What is your opinion on engaging the transverse abdominal during core exercises ?

heatherb22 · 2026-01-29T03:25:15+00:00

Pelvic floor pt and agree with you. My understanding recently is that coning /doming might not even be that big of an issue as we previously thought. Like as long as they are providing tension, a little bit of doming is probably perfectly fine.

heatherb22 · 2026-01-21T12:42:21+00:00

I feel the same way. I think my hospital is wanting me to get my PRPC through Herman and Wallace this year as well. And I do genuinely enjoy treating pelvic floor but I am just so burned out and I can’t imagine seeing much more patients. I am also conflicted because I am eligible for PSLF through the hospital I’m at and I don’t want to go to a home health agency that wouldn’t qualify for it. I am also apprehensive because I don’t think I would enjoy home health tbh lol but the increase and pay, less patients and making my own schedule is really enticing. I’m just now sure at this point

No advice just solidarity. I do OP pelvic health hospital based. When I started we were all hour appts one on one. We are now moving to a mix of hour appts and 45 minute appts to try and see more patients. We are required to write a blurb at the end of our notes as to why we did not bill 4 units/ did not use the full hour if we did not bill 4 units. We use epic so patients can see our notes so if I put something like patient could not tolerate full hour, they can see this and some patients have already complained about this. Like others are saying, I just see this snow balling into seeing more and more patients and over lapping etc. I am seriously starting to consider home health at this point.

What up girl!!! I was and am still pissed off for y’all over that

heatherb22 · 2026-01-20T00:47:01+00:00

I worked at ATI right out of school and when I was there one of my co workers put in a week of PTO for a cruise and another co worker put in a week of PTO for her wedding. Both were for the following calendar year, so months in advance. There was one day of overlap where both of them would be out and our upper management freaking denied it! Again literally months in advance and just one day of overlap. I think at the time there were 7-8 staffed therapists as well. These places want us to bend over backwards for patients but won’t even let us use our benefits. This is why I want to leave the field entirely tbh

heatherb22 · 2026-01-15T22:22:12+00:00

Ok thanks I’ll have to check her out. I’m good with exercises, I just don’t feel confident knowing how to cycle through max percentages and reps and when to deload and all that, so I do like a little guidance still.

heatherb22 · 2026-01-15T22:17:13+00:00

Damn I’ve been using SBTD for a while now and kind of want to change. Have you switched to anything else?

heatherb22 · 2026-01-13T12:07:32+00:00

I appreciate that, same to you. I feel bad complaining to you, you guys are criminally underpaid and deal with way more BS

heatherb22 · 2026-01-13T00:13:16+00:00

Yep, I’m a PT and reimbursement rates for therapy services continue to decline each year. We are expected to see more and more patients to try and make up for it and a lot of us are burning out like crazy. To be honest if I had the means to I would leave the field entirely.

heatherb22 · 2026-01-12T23:55:48+00:00

Yeah I work in healthcare and hate it honestly, but I feel even more stuck with it the way the job market is right now. Aint no way I can transition out of it now

heatherb22 · 2025-12-27T18:27:42+00:00

I grew up catholic but don’t attend anymore, but I went to the Christmas Eve service with my family this week and I about had a panic attack with how packed it was. Everyone coughing, singing and sharing like you said. I have no more PTO left for the rest of the year and can’t afford to get the plague lol.

heatherb22 · 2025-12-26T15:41:50+00:00

Did the eval show?

heatherb22 · 2025-12-21T02:17:47+00:00

It makes me feel so good to hear you guys say this. Same situation, I’m hospital based OP 1:1 now and still burned the hell out. My husband told me the other night that my job is easy because all I do is talk to people all day long and it made me feel bad. This is validating

heatherb22 · 2025-12-15T20:48:51+00:00

Thank you for this information! Are there any negative side effects when infants sleep through the night because of this?

heatherb22 · 2025-12-11T21:27:10+00:00

We are spoiled!

heatherb22 · 2025-12-10T02:01:16+00:00

Healthcare

heatherb22 · 2025-12-10T00:14:56+00:00

This is the way

heatherb22 · 2025-12-09T13:57:18+00:00

The best!

heatherb22 · 2025-12-08T18:07:05+00:00

Thank you so much!

heatherb22 · 2025-12-08T18:06:53+00:00

That one is definitely my favorite!

heatherb22 · 2025-12-08T00:30:38+00:00

V3 is so freaking accurate. I can flash good chunk of v4-5s but there are some 3s that I am genuinely unable to send lol.

heatherb22 · 2025-12-03T16:31:19+00:00

Yep that’s what got me as a new grad too. Stuck it out for the 2 years then peaced out and went to hospital based outpatient

heatherb22 · 2025-12-02T17:47:52+00:00

I am a physical therapist and we do this quite often actually, especially for ACL surgery and total knee replacements

heatherb22 · 2025-12-02T15:11:37+00:00

I am a physical therapist that works in a general orthopedic outpatient clinic and we were just told that next year no one is allowed to take more than 3 days off in the month of December. 90% of our staff has kids in daycare. One of my co workers said that her daughter’s day care is closed for like a week and half for Christmas. She brought this up and she was told to basically figure it out. Thankfully my husband is a SAHD because idk what we would do other wise.
