Had the awesome privilege to catch up with an incredible therapist this morning. Awesome catching up in person and being able to pick his brains a little too. Thank you ⁦@Retlouping⁩

Before you have another discussion on posture back pain and causation maybe read this uppsalareports.org/articles/… PTs like to argue from ignorance (it seems) to try to prove they are right. Causation can be simple & complex. Learn about dispositions and mutual manifestation partners

To develop a good therapeutic alliance which is key to successful outcomes having sufficient time to talk to patients is vital. Unfortunately this is lacking in many clinical settings which may be the first barrier to overcome! #LessPatients #MoreSuccess sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

And I did try it.. it’s a very expensive clicking device. Imagine giving yourself a little flick with a finger. Same sensation. I never knew I could erase pain by flicking the painful area...

Lol. 44million? All he is saying is ‘yes I m guilty...... how much?’ A better punishment would be to make him work for free for Women’s Refuge for 3 years for free. Come on Harvey... Get your Heart right

Physio's have to recognise that our approach might not suit every patients needs. We have to be adaptable and sometimes even when we adapt we still might be the wrong physio. Make use of your team, use your colleagues, don't try to be everyone's Physio, it's not possible.

Hi @ACadogan_NZ. I’m treating an anterior shoulder dislocation. About 16 weeks post. I’m sure I’m seeing median nerve adhesion causing parasthesia at night. Is this common and if so any suggestions re best management and timeframes to settle? Thanks heaps – at Auckland, New Zealand
