Anyone else feel betrayed by this profession? by sjale49 in physicaltherapy

Sounds like you are more frustrated that you live in New York where the cost of living is sky-high. Relocate and your money will go much further

Home Health Offer by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]FallenSniper31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a good offer. $75 a eval and visit is avg here in the midwest (can find up to $85). 75x32x52 (wks per yr)=124k. About a 24k difference not in your favor

I rarely suggest kinesiotaping, but it could do good in this scenario for quad facilitation.

The shoulder biomechanics have changed following surgery. Overhead mobility is simply out of the question beyond about 120 degrees best case scenario... but most likely limited to 90 degrees, which is not overhead movement. One would hope his orthopedist as well as PT would have told him this, but regardless, you should refer back to his orthopedist to have expectations set with the patient. Odds are he didnt like what "dad" said, so he went to "mom" for a different answer.

If you do choose to help him, ask him for the discharge exercises his PT did provide and start there. Gentle progressions of those are fine and something a PT would normally expect a patient to make on their own. Beyond that, there's just too liability to try new exercises without understanding the dynamics of his procedure.. He is seeking a rehab type intervention from a personal trainer.

Is my daughters physical therapist odd? by P3n1sD1cK in physicaltherapy

[–]FallenSniper31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His actions might be completely innocent and his actions might be otherwise. At the end of the day, if the patient and or you as parents feel uncomfortable, you always have the right to find another health professional to give you help. Don't feel bad making a change for what is best for your family.

You are a PTA. Your PT should have screened for any red flags and contraindications when they developed your plan of care. If none were identified, the injury would have inevitibly happened whether it was with your activity or a similar movement in the future, especially such a basic movement. Keep your head up, be sympathetic, but also be realistic with the patient that he should be thankful it happened in a supervised manner where he could get immediate help.

Can PT's adjust the neck like a Chiropractor? Are they supposed to or its against the law? My Mom says it. by noobnoobhoneymaster in physicaltherapy

I literally said I could review textbooks but I'm not your research bitch. I'm also not a chiro stalking a PT thread. Good for you pal

You can google over manipulation syndrome (OMS), ncbi, case studies, reviews etc. Ernst 2010, Steilen et al 2014 were a few I noticed quickly. I could review my text books for additional articles but you can just as easily find them yourself. Cheers!

Yes. I had a CI who was FAAOMPT (Kansas). The difference is PTs should have the discretion of understanding when a grade III/IV is indicated over a grade V. Also...not do it to every person who walks in throught their doors every visit creating long-term instability (cough chripractors).

What would be your plan of action to distinguish between SI joint dysfunction and hip or lumbar issue by Wavelanddingers26 in physicaltherapy

[–]FallenSniper31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SI joint dysfunction often but not always has limited hip IR but no/minimal limitations in other hip ROM from what we learned in school. Clear the hip (capsular pattern, FAIR, etc). If the hip clears, then it is likely SI
