Will 2023 finally be the year?

Will you have enough money “saved up?“

Or, will you continue to dump money into cloths, gadgets and vacations instead of your career?

Will you have enough “time?”

Or will it be another year spending time on social media, watching Netflix and “hanging out” rather than reading, learning and growing?

At some point you’ll need to stop blaming lack of money, lack of time your boss, the economy, insurance companies and whatever else PTs are blaming things on these days and take a good look in the mirror.

You are 100% in control of your career. Either grab a hold and make the move, or continue down the road to mediocrity, frustration and burn out.

January is coming…

🤡Sound “crazy?” Too bad it’s all too often true.

😵‍💫Are you a ‘21 DPT grad that’s less than a year into your career and wondering what the hell is going on? Or worse, are you 3 years into your job and relying on gimmicks and false narratives?

Did you think that you were going to be mentored by the “experienced” PTs at your new job? 🤣

Did you expect to get clarity with the questions you never had addressed in PT school just by getting more reps?🥴

Are you expecting CEU courses to fill the holes in your skill set?🤬

Did you put off joining the MemberShift because you were “too busy,” and now you realize how far behind you are?😢

The longer you wait, the further your dream career gets and the faster burn out hits you in the face.

Stop the “madness” now. DM me a 👍🏼and I will tell you how to get serious and stop “joking” around.

It sounds basic, but how many fibs and flat out lies have PT’s been telling patients for decades?

🤮”Slipped discs,” VMO weakness, subluxations, “over pronation,” trigger points, “corrective” exercise, etc.

What if there was a way to base our evaluations, treatments and patient education on actual fact?
💥There is!💥

What if there were scientific principles that we memorized in school but we never learned how to apply in the clinic?
🔥There are!🔥

Are you ready to be the professional that teaches principles based on science instead of concocting stories based on misinformation?

When you’re ready to step up to fact and science based thinking and clinical skills, we ready to show you how.

🤨What do PTs do that is unique to PT?

🦗… 🦗…🦗… 🦗…

Why do Doctors of Physical Therapy, with a degree that took seven years to obtain, so proudly post s**t like Thera gunning, dry needling, cupping, “correctives,” stretching, foam rolling, electrical stimulation, etc videos on social?!

Do you know who else posts videos of that? Personal trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, strength coaches, and just about anybody else.

❓Why do we continually level the playing field between medical professionals and the others?

👉🏼Not saying that strength coaches and personal trainers aren’t good at what they do, I’d probably see one of those before I’d see a conventional physical therapist anyway.

❓If you are a DPT, please post below why you use any of the above listed gimmicks if you do. I’d love to have an explanation.

👊🏼If you actually use critical thinking, science driven treatment strategies along with patient education, and refuse to lower your standards, kudos! We’d love to have you join us.

💥Ready to get out of the conventional model and away from the noise? Hit me with a DM and I’ll tell you how we can help you.

What should be your number one focus when treating patients with scoliosis?

🤨Spinal alignment? Nope.
🚫Stretching the tight muscles and strengthening the long muscles? Strike two.
😡Bracing? Not even close.
💩Taking x-rays to scare them into multiple visits per week for several months all with a paid up front, “cost effective“ chiropractic membership? Only if you’re a scam artist.

Let this patient tell you what we worked on and why that’s important to her.

You are not going to change structural scoliosis in patients who are post puberty. So stop trying to scare them, stretch them, correct them, massage them, brace them or use whatever money making gimmick is out there to pray on the general public.

If you want real results, that get your patients back to where they want to be functionally and you’re having problems figuring out how to get there, DM me and I’ll help you out.

😩I get it, you graduated from PT school, feel like you have holes in your skill set, didn’t get enough reps in your clinical rotations, you’re confused by all of the noise that you’re being hit with and you’re looking for help.

Here’s what CEU courses and manual therapy certifications won’t get you, clarity, a thought process, success and a career.

What do you think your future career would look like if you had;
👉🏼a mentor who was where you are, and is where you want to be,
😃a community of like-minded professionals who is reinventing physical therapy,
💥monthly video modules with worksheets dripped directly to you,
✅24 hour access to a chat room for questions and answers
🔥and two monthly zoom calls for free coaching and case studies?

👉🏼There is a better way than what everyone else is doing, and it’s much easier than you think it would be.

Where are we now?

😩Dry needling
🚫Cupping
😡K tape
🤦🏽Thera Gun
🤢MFR
💩SFMA
🤬Stretching
👎🏽Massage
🥶Cryo gimmicks
🚶‍♂️Orthotics…

Any evidence to support this junk other than it feels good, it looks cool on social media, patients ask for it and MDs circle it on referrals?
Nada.
Zilch.
Zero.
None.

💯Stop combing through studies to support broken thought processes.

💥As of now, human physiology has yet to be proven bogus.

04/17/2022

Are you THAT medical professional?

🤦🏽The ATC that tapes and/or braces athletes patellas to “stabilize” them?
😡The PT that prescribes VMO strengthening and ITB stretching to “align” the patella.
🙅🏼‍♀️The MD that recommends patellar “realignment” surgery?
🤢The chiro that manipulates knees?

Why?

Do you struggle when patients complain of pain with hopping, jumping, stairs, running, squats, sports or have been diagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome, Osgood Slaughter disease or chondromalasia?

🚫Have you forgotten lower extremity biomechanics?
😩Did you not learn how to apply anatomy and physiology?
💩Are you just “doing what everyone else does?”

Why?

🧚‍♀️When you are ready to kick fairytales to the curb and treat your patients with science, hit me with a DM.

😃What a wonderful world it will be!

🤨But what will conventional PTs, Chiros and gimmick driven trainers have left to Tweet?

💯This could spur a renaissance of critical thinking and the true medical professional.
⚡️Just imagine how much more effective evaluations and treatments will be!
👉🏼Picture of patients actually making functional gains after every visit!
🔥How crazy will it be to have professionals and patients no longer talking about symptoms and how to modify them?!

💩Or, the usual suspects will just reinvent more symptom modification gimmicks that look cool on social media, sell on Amazon and put us right back where we already are.

When was the last time you needed to know ultrasound parameters, what columnar cells look like under a microscope, application of Tukey’s test vs ANOVA or what blood vessel supplies the duodenum in the clinic?

How about applying the law of reciprocal inhibition to a hamstring tear patient, when to progress an ACL reconstruction from single to A-planar exercise, explaining the neurophysiology behind isometrics to a patient or knowing how to get a patient to stop using orthotics?

Probably never for the first one, and hopefully every day for the second.

If you’re interested in clarity rather than frustration in the clinic, get to the link in our bio and learn how.
