"Thank you for assisting me in my CABG3 healing process. I have appreciated our time & chats together. Thank you for teaching me. Much has been accomplished with your gentle pushes and assistance the past several weeks.”

Cardiac rehab isn't dead although insurance and corporate clinics may say so. Just find the right person.

12 sessions over 60 days and my client was able to return to walking her neighborhood without a walker & no rest breaks for 30+min. When we started she could only do 5 laps in her house with symptoms.

My 94 yr old client is getting his social life back up to where he wants it. He and his wife love to go out to symphonies and speaker series. I'm jealous he gets to meet Kamala Harris tonight for one.

6mo ago he couldn't walk around his home with a walker without fear of falling or his legs giving out. He has climbed back into function and strength. I tease him that he is gaining inches each week by improving his postural muscles. His endurance is skyrocketing. Just 1x a week of strength, balance, and HIIT workouts. That's it.

Do the things you love when you age. As Bernie says "I don't have that many years left!!”

Thoughts?

Any experiences like this as a lowly allied health provider?

I can say it has happened way more than I'd like to admit to. How broken is that?

I'll always take in another view from someone and discuss, not berate.

Egos are strong out there.

There is no best exercise. Just move heavy stuff. Use variety. Strength training is necessary and modifiable for everyone.

Hope this helps.

I completed an upper body dry needling course this weekend and nerded out with my fellow fitness PT nerds.

We were in class from Friday to Sunday and I'm glad I don't have a needle phobia.

Dry Needling is a fantastic modality to have in my PT tool box.

It can treat a myriad of issues and I'll hopefully be posting more on this. Especially as the Spring Baseball and Softball season gets rolling for our athletes looking for a good recovery strategy to help prevent injury and recover faster.

So who has heard of dry needling?

Sunday Thoughts.

4 clients for a Friday and I'm thankful!

New news.

MRIs of healthy old shoulders will show degeneration of the rotator cuff. Like partial thickness tearing. However, those people didn't even have pain.

To sum it up. The MRIs definitely help ID anatomical deficits, but it doesn't mean we do surgery to correct something not bothering us.

I have definitely sent people to surgeons after stalling out on further improvements with conservative therapy and alternatives.

Make educated choices! Find the right people.

Easy assessment for older patients with sudden confusion and recent sickness. This is a common tool in ICU settings.

Treatment for delirium begins with symptom recognition. Reorienting patients frequently and providing daytime stimulation through exercise or outdoor activities is helpful. Sunlight and limiting naps during the day can be beneficial. Reducing background noise and creating a calm environment at night are also key.

What is delirium?

A sudden, temporary state of severe confusion, disorientation, and reduced awareness, often caused by underlying medical issues like infections, medication side effects, or organ failure. It typically manifests with rapid, fluctuating changes in mental state, memory, or behavior.

Try the CAM ICU test to rule out delirium if your loved one is experiencing this.
