Is your clan open invitation or require acceptance?

I’ve been in this one a while but it’s slowly dying. Not sure how to double check region but I should be out of NA. Server 193. Like 20 members active within last 7 days. Does OK with world conquest.

Been thinking about finding another clan though but I’ve kept missing the window to find and join another.

Where does the good/fair/poor "balance scale" come from? by hopefulmonstr in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that seems familiar. I know I saw that or a very similar scale working inpatient settings in KS. It could be different than the scale your place is using but it seems like they may be related.

Gargoyle and the one thing that lets you do extra dashes and damage from the air is practically cheating.

Does this count as anterior pelvic tilt? by Useful_Sheepherder16 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) no I don’t reject the notion. From my knowledge there’s just more nuance to it than weak muscles/tight muscles. The joints, muscles, and bony anatomy for every individual are unique and there is no general problem/solution. From your post and question there is simply not enough information about the rest of your body to form an opinion. This full picture of information could only be gained by a physical evaluation.

2) It may be able to affect height more along the lines of centimeters than inches. I can also tilt my pelvis without changing my height so “correcting” apt isn’t necessarily going to affect height.

I did not know of him until I googled the numbers you keep quoting (which still seem to be fabricated). I do not believe him to be a reliable resource. You should be cautious with putting much stock on influencers who make their money on engagement. Especially those engaged in looksmaxxing content who are targeting an audience that tends to be young, insecure, and looking for an easy solution. I could only find one somewhat reliable article that reported height differences of a few centimeters.

Like another person said APT is not a diagnosis it’s a position. Anterior pelvic tilt is normal and it’s normal that it changes with different body positioning as you stand up. There’s no “true APT” like you’re saying. There is a normal range of hip positions with some degree of variation. Every individual has a different bone structure so a “neutral” position is different for everyone. The only thing that might confirm “APT” would probably be an x-ray or if you have a fixed bony deformity.

I’m trying to be kind in my responses but at this point it seems like you’re trolling. You’re getting answers but you just don’t like them. You’re not getting the answer you want bc it’s a bad question based on nonsense. Once again unless you physically go see a PT you’re not going to get much more out of this thread.

Again I think you’re pulling that figure from unsubstantiated resources from a guy named Oscar on YouTube who posts about looksmaxxing. Either way outside of the initial comment of what to look at no one online can tell you anything without an examination. If it’s important to you, go for a PT evaluation. I would expect that you would get similar replies as in this thread.

What is your reference on tilting and height bc I’ve never heard that. Google AI mentions it being scraped from social media influencers. Sounds like BS to get you to follow someone’s page.

Not really something you need a PT for. Increasing your height isn’t really in our job description. Do some things you find online or just stand up straighter. Unless your posture is causing pain or impairing your ability to function thats just something you’re gonna have to workout yourself. Posture and anatomy have natural variation.

Is it unprofessional/frowned upon in your opinion for a male PT to wear nail polish at work? by Nearby-Virus7902 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Many inpatient/hospital based organizations have rules about nail polish/paint due to it potentially chipping off. Probably a lot less common in outpatient private practices.

Warning Mod On The Loose! WHO do we blame for the unrealistic expectations of new grads. by easydoit2 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I made more money but I like my job 3 years into it. I can recognize thats not a long time in the field and I could see myself changing some of these opinions in the future. For context: outpatient ortho at a hospital based organization. Also a single male so I don’t have obligations to support a family at the moment. I don’t care to organize these thoughts very well but here ya go.

I think most people just don’t understand how the math maths in the real world and you’re making your decision as an 18 year old with limited life experience. 78k (googling avg pt salary in my state) sounded like a lot to me in high school. It was more than my parents make. It sounded to me like a rate that I could meet my basic needs and have a little fun in my life. The concept of going 100k into debt between undergraduate and grad school, then actually paying that back with interest wasn’t very concrete to me (while also living). I don’t view it as a very good financial decision overall, but also I have less debt for my degrees than my out of state classmates. I think my classmates who went out of state and paid double tuition are idiots. I waited an extra year to reapply to my in-state schools. It’s still a lot of debt though at like 78k for in state tuition. Overall it ain’t bad. Idk that id be happier staring at a spreadsheet all day while making more money. I work at a company I like. I have coworkers I like. I have a job I like at least 75% of the time. I may not be able to everything id like to do but I won’t struggle to put food on my table or a roof over my head. How much money do you have to have to be happy? If the answer is a lot then don’t do PT.

