“Of all the predictors analysed, physical activity score was the only one whose protective effect was statistically significant for all the types of mortality studied.” Carlos, et al 2022.
“As allied health professionals, our job is MORE than just “the diagnosis”.
Getting someone out of pain is great.
Giving them a better life is GREATER.
Giving them independence to take charge of their own heath is the GREATEST.
Strength training is literally the fountain of youth and regardless of pathology, NEEDS to be a significant portion of every rehab program. In fact, I would go as far as to say that lack of strength training is the #1 reason for a poor physical therapy outcome.
In order to get stronger, we need STIMULATORY reps. Too often we mismatch the goal (strength) with the intervention (band rows for 3x10).
Physical Therapy should look like WORK with appropriately dosed STRAINING movement patterns.
Rehab to Resilience”.

This morning a patient brought their service dog to our balance gym. He's about to have a panic attack not being allowed to help the other patients who are almost falling.

Nothing more important than watching and adopting a correct posture
Poor postures could go as far as causing life-long deformities.

IT’S WORLD PT DAY, c’mon
Today is a day to spread awareness about the contribution of physiotherapy in the society
Who is a physiotherapist?
A physiotherapist is not just a healthcare professional, but a guardian of hope, a champion of resilience, and a catalyst for healing.
Well, I try and strive to do that to do that every day in this community and I think we’re getting somewhere. I have a whole lot planned to ensure there’s better awareness on here
Happy World PT day!!!
Celebrate your physiotherapists today; Well, celebrate me😉.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to work in the medical field, I was just so invested in the thought of helping people through their health challenges and also it made me feel cool😅
When I first heard about physiotherapy I honestly didn’t know what it entailed I just gave it a go without thinking too much and it’s been one of the best decisions of my life.

Hey you 🫵
Yes, you
I’m sure you probably lifted the wrong way today already😕
When we do these, we;
-Engage our back muscles in an unnatural way
-Put stress on the spine, causing compression and irritation of the discs and facet joints
The consequences of these include poor posture, chronic low back pain, stiffness and decreased athletic performance and overall quality of life
Use a proper form/posture and avoid unnecessary complications :)

Ok
I have been neglecting my neck health and i’ve got pain in my right side, irradiating towards the scapula. It hurts to put head back (like it was gonna break, i need support from hands to put it straight again) too.
the thing is that we’re about to move so we didn’t invest in a work place. So I work like i was a baby having tummy time (broken coccyx won’t allow me to work sitting for a long time) or with my head supported on the wall (shorter periods of time)
I know i shouldn’t have but
now it’s past gone
i can’t turn my neck right for a week now
is that a “see a doctor”’point?
i’ve been taking toragesic but it’s mostly analgesic and not for inflammation

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome cont.d
I talked about symptoms of CTS anda how we can prevent CTS on my previous cast
but what if we’re already having the symptoms?
i explained how we can test for it and be sure we have CTS first and I explained some exercises that can help relieve the symptoms
note: if the exercises don’t help relieve the symptoms after a period of time, would be great to visit the hospital.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
As people who spend extended periods working on laptops or desktops on daily basis, this is a condition we are prone to.
CTS is a condition where the median nerve gets compressed in the carpal tunnel, basically at the wrist.
The symptoms include, pain, numbness and tingling sensation in the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring fingers.
Over time, these symptoms can lead to hand weakness, difficulty gripping objects, and in some cases, a sensation of swelling in the affected hand. It is important for us who regularly engage in computer work to be mindful of this condition and take preventive measures.
If anyone’s experiencing any of the symptoms, let me know in the comment
