after a little snow delay, got my goodies from @APTAtweets i love that the notebook has inspiring quotes from PT leaders!

as far as my dog is concerned, today is puppy bowl sunday, not super bowl sunday

gotta start using 'pain pies' to think about nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic pain. they're most likely all involved but which one is the biggest player? and is there a crust?? psychosocial factors impacting the 'pie'?? #APTACSM

i wonder if instead of using 'overuse injuries' we could instead use 'load and capacity issue'? #APTACSM has got me thinking... i always thought that the term 'overuse' has a negative tone

i didn't expect this much engagment! that's awesome! i gotta credit Cara Lewis for the term 'load and capacity issue'. She explains it perfectly in the Biomechanics Matters 2.0 seminar for #APTACSM

so happy that I found out about #CSMAfterDark this year. It was so inpiring to hear and engage with amazing PT-minds. I really appreciated the discussion about student professionalism, I took away a lot of really great advice and will try to apply!

it's the last day of february and i just finished reading my 4th book of the year...and i think the shortest one was 250 pages!

In this #SundayMorning curated reading: 1) We get into the molecular weeds to learn about how exercise serves as a “poly pill” against chronic diseases 2) This commentary in The Lancet describes what is known and what needs to be learned about ultra-processed foods and health

after a whole lot of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, i had a really great day at clinical! managed a full caseload, felt good with multi-tasking and felt like i reached out to each individual patient (and used a bit of motivational interviewing!)

i don’t even drink my coffee in the mornings, i save it for the afternoon to help with my post-lunch sleepiness 😅

“Movement is the greatest pain killer on the planet earth.” Loving this #APTAStudentSocial on pain science with Dr. Adriaan Louw! APTA Students @APTAtweets

“pain is normal. living with pain is not” “ask not what you can’t do, ask what you CAN do!” #APTAStudentSocial Dr. Louw dropping some amazing clinical pearls

so in the middle of my drive to maine i realize that just maaaaybeeee spending an entire year in jersey just possibly changed my driving patterns 😬

starting the second week of my inpatient rehab clinical, surprised how much i enjoy it!

a patient at clinical the other day told me that i look like a ‘superhero character’ 🥺❤️ i got a little emotional ngl

"be comfortable with being uncomfortable" heard this my first day of PT school, heard it again today at my commencement. After 3 years, I fully embrace this! I've learned more from being uncomfortable than I ever did being comfortable, bring on the challenges!

i understand the reason for the 2 week wait for our NPTE results but my anxiety sure didn’t 😭 but the day is finally here! ready to get to work!
