Which ones resonate with YOU? The infographic below is from Dr. Molly Parker - who has post concussion syndrome and is still recovering from it years later. She is using her trauma and knowledge to help others. Make sure to listen to her powerful story on Untold Physio Stories Podcast According to UNC-Charlotte PTG Research Group, people who experience trauma reap the benefits of what's called post-traumatic growth. Interestingly, they noted that the five top benefits from post-traumatic growth correlate with the five regrets that people had on their deathbeds. Suggesting that trauma and the subsequent perspective/grow it provides, may help lead to a life of greater clarity and purpose.... and with any luck, less regret. . 👉Real talk, it took a long time for me after my concussion and the whole life falling apart thing to begin to approach my injury as an opportunity for growth. Eventally, I stopped pushing through/denying my reality and instead begin to work WI...

First things first, I used to give credit where credit was due. That was a key part of The Eclectic Approach and Modern Manual Therapy. However, I received cease and desists for using the terminology of Institutes I don't teach for - it's not like I'm not giving credit where I originally learned these concepts! If you or your patient has pain with squatting, try these variations Tibial IR and Femoral ER with closed chain flexion Tibial ER and Femoral IR with closed chain extension (coming up from the squat) The patient I am talking about in the example (but not the PT I'm demoing on) had a patellar dislocation a few months ago and has been afraid to have his knee go into extension in all closed chain activities. With this Functional Mobilization, I restored threat free knee extension and was able to overpressure it at end range. It was also easy enough for the patient to replicate hourly for his Recovery Plan (what I am now calling the HEP). Functional Mobil...

Ahhh, in the conservative rehabilitation field, we do not like seeing positive results from surgery studies! Just being honest with that statement, but, at times, some individuals are very appropriate for surgical procedures.  Most surgeons (and of course insurance companies now) will even say surgery is not first-line approach, especially for Cervicogenic Dizziness.  We have actually written on this topic before in a previous post that you can find  here . In 2019,  Li et al  assessed the clinical outcomes of patients with cervical vertigo who failed to improve with conservative care and who were subsequently treated with percutaneous disc decompression with coblation nucleoplasty (PDCN).  To my knowledge, this is the first long term study showing outcomes of surgery (minimally invasive) for the treatment of Cervicogenic Dizziness or Cervical Vertigo.

There are times when you know you have to address a patient's fear avoidance and maladaptive beliefs in order to make a difference in their pain and function. Sometimes you can try your best with many different ways of modulating pain, changing perception and reconceptualizing the patient's core beliefs about their issues. You can try your best, and talk patients out of scans... but on occasion, they're correct and they do need the MRI.
