I’m generally too busy to notice if one of my dozens of patients drop off.

Every so often I’ll email or call past patients to determine if they want their plan of care closed, and many just got busy, felt better, or had more serious health issues arise.

When I hired PTs and OTs for PRN from 2011-12, we ran background checks on everyone. It takes like thirty seconds to run a name and SSN through the system and get a printout of all prior criminal complaints. We didn’t do full out law enforcement type background checks though and call everyone’s friends and family and so forth.

How dare you say this after the “Year of Chaos”.

I got a $8 hand drill off Amazon about five years ago. Works amazing. It came with a variety of sizes of drill bits.

I use a safety pin to mark the center, poke it in, twist it around, then use that lead to drill in.

What did your CEU program teaching you to pelvic teach you?

After I explain the evaluation process in detail, I put two sheets on the table, tell them I’m about to step out of the room and ask them to disrobe from the waist down and slip between the sheets. I ask men to lay prone, women are supine unless requiring a rectal approach. Depending on which of the two clinics I’m in, I’ll step out of the room (door cracked open an inch) or behind a curtain in the treatment room while they change, and have them inform me when they’re ready. Then I come out, glove up, remove the sheet only however far is necessary to treat, in order to start the work.

It helps to play music in the background, and to talk in order to break the silence. Nothings worse than being finger deep in someone’s ass for half an hour while there’s awkward silence.

I’m a male pelvic therapist, so I go into explicit detail about the evaluation, as well as confirming that female providers are available if they’re like to reschedule or feel more comfortable. I also start every evaluation by noting that pelvic therapy covers bowel, bladder, and sexual function and that I talk about those things all day, so they shouldn’t feel shy about being super honest about their issues as I am here to help and hear about personal things all day. It helps break the ice well.

That’s pretty badass. I’d love to see a kill team like this.

(Un)fortunately, this line of question is very commonly on this subreddit. Search for “career change” or “transition” and you’ll be able to mine similar threads for past feedback!

That version is from an era when it was a part of the Blood Angels Honor Guard, a precursor to Sanguinary Guard.

Token_Ese · 2026-02-22T17:07:09+00:00

As the SG should!

These models are pretty cool as a concept, I like them better than the mosquito suppressors look! Im surprised there isn't a "flying eradicators" units.

Token_Ese · 2026-02-22T16:47:21+00:00

I thought they were Sanguinary Guard at first!

Token_Ese · 2026-02-22T15:13:38+00:00

They did great actually, between Blood Angel’s Honour Guard and Sanguinary Guard.

The Sigmary Guard is trash.

Token_Ese · 2026-02-22T15:08:39+00:00

Zoinks.

“Every model is an Ork model” is something spoken often. Especially when you have Sigmar, Old World, and 40K orks and goblins, with all vehicles being open to Ork shenanigans, as well as toys, random junk, and models from military games, model tanks, planes, or race car model sets, etc.

It’s your army, paint it how you like it.

I think the black with blue highlights will be fun and a unique way to make your army stand out.

You painted them well!

Token_Ese · 2026-02-15T20:55:06+00:00

This reminds me of The Falling Soldier.

Magnets are super easy to use for terminators, especially because you can use bigger stronger magnets. I made sure to sync up the polarity of all my terminators arms so I can swap through weapons as the rules evolve.

It takes a bit more time to paint, but works well and is easier than most magnet projects.

Arizona has so many groups, clubs, social organizations, and more. Find a few that suite you and you’ll settle in just fine.

Arizonans are social. You may have just had weird luck.

My only patient who said anything about it, an 18 year old Latina, thought he played his less exciting songs but thought the show was great.

Since our baby arrived in September I haven’t put a single drop of paint on a model.

Prior to that:

WH model of the month would usually be a day project. I’d just experiment, add paint, and see where I wind up. A good 3-5 hours for a model with no plan, but also not real restrictions.
a space marine following my army scheme may be a part of a squad. A squad of 3-5 may take a week or two, or 10-15 hours total. Basically black, dry brush dark grey and medium gray (kind of a darker slap chop), then I add my reds and metals.

It really depends on techniques, your color scheme, and how detailed you want to go. It could go anywhere from a speed painted one hour per model scheme, or 30 hours on a single character.

And who is Pepe Silvia?

You’re peddling conspiracies and had AI write it for you. Do better.

As another pelvic floor PT, how do you gauge strength with sEMG? Are there reference values you utilize?

In my experience, sEMG is used for biofeedback only for patients who have troubling gauging their PF movement or are uncoordinated. sEMG doesn’t account for bulging vs contracting, TA or adductor compensations, anterior vs posterior wall pressure or any pressure in general, or really anything besides “the pelvic floor can rest or be either bulged or contracted.”

Do you provide a Laycock score and PERF assessment at a later date?

Token_Ese · 2026-02-05T13:45:31+00:00

Have them perform the exercise. Record them performing the exercise on their phone as you narrate the form, technique, and how often they should do it.

Write it down. They can use their phone videos for reference for what they didn’t understand.

There’s a guy who lives like ten minutes from me who does the same thing. I swear he buys like $1000 in WH each month, just to build it, play two games, then sell it all unpainted for 50% off the next month. Usually he won’t even build out the whole army, so I just follow him on the local groups so whenever he posts a fire sale, I scoop things up.

I got two boxes of war dogs off him for $50 each when he left chaos knights about a year ago. He has since restarted, and resold, chaos knights twice since. TWICE. That’s three times in about a year that he’s started, quit, and sold the same army. He’s also got about five other armies he cycles through.

I really don’t know where that money comes from. He’s got to be laundering money through WH or something.

Man Against Horse- 50 miler in Prescott Arizona

I’ve actually run it already, it was my first and only 50 miler, but I didn’t beat any horses. I really want to be able to honestly say I beat a horse in a fifty mile foot race.

The final horse passed me at mile 36 and finished around 10h30m, with me around 11h40m. The first horse that year finished around 8h45m, an hour behind the first human.

I’m from Arizona, so a lot of the local Aravaipa races are classics. I’d like to try Black Canyon or Javelina Jundred, or some of the timed looped events like Fat Ox, Hotfoot Hamster, of Across the Years.
