If the knee looks good, it probably is. That includes ROM + dynamometry (don't guess, assess). Local problems cause local inhibition, so good strength makes the knee less likely. Post-activity knee pain + even a hint of hip history? Check the hips. More nickilicphysio.substack.com/…

Trying to put together a master document of KEY palpation areas for Physiotherapists (boney landmark, muscle, joint, nerve, etc). If anyone has ANY resources for ANY area and is kind enough to share them with me I would greatly appreciate it! :)

The goal is not to just “re-hab” people. It is also to help people “re-inhabit” their lives again.

Your rehab plan is only as good as your ability to articulate it to your clients. Clear. Concise. Simplify. Simplify again. Simplify one more time. Email them a copy.

If there is no need for specificity in SMT then why do we need to take multi-level courses over years at great cost? Modern MSK keyclinskills.ca

Keep finding ways to optimize your clinical sessions with pts Spend as much time on developing expert communication as you do on manual skills/exercise library What are your tips for transitioning between introduction ➡️ subjective ➡️ objective ➡️ treatment ➡️ summary/plan❓

Everyone is on a very unique and personal health and fitness journey. Some people played highly competitive sport their entire young adult life where conditioning meant “run until you puke” and are trying to find ways to develop a healthy relationship with fitness.