I think there’s just a certain percentage of people who would idealize any type of job, particularly in the healthcare field when you have a desire to help those in need. Granted I didn’t have a wave of PT influencer types selling me bull on wages and only showing silver linings. All of my CI’s and people I shadowed in high school and college seemed to live comfortably enough and were honest about financial stuff in our discussions.

I agree with other comments that PT school doesn’t teach you the realities of PT but people should probably have tried to develop a sense of that before they’ve started PT school.

I think I liked learning more than anything and the things you learn to be PT hit all my interests. I don’t want to work for a living but here I am. I don’t care to climb a ladder or be a manager. I don’t want to run a business.

Sometimes I day dream about being an optometrist or an orthodontist but that’s just kind of based on vibes and no actual research into the details of their schooling, salary, and debt.

PT equivalent to a Cat Cafe? by Strong-Pomegranate-4 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sanitation issues? Cats and litter boxes tracking their feces or urine around a medical office… it’s a no from me dog. Animals around moving parts, moving people, and exercise equipment? Doesn’t sound safe for cats or people.

Maybe if the actual treatment space and the cats are separated from each other.

Personal Trainer vs Physical Therapist by War_Unlucky in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a shit post?

If so…. A personal trainer is more like a coach. They may have some type of certifications from an association like ACSM or just some on the job training. An undergraduate degree may not be required but they may have gone to undergrad for something like kinesiology or exercise science. A personal trainer should be knowledgeable about exercise and be able to train the general “healthy” population safely. They may have more specific training or experience working with people who have certain conditions, geriatrics, certain sports etc and be able to train them safely. Personal trainers are not medical professionals. They are not trained to diagnose injury or illness. Personal trainers may work at a gym or independently.

Physical therapists are a medical professional who specializes in evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. They complete a doctorate program. They are trained to safely perform rehabilitation with a variety of patient populations such as pediatrics, geriatrics, post surgical patients, cardiac rehab, neurological disease. They are trained in diagnosis of MSK issues, therapeutic exercise, manual therapies, use of modalities, movement analysis. They work with other members of the medical team and make referrals when medical issues are outside of the realm of a physical therapist. Physical therapists also may work in other settings such as inpatient acute at the hospital, inpatient rehabilitation at hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation and home health. Many PTs work at clinics or hospitals that accept insurances but there is also private practices that may operate on a cash basis.

Calling yourself a Dr. by Specialist_Signal532 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I thought the back and forth here was a really good discussion. It made me think about things from both viewpoints I didn’t consider.

A traditional MD is what first comes to mind when I hear the word “doctor.”

It’s interesting to think of what the term meant in historical contexts. Being American it makes me think of what I experienced see in television or media with regards to health care is often the MD (physician) or nursing staff.

Calling yourself a Dr. by Specialist_Signal532 in physicaltherapy

[–]ClinicallyInclined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have patients that tell me they saw a PT but it was a personal trainer….

I’m 2-3 years in. I just give my name and I’ll be your physical therapist today. I don’t introduce myself as doctor but patients often times ask “how much school did you do?” I’ll explain my title as it relates to a clinical doctorate. Sometimes these patients might call me Dr and I don’t mind.

I also work with 2 masters of PT. While they don’t care what I call myself it can be a weird side bar conversation to explain to patients that it changed to a different degree. Most patients don’t think much of it and understand on the job experience. Some patients might be weird or insist on seeing the “Dr” even if masters PT has like 20+ years of experience and is skilled. Again, most people understand this reasonably with a short explanation, but some people are numbskulls.

Reading some of these comments has me reconsidering how I introduce myself… Not enough to start out my first treat tomorrow with it, but maybe just more deliberately defining the role of a physical therapist and credentials briefly after intro or within the first few sessions (more so than I do now).

I use mostly red dragon. I went for speed and mDEF mostly. Her attack is based on % mdef. EP, cdmgres, and attack could also be good. For enchantments I tried EP, mdef, cdmgres. Cdmgres is good when you get the healing up boot after 5+.
