We are primary care providers, period!

Physical therapists use physical, neurological, behavioral, nutritional, psychological, and depending on the jurisdiction - imaging studies and pharmacological interventions - to diagnose and treat acute and chronic health conditions.

It is time we step in and demonstrate how to provide true “health care” versus the “sick care” that is offered to people which is reactive, costly, and ineffective.

Physical therapists practicing in primary care models can offer countless examples of its efficacy for patients.

We need to continually push back against any insurance company, state licensing board, or professional colleague who tries to block or disempowers us from functioning at the top of our scope of practice.

Yes and yes

🦴 A patient’s fracture risk increases as one leg stand time decreases, meaning that the shorter the time a patient is able to stand on one leg, the higher their risk of fracture is.
⁠
⏰ Improve one leg stand time = decrease injury risk!
