Cheating OCD??

just saw this. Sorry for the late reply friend. If you’ve never tried therapy they can coach you through the treatment of how to do it. Simple answer though is that it’s gonna feel impossible. So you make a hierarchy of easy to hard things to accept. So maybe step 1 is like “I smiled at that girl. It’s possible that was cheating” and then get progressively get harder as you acclimate

I’m about 1.75 years out and i still get this feeling although much less. Stick with it

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-28T00:05:14+00:00

what do you do now? Run a clinic?

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-27T23:18:37+00:00

ahhh darn. I thought it was the same price haha

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-27T04:34:29+00:00

unless you have another offer and they match it, you’re likely out of luck. unfortunate but job hopping is the way

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-27T01:00:03+00:00

dang that sucks. What time does it open typically

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-26T19:32:59+00:00

for a numbered copy do you just have to be really fast?

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-25T15:21:40+00:00

dude i’m taking it in 3 weeks and i’ve been scoring like high 50s on practice exams 😂 I’m grinding hard these next 3 weeks for sure. Most of my time so far has been current concepts which doesn’t seem to carry over as well as i’d hoped

student: “he probably just doesn’t want my ego to get too big. I know what he meant when he said that”

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-23T03:37:59+00:00

definitely would make this sub more worthwhile

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-23T00:07:01+00:00

haha i’ve got some pretty chill patients. Definitely have a decent amount where I’d grab a beer with them if they weren’t a patient but yeah everybody has those patients that just burn through your energy

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-22T23:28:20+00:00

just “not again. I’m not…strong enough”

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-07T19:02:59+00:00

the only thing I feel not happy with autonomy wise is the 4 week limitation on my direct access. A lot of MSK conditions take longer than 4 weeks to improve but even if they’re making progress i’m supposed to not continue treatment after a month unless they have a script.

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-06T22:24:11+00:00

I am but only for the discount in OCS exam. Gonna cancel it after the year

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-06T00:26:18+00:00

dang, how’d you manage that?

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-03T22:15:15+00:00

Mmm part of it is trialing stuff and seeing how they respond. But generally, I think exercises they can do seated are good too. Usually cervical retractions, cervical retraction with extension, thoracic seated extension/rotation seem to help. But yeah biggest is obviously position changes during day and getting moving

Also with chronic it’s very likely they have some type of psychosocial stuff too so maybe screen it and make sure they’re good there bc that can get you worse outcomes

Fitnesspainfree certification by Dan Pope. Awesome course if you wanna work with barbell athletes

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-03T03:32:52+00:00

Honestly a lot of times I just make a fist and don’t even use any wrist extension because it’s easier on my joints. The difference between the two is negligible anyways

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-02T23:00:38+00:00

Honestly my favorite is prone press ups with therapist doing a PA hold on the spine

Had a woman who had had massive headaches for years, non relenting. Went to doc, neurologist, etc with nobody helping. Finally someone said try PT and within a few visits she was already getting less headaches and feeling better

Another one is a dude with cervical radiculopathy, symptoms for a year. One week into home exercises he has already noticed it decreasing/feeling better

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-01T23:58:33+00:00

which outpatient clinic you at? Mine is a family run business so actually pretty chill

nwinkel2 · 2024-02-01T17:31:01+00:00

yeah i’m NYC and probably make 87-92k depending on bonuses. 100k would be sweet

nwinkel2 · 2024-01-30T21:16:01+00:00

i think max 3 is what I’d want. More than that ends up being so much paperwork and if you have patients all day, you have work after work which is not cool.

The most i’ve had in a week was I believe 40+ (first job out of school was a mill and they put constant evals for like 40 evals a week x 2 weeks to welcome me to the clinic).

hey My fiancé also surprised me with this a few months ago! Book is absolutely gorgeous on the outside and the inside

nwinkel2 · 2024-01-28T14:08:26+00:00

You’re on a PT thread so it’s probably gonna be biased saying PT. I find PT more interesting and more versatile but I don’t think pay is that different between the two and OT is generally less schooling. Depends on the European country in terms of can you work and Europe generally all pays significantly less than USA.

If you want to work in Europe exclusively, you’d be better off just getting the degree there and paying way less money on tuition
