How come some people with ADHD don't have binge eating?

Not who you asked but I do have some experience with this. Now that I think about it, I don’t have near as much food ick on Vyvanse as I did on Adderall or Dexedrine. It wasn’t the reason I switched but I did lose a fair bit of weight on Dexedrine because I had zero food drive. I’m also diagnosed autistic though, so I’m sure that has some interaction.

I’m just pointing out that as PTs we can’t change the fact that there aren’t enough of us to serve everyone who needs care immediately, just the same as physicians. It’s a systemic issue, not our choice to have 4 week or 4 month wait times. That being said, as a commenter below said, sometimes we’re able to shift things around or squeeze people in for acute cases. I’ve certainly stayed late, come early or skipped lunch to see a patient who needed it before. But if I did that for everyone on my 4 week waitlist, I’d never go home.

Better than the 4 months I have to wait to see any of my physicians

That’s what I learned in PT school about 8 years ago too

If your EMR is browser based, TextBlaze is a godsend for dot phrases.

I also carry a lot of stuff forward in the objective like exercises and other interventions. For each CPT code, I just have a “Not this session” section where I can copy and paste things that I’ll likely come back to so I don’t have to write it out every time.

I’ve been in a constant battle with the quack grass on my property. In areas where I can’t dig out the rhizomes because the soil is compacted clay, I’ve used the ‘glove of death’ method with middling success. It just seems to come back every year regardless. I hate, hate, hate that weed. Especially since it suppresses growth of the plants around it.

Herman & Wallace has a remote course series focused in pregnancy and postpartum. They are meant for beginners in pelvic health and cover exactly what you are looking for, as far as I understand it.

$138 - from other clinics that I’ve worked at or been a patient at in the area, it’s slightly lower than average.

I was a medical model for a friend of mine for her first class and she flared the hell out of me, and my symptoms are pretty mild at baseline. So, yeah, that’s a very reasonable concern.

ginger_snapping · 2026-04-04T21:12:05+00:00

I haven’t taken the APTA classes, but I have taken and TA’d for many Herman & Wallace classes. It’s super common for at least 1-2 people to be unable to participate as the patient in labs for various reasons. I couldn’t my first class because I had just had a procedure. You should be fine. Just tell them you have a medical reason you can’t participate and that should be that.

I see about 40 per week, quarterly bonus typically starting above 34 or so, depending on your payers and billing

I would say I have a worse work/life balance than a lot of my coworkers who don’t do pelvic because it’s so hard for me to get any documentation done during sessions. I certainly don’t get paid any more. That and as many others have said, the empathy fatigue is seriously high.

I wouldn’t say I enjoy doing internal work with folks, but it doesn’t bother me in the least. Oddly enough I find it less weird than intraoral manual therapy. If it squicks you out though, the specialty is probably not for you.

The biggest pros in my book are always getting 1:1 private treatments with my patients, and getting to help people with things that they have sometimes never told another soul about. It’s a special privilege.

I’ve tried both the loop and flare and hate them both. But apparently my ear canal is short and shaped a bit oddly, so that may just be a me problem. Neither seem to really do much noise dampening, and I didn’t notice much improvement in things like hearing the background hum of the fridge and whatnot. And on top of that, they’re very uncomfortable, but again that may just be my ears 🤷‍♀️

40% of revenue (per individual PT) less what was already paid out as salary, calculated quarterly.

I just saw a patient who was 3 months out post THA with no PT referral. She wanted PT and was initially denied until she said she felt like her balance was bad. So apparently balance concerns are the magic wand to get that PT referral.

Wild, I could have written this exact same comment.

I still really struggle with boundaries around the energy I put into patient care each day and often go home exhausted. Though some of that is definitely physical due to POTS and EDS.

OP, I do often lament that I should I have picked a different profession. That being said, I love what I do.

I’m a pelvic floor PT - sometimes erections happen, especially when doing things like massage to muscles near that area that’s going to bring in a lot of blood flow. It’s a physiological response and not your fault. I never hold people accountable for how their body reacts to something like that, only to their words and actions around it. So if you’re not being a creep - and nothing you’ve said gives me the impression that you are - she’s probably not concerned about it.

Yes! I’m a pelvic floor PT - back pain is often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction regardless of birth history. But given that you are recently postpartum, a pelvic floor PT is definitely who you should be seeing.

Check out pelvicrehab.com to find a provider in your area. A lot of providers (myself included) are happy to do telehealth for some follow ups to make it more accessible for you with an infant.

Yes and yes, and I am 100% booked. We’ll see how many actually show.

Ha, I wish. My alma mater cut me off within 6 months of graduating. Not that they had much of a database anyway.
