A patient recently told me, "I don't just need treatment. I need allyship." Patient expectations extend beyond recovery. We argue that patient expectations are not just prognostic factors; they're therapeutic targets. Free access for 50 days: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nhSh…

New AAOMPT podcast just dropped! Neck pain with Gwen Jull and Zhiqi Liang. The discussion challenges several common assumptions in manual physical therapy, including the idea that headache pain starting in the neck automatically means a cervical driver.

Our proposed hypothesis framework for MSK-related pain conditions. Pathology doesn't always tell the full picture. We believe this can address many factors that a person may have when presenting with pain.

Your passion around this project was palpable @ShepDPT Thanks for including me in this work. @CUPhysTher What’s next?
Excited to see this published with a great team. This was birthed from our OMPT fellowship and refined with actual use of PTs in the clinic and now peer reviewed. Hope it helps PTs/pts alike. @chadcookpt @DamianKeter @awmcdevittDPT @djclewpt

How important is SMT specificity? Our new paper shows specificity might matter less than we thought, but don’t misinterpret it! 🚨 Proper training & skill still matter such as good patient alliance, respectful hands-on techniques, adapting to patient comfort Open access soon!
