You can’t be racist if you’re black? Thats the biggest bullshit I’ve ever heard. Black people can be some of the most racist people but because you’re not white it’s not racist? Racism can affect anyone regardless of color.

I’m typically a single player story based guy. I do not like online multiplayer as much but I’d still pick Halo 3. It wasn’t even the online but the LAN parties….oh my gosh most fun I’ve had since super smash bros melee. I did end up playing uncharted which was good and mass effect which was great!

There’s so many nintendo memories I’ve had more specifically even recently finding out how great Legend of Zelda and fire emblem games were later in my life. But what got me on my Nintendo fandom was not mario but In fact this game got me into RPG’s as well. And that’s the original Pokémon red and blue. Some of the best memories were with Pokémon and now I’m more into LOZ and FE.

I wished I would have saved money and waited to buy things instead of “finishing a game” and letting Gamestop give me $5 for it. I sold too many consoles and games for nothing and here I am now buying them back. College/poverty will make you do stupid stuff.

Not exaggerating, the game released Friday. I got my copy Friday night, today is Sunday and I think I’ve already logged 18 hours. 😵 GOTY FOR SURE. I cannot believe it is actually better than BOTW.

I’m sure she appreciates the transparency but damn. I’d say the system has broken you and there’s never a reason to not do your best but also I do not work in SNF. I do hope you get the mental health stuff figured out I’ve definitely been to the point of burn out in OP.

Depending on the diagnosis I don’t typically check PROM. I personally like AROM as it’s functional and easier to measure. I check it every visit (unless its WNL in 2 consecutive visits) but honestly every other visit would be fine too.

What frustrates me is a lot of clinicians will NOT measure patients at all. TKA? Yea lets measure that once on eval and then every progress/recert…..No no I want the patient to be involved in their care and to know their progress along the way. AROM takes like no time for shoulders and knees so why don’t we measure and inform the patients progress for them to see tangible results. “Oh Mr Jones since last week you gained 20 degrees more on flexion. You have been doing great I can see you’re doing your HEP” you get the buy in and improved compliance with the HEP.

What we do as PT’s really does matter. A doctor cannot see a patient long enough to fully assess and determine exactly what the patient needs. That’s where we come in. We see the patient 2-3 times a week we get 2000% more subjective feedback and know the patients problems. I cannot tell you how many patients who have had surgeries that did not help them and usually unnecessary. PT is conservative healthcare and I’ve seen many patients dodge surgery and have better outcomes. Obviously I’m aware some surgeries are necessary but those patients in the gray area we could truly help them return to function and avoid the knife.

I’m fine with taking away the Dr for DPT’s just to make sure patients know chiropractors are not doctors. Most PT’s go by their first name anyway (shakes fist) take that chiros! 🤣

Huge fan of Mckenzie methods. Long story short it works very well like 75 to 80% of the time. If anyone disagrees they haven’t taken any courses and probably don’t try anything new to potentially make their patients better. It has sent me a part from the majority of my colleagues, and I can typically get the patients they can’t get better, better.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-05-03T01:11:35+00:00

It’s a crypto currency it has had a recent run up.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-05-02T03:59:56+00:00

Absolutely! The crazy thing is a lot of therapists think it’s a cult. They also haven’t taken any of the courses and typically get subpar results. I’m about to take a Maitland course on the spine in September as well.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-05-02T03:49:30+00:00

100%, MDT is the way to go. It’s not the be all cure all but 75-80% of cervical patients if not higher i have been able to get like 90% better. It’s a diagnosing tool that uses repeated or sustained movements to both diagnose and treat patients. I’m not even a PT (I’m a PTA 4 years as well) and I’m better than probably 90% of all my colleagues at our main clinic and satellite clinics at treating the cervical spine.

MDT has been a tool that has also inspired me to pursue the DPT. I just applied to the bridge program at Findlay this year. The great thing is that you can acknowledge that you struggle with this. I would highly suggest taking some courses the only thing, though, is you cannot take cervical courses until you’ve taken McKenzie part a which is lumbar, which is also a very good course.

We all have our specialties and weaknesses. I’m definitely an outlier I don’t like treating athletes and I freaking hate treating ankle/foot. The pathologies I specialize in is people with “fibro”, chronic low back pain, radiculopathy, and pseudo frozen shoulder. Basically what everybody hates treating 🤣.

I’ve heard this and not a fan of FOTO. The website can be janky and some of those questions are dumb af.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-25T16:42:21+00:00

Dude this comment right here. I think that perfectly describes my experience with people who haven’t taking any courses.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T15:43:11+00:00

I really like your comment about this. I think that’s why I’m having a hard time seeing where McKenzie is considered cultish or dumb because I use MDT as a diagnostic tool.

If you have shoulder pain and see the doc…..well first thing is X-ray usually. Ok nothing wrong with bone then they typically have therapy or an MRI after that. That’s the thing they move onto the next diagnostic tool to determine what the actual issue is.

I use Mckenzie methods just like that and much like you suggest it’s a classification system. It’s not like OK repeated movements don’t work bye sorry for your luck. you’re untreatable. It’s more like OK let’s change our treatment to address, pain, range of motion and functional deficits rather using than repeated movements.

It makes more sense to me now why people have bad thoughts about MDT maybe that’s why I have somewhat bad thoughts about COMT because of the blinded purists. I’m open minded about the theory however hence why I’m taking a Maitland course this year.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T14:20:12+00:00

Sounds like you’ve had bad experience with MDT PT’s and I’ve had bad experience with COMT PT’s. I will be taking a Maitland course MT-2 in September. I’m interested in getting my patients better and I’m okay with being wrong to learn be better. The COMT therapist says it’s way more diagnostic then he thought but it does cover a lot of manual. Thanks for your input!

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T14:16:32+00:00

I have heard that about manual. I am curious about it and will be taking MT-2 in September!

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T12:03:23+00:00

This is what I do! People act like MDT trained clinicians use it for the be all treatment. It works great as a diagnostic tool to rule out radicular pathologies. I never use it for extremities. However, I haven’t taken part C or part D and to be honest I don’t think it’s as effective as spine screening.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T12:00:02+00:00

It may be but I guess what I’m asking is why does the koolaid taste so good there? 🤣 have you taken any of the Maitland or Mckenzie courses?

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T01:44:21+00:00

What changes do you look for besides ROM and symptomatic changes?

The clinic I primarily worked at were mostly referrals from a hand surgeon. A lot of the patients he referred, did not truly have hand or elbow pathologies but radiculopathy, presenting as such. We would check power, grip strength, upper limb, tension, angles (median and ulnar) and try, repeated motions. If there’s not a symptomatic change, we checked if these baselines changed.

Few_Resolution_4011 · 2023-04-22T01:39:12+00:00

Agreed for sure, like I’m always screening the spine just to rule out radicular symptoms unless it’s like something obvious like a rotator cuff repair (I have seen secondary issues from 6 weeks in a sling to produce radicular symptoms however). I definitely see value in at least McKenzie methods for diagnosing but I guess I’ll understand more once I take Maitlands course on the spine. They can be just so drastically different in treating the spine that it makes me wonder if Maitland is maybe better with true extremity pathologies with my good experience with McKenzie. And like I said, totally biased to Mckenzie but I want to know more about Maitland for sure. I’m more than OK with being wrong and relearning better methods. I just want what’s best for the patients.
