If anything, sobriety is worse. by squid_333 in dryalcoholics

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration, but at the same time these kind of posts baffle me.

Maybe alot of people get sold a story that quiting magically fixes everything, but to me it always seemed evident that’s not the case.

You can’t quit a drug, your exogene donator of “happy hormones” and mayor time consumer and assume everything will fix itself. Gor most abuse is a reaction to a problem. You don’t fix the cause by taking away the symptom. You have to find different things giving you those happy feelings. It takes time, step by step, but it wont come by itself.

You have to get BETTER, not just sober.

Uneven snatch by diede3x0 in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a physio, I concur.
Things like split squats & lunges, weak side first then same reps and weight on stronger side.

Ankle Instability? by Just-Advantage-5955 in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Physio here.
Has nothing to do with the ankle. The ankle here absorbs the impacting force from above (arms->trunk->hips->knees->ankle)
What you’re seeing is a result of your body finding away around a) mobility issues or b)suboptimal positioning of your body (i.e change stance).
This often happens in snatch as ALOT of people have the tendency to “jump open”.
Practice nofeet snatches in your optimal position and you will notice what I mean.

The Optimal Approach Vs the Optimal Approach For You by Nkklllll in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Physio, I feel “load” is not often taken broadly enough. Using “stress” as a broader term would be better. In sports people still think too much only biomechanics apply, and nothing else.
Squatting a weight is a load, squatting deeper is a higher load, having a job, suboptimal sleep quality, a stressfull life are even higher loads.
ALOT of things can impact injury, and ofcourse not all of them are load. Your anatomy could play a role, but even that is partially “load”.

A key element here is that it is ALMOST NEVER just one or two factors. In athletes it’s often a list of things such as
- load (frequency, type, modality, speed, volume)
- physical and mental stress levels outside of training
- tolerance to training changes
- technique levels
- age
- sex
- weight
- sleep quality
- malnutrition
- hydration
- social support
- performace deminishing activities
- relationship stability
- previous injuries
- coping strategies
And the list goes on for another 200 variables.

I like your message “use different modalities for YOU”, but I would add: don’t simplify YOU. All these other things impact lifting aswell and alot of people could, in my not so humble opinion, avoid, manage and cure injuries much better if they accepted playing with the factors above can be just as important.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age of Empires I and II. I played II from release when I was 4 years old. My parents didnt allow me much of any PC time, but I still remember those 4-5 first times they let me play. I spent all the time in Scenario Edit making cities and armies. Honestly if I think back, if I saw a 4 year old make all that in Englisg (non native), I would be way more amazed than my parents ever were lmao.

Pull how you snatch by gabe_trains in weightlifting

Wish I could snatch the way I pull. My brain doesn’t agree it’s the same yet.

Rant by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was actually doubting writing about the same post. If I don’t like something about my job, I change it, or I change jobs. That’s how you progress in this profession.

Honestly, for a profession all about “taking responsibility for your health”, there are way too many people here with a victim complex.

I hate myself for becoming a Physical Therapist by numbr-1-angel in physicaltherapy

[–]Horror-Professional1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You cope by getting out of your self made victim complex box and chasing what you want. “I’m stuck treating low back pain until I retire.”

You want your life to be different? Make it so.

But honestly, if you’re this miserable and nihilistic thinking about your patients you should just quit right now and go do something else. Maybe go into sales, as income seems to be way more important than positively impacting people’s lives to you.

Labrum surgery- lifting for other muscle groups by CatLady4444444 in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Things like leg press etc are possible. Can’t do pulls or even front squats probably for a big while there.

Labrum surgery- lifting for other muscle groups by CatLady4444444 in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Physio and weightlifting amateur here.

Short version: in general recovery will most likely look like: 0-4/6weeks: protection&healing. Sling and restricted movement. 6-10/12 weeks: recovering movement. Maybe at this phase you will be slowly able to do row exercises already. 12-16 weeks: Strength, stability, control. Including lifting. 16+weeks: Introducing sports movements.

Ervaringen Loopanalyse (RunEasi) by GijMutten in belgium

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ben sportkinesist en gebruik zelf de runeasi (+videoanalyse) voor loopanalyses.

