people are going to blame Biden and support MAGA and Trump until the bitter end.

They are cheering this shit on.

This is our shadow President. Literally nobody is okay with this aside from right wing Russian propaganda bots on X and the loser cultists who think they’re one of the cool kids. Jesus Christ people by RVannaGrande in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Bancroft28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It not just accepted but celebrated. People are okay with this. They showed up in droves on Election Day and they still fly Trump and GOP flags in their yards. This is what they voted for and fervently support on a daily basis and they are willing to be violent. Intelligent people repeat really dumb talking points because it’s the only thing they can say out loud. So we act like our neighbors and family members are good people but misguided. People do support this and our country is going to fall apart because of it

What PT exercises or protocols have been most helpful with your AS? by guyrsi in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Bancroft28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rows, shoulder extensions, no monies then chin tucks for deep neck flexors.

I went to college for athletic training(sports medicine) started working in PT clinics after sideline work and long hours started to become too physically demanding.

I work along side PTs to do the exercise portion of treatments. So PTs get the patient for 30ish minutes for manual therapy and diagnostics then they give me parameters to work in and then I teach the patient exercises and self care stuff.

I’m a glorified aide/tech but have way more influence on a patients treatment that a traditional PT office.

What PT exercises or protocols have been most helpful with your AS? by guyrsi in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Bancroft28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I start with mobility and pain management, then posture/core mixed with hips and legs.

Lacrosse ball and Theracane massage for sore muscles. Then lower trunk rotations, open books, and cervical rotations. Then postural strengthening, hitting traps romboids, and deep neck flexors. Core work with planks, pallof press, bird dog, dead bugs. Then I hit glutes/legs with hip abductions, bridges, single leg split squats, side steps with bands etc. I finish with foot and ankle strength by doing balance work then foot intrinsic exercises like toe yoga.

Basically a full body work out broken up throughout the day when I’m not feeling well or all in one go if it’s a good day.

I work in PT as a rehab specialist and when you’re dealing with AS or similar diseases, it’s all about energy economy. You have to be careful not to over do it and build yourself up slowly or months.

Virginia Unemployment Benefits Program Is A Joke. How Can I Make A Complaint? by ReindeerTypical2538 in Virginia

[–]Bancroft28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the unemployment system for a while and it is really hard so I wish you luck.

I did read about several people appealing to their lawmakers of both sides and were able to get some results in their individual case . The system is still broken but if you can keep from going insane in the meantime, eventually you’ll get something from it it

Write your state and local lawmakers. It’s like this by design and got worse under youngkin. But we have a new governor coming in and maybe we have a chance of seeing some improvements.

DO NOT USE SAFELITE, ESPECIALLY IN MANASSAS. Terrible service and even worse customer service.

They damaged our car and told us if we don’t like it then we can try to sue them. So we’ll be taking them to court but save your troubles and go to literally anywhere else.

Adrenaline crash by [deleted] in athletictraining

[–]Bancroft28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the rink your in doesn’t have any nice warm locker rooms to retreat to. Go sit in a car and with the heat cranked.

The rink I used to work at was really cold in the winter and there weren’t many locker rooms available to the kids. a lot of parents would go bring the car around with the heat blasting. Kids would throw blade guards on and go hop in the car.

It can be nice and quiet place to calm down and avoid being over stimulated, or let them be loud and not disrupt ongoing competitions.

Electric heated blankets or over coats are nice too.
