🔥TOP 5 FRIDAYS🔥 Patients often present to the clinic with a variety of preconceived beliefs and perceptions that will shape their experience. The beliefs that we hold are often critical and essential to the identity we display. But what happens when those beliefs are built from irrational theories and are detrimental towards their health? As health care practitioners, it is not only important for us to help patients make sense of their pain but it is pertinent that we address any maladaptive belief guiding them towards a more logical way of thinking. However, if you really think about how you came to believe the things you feel are important, you would know it didn’t happen overnight.  So don’t expect the same for your patients. Instead, develop a process where you slowly integrate new thoughts and ideas into their mind allowing them to rationalize them into new beliefs. Here are 5 steps in accomplishing this difficult task as described similar to the art of plant...

By Dr. Sean M. Wells, DPT, PT, OCS, ATC/L, CSCS, CNPT, Cert-DN Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient that can be obtained from the sun and has seemingly endless roles in human health. Despite our ability to gain vitamin D from the sun, most Americans are deficient, perhaps due to improper or lacking sun exposure, dietary patterns, or other reasons. Supplementation is simple, effective, and has been shown to have positive impacts on not just our bones -- it can help muscle strength, balance, and even the immune system for some patients. Yet another role for vitamin D may be in the prevention of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV. BPPV is one of the most common neuro-otological conditions DPTs see in clinical practice. BPPV can leave patients with a spinning sensation, inability to sleep, and balance or fall issues. Physical therapists commonly treat patients with BPPV using the evidenced based technique known as the Epley Maneuver. Other treatments include patient educat...

Staying updated with the best evidence can be very challenging. Just searching the keyword “pain” in pubmed, 60,000 articles were published in the year 2020 alone. Plus with every article you read, you find 5 more articles that either confirm or refute the conclusions forcing you to want to read more. Because of this, I often get asked how do you find your articles, how do you access them, and how do you know which articles are well done vs which ones aren't. These are all great questions to consider so I am delivering my top 5 steps with how I stay updated with the evidence.

I am currently undertaking my Musculoskeletal Specialisation program, which is a two year program focusing on improving our clinical reasoning, assessment and management skills when treating musculoskeletal conditions. While COVID-19 has affected our face-to-face capacity, the program has given me a lot of motivation to continue improving my own skills, but also in continuing to progress the knowledge of all physio’s. Technology and research is changing so quickly, so we need to keep sharing our new knowledge and always being open to learning! The following case study, a requirement of the program, gave me the opportunity to delve into the CRPS literature and give me a greater understanding of psychosocial contributors to pain, and how to manage them. This was just published in the Australian Physiotherapy Association’s InTouch magazine, so can now be shared! Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition which presents with a severe pain experience dispropor...