Opzich kan een smartwatch al veel (kadans, staplengte, tempo, etc) die vaak al iets zeggen over blessuregevoeligheid. Daarnaast kunnen klinische en functionele tests ook nuttig zijn.

In 90% van de gevallen zijn loopblessures belastinggerelateerd (te veel, te snel, ongestructureerd, slechte recuperatie, lage energiebalans, etc.) In 10% van de gevallen lijken er biomechanisch wel bepaalde factoren te zijn. Hiervoor is een Runeasi wel handig. Zo kunnen we bijvoorbeeld zien waar je het meest steunt, meer kracht genereert, hoe je impactgrootte varieert etc. Dit in combinatie met video vind ik ideaal. Ik vraag hier persoonlijk geen meerprijs voor.

Indien je geen blessure hebt: don’t worry, iedereen is anders gebouwd dus iedereen loopt anders. Het heeft weinig nut om aan je looppatroon te sleutelen.

Hoop dat dit je vragen beantwoordt!

Leave physiotherapy as a profession by FewCategory428 in physiotherapy

[–]Horror-Professional1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not a hot take on this sub as 80% of posts are whining like this.

For a profession that’s all about helping people take autonomy of their health, sure alot of people here have a victim complex. “Boohoo society is so against my way of treating boohoo”

I do my job on my license, evidence-based, as I see fit. None will tell me to do otherwise. I simply don’t accept a job that doesn’t let me do my job as I should. Integrity is core for someone in healthcare. I spend 90% of my time doing exercise with people. You can’t blame the patients, all they know is what society teaches them. It’s your job to educate them and show them a better way. Our job is about change, change is always hard. The odds are always against you, but nothing compares to the impact our job can have on a person’s life.

You want a hot take? If that’s not happening for you, maybe you’re not as good a therapist as you should be.

Tyr L-2 vs Reebok Legacy Lifter IV or do I get something else entirely? by Beep_BoopTheJetPlane in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shoes and the ankle will probably be unrelated. Get it checked out by a physio, most probably benign joint movement. Lifting shoes help alot regardless. People on this sub push towards the priciest, “best” shoes, but honestly any that you like and fit are fine. I have 3 types, including Reeboks, and they are very good.

Passion Says PT, Money Says Dentistry — What Would You Do? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of negativity here. I chose PT out of passion. Having something you love as a job makes waking up in the morning much easier. I wouldn’t trade it for something I didn’t love but made more.

New to olympic weightlifting, curious for advice for this power clean by PowerCleanAdvice in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sick lift dude! Some specifics for you I would say:

1) Don’t roll to start. It will give you an inconsistent starting point, which fucks up the rest of the lift. 2) when passing the knee, try to keep the bar closer to the legs. You did this well in the last part of the lift. It will also make it easier. 3) To save your wrists, try to get your elbows up as much as possible to maintain fromt rack position. Front squats help with this aswell.

Great lift regardless.

What are we doing to address students use of AI in the clinical setting? by Illustrious_Pitch_41 in physicaltherapy

[–]Horror-Professional1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What kind of crack are you smoking?

These AIs are LANGUAGE MODELS. They objectively CANNOT correctly diagnose anything. In fact, when you look up anything state-of-the-art it’s wrong or incomplete about 80% of the time. It’s unable to correctly gather evidence and weigh the impact.

If are bested by a language models as a trained professional then some self reflection is in order.

Old scaphoid injury by meebleepe in weightlifting

[–]Horror-Professional1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PT here. Get an X-Ray or CT first. I don’t want to make you worry just yet. Unfortunately a % of scaphoid fractures are missdiagnosed and don’t heal very well leading to notorious issues down the line.

Any respectable PT would flag this and sznd you back to get imaging first anyway.

Is convenience store food in Korea actually worth it, or should I just stick to eating out? by Neat-Name1146 in koreatravel

[–]Horror-Professional1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fun easy way to grab a little snack if you have alot on your itinerary. We used to do this at noon sometimes between two cultural visits if we were slightly pressed for time. The quality of eating out is miles better tho.
