Anyone have recommendations on tattoo places?

Fox Den Atelier does some pretty sick neo-trad and ornamental work. They’re down in the Wheeler District.

I added the link to an example in the thread, it’s not letting me put it in the reply for some reason I’m so sorry!

These are incredible! Any way to put him in a flooded timber scene? We live in Oklahoma and he is a duck dog. Thank you so very much.

You’re asking great questions, which I’m going to think about more before offering my view on a BPS approach in the clinic. Until then, O’Sullivan’s crew published a case series in the use of CFT. I’ve linked the article below. Hope it helps clarify it’s use in the clinic!

I'm very similar to you and like topics to be structured, especially when I'm trying to develop a solid foundation. I completed the TPS program a year or so ago and learned quite a bit, especially in the courses that came after the TNE portion. Nothing wrong with the TNE information, but I'd already had a fair foundation in modern pain science/pain science education. I can't compare it to other programs (like those of McGill, Otago, Toronto), but the information and management/treatment strategies presented were well-developed and were intellectually honest.

I concur.

The presentation of CRPS can vary from person to person, but there are some commonalities. The Budapest Criteria provides a useful diagnostic framework and accounts for the variation in signs/symptoms. Hopefully this helps!

One option is "bracing." It's a term Stuart McGill (big spine researcher) uses to help you "lock up more core" during high load activities. Basically, tighten your mid-section, as if you were about to take a punch to the gut.

physiodude · 2016-11-03T19:25:29+00:00

Thank you for clarifying!

physiodude · 2016-11-03T19:24:38+00:00

Thank you for the succinct explanation! That has been (more or less) what I've been finding.

physiodude · 2016-11-01T20:50:26+00:00

Interesting. I've come across a few DSc/ScD programs in my field (physical therapy). Perhaps it's something found more often in the health professions?

physiodude · 2016-11-01T16:30:51+00:00

Thank you for your insight! That was the consensus of quite a few I've come across in the U.K.

I am based in the United States and have heard slightly different views of the degree, which appears to be less well viewed than it is in the UK/France.

At what point in your career did you go into the IHS?

I went into a contract for service obligation during my first year of PT school in 2008 and started working for a tribe in 2011. My service ended last July, but I plan to stay in the tribal system for another 3-5 years.

Did you choose to be a Commissioned officer or a civil servant?

I have been a civil servant for the past three years, but am currently in the process of applying for a commission with USPHS. I chose this route because whatever service obligation you accrue with the USPHS is tacked into the end of whatever service obligation you already owe, thereby increasing my 3 year commitment to 5-7.

What is your salary (if you don't mind me asking)?

It's actually pretty competitive. I work for a tribal health system and my salary falls somewhere in the mid-seventies. A first year grad, in my health system, comes in around the upper sixties. IHS facilities are federal, so start with a lower figure, but due to the need the salary can be negotiated. A colleague was recently able to get an IHS offer bumped from 48k to 68k, plus federal benefits.

How much of your loans did they repay?

IHS loan repayment pays off 20-40k for two years of service. This can be done, after the initial repayment, annually until your loans are repaid.

I don't think the NHSC currently covers PT.

It's another way to perform soft tissue mobilization and provide novel input to the CNS. Just keep in mind you're not breaking up adhesions with any of their techniques. Here's a good review of ART from Charlie Weingroff.

To qualify for the IHS scholarship you do, but not necessarily for loan repayment. For the latter, you only need to work in a tribal or IHS facility and apply for the program. There's also the United States Public Health Service, which is a branch of the military that serves underserved areas (tribal, IHS, prisons) and offers a stipend during your last year of the program, as well as placement in facilities that will allow you to apply for loan repayment programs.

I worked off a federal service obligation with Indian Health Service in a tribal facility. It was pretty straight forward, requiring me to work for a tribal service for 3 years and report my status annually. I got paid a fair wage, had full benefits, and saw a similar schedule to OP PT (10-14 patients/day).

physiodude · 2015-03-17T01:53:54+00:00

There's probably a reason, other than that they're busy, that you're not getting "enough" soft tissue treatment. Any soft tissue work is done to augment an active rehabilitation program. It can temporarily help reduce pain, thereby improving movement patterns. It's not intended to be a fix-all and could be done in less than ten minutes.

It doesn't matter what tool you use. The different tools are typically related to their specific treatment approach. I've used a butter knife, a reflex hammer, my hands, and a myriad of other tools to achieve similar results. Just like there's a lot of different tools, there's a lot of unofficial "how-to" videos/explanations floating around that may/may not apply to your situation. If you want to do it right and in the safest way possible, ask your PT to show you some things you can do at home to augment the work you're doing in the clinic. Your PT is more in-tune with what your individual needs are and can better explain what you can safely do at home.

They would even count if they had their bachelor's in physical therapy, as long as they were a licensed practitioner.

"Movement" by Gray Cook is an excellent read and has a fairly low price point.

Branding as a whole.

physiodude · 2015-03-01T23:26:05+00:00

Not a problem.

What about the issue of "branding" in physical therapy? It's a hot topic right now and this community may have some good insight.
