It’s almost as if…. body diversity is a natural occurrence. 😳 We have no problem recognizing that some people are a size 6 shoe and some people are a size 11 shoe. Bodies are no different!! Why can’t we let all people exist safely in whatever body they are in??🤦🏻‍♀️

I was in the most narrow MRI machine yesterday - to the point where I lost sensation in my arms from being squeezed so tight. And all I could think about was that if I was just a bit larger, I’d be sent to the ZOO.

Saw some really dumb banter on here about the way a PT looks mattering… Maybe it’s true. Maybe it does matter to some. My fat patients are grateful to see a physical therapist who understands what it feels like to move in a larger body. Fat physio for the win.

@RottenInDenmark Women are under-studied on basically every health measure EXCEPT weight loss. Which makes sense because “lose weight” is all doctors want to say to us

😂😂😂 I’m gonna be single forever. Good thing I like my own company. Almost as bad as someone wanting to change my body is their inability to use proper English. You’re. Swipe ⬅️

This week, a patient spent most of the evaluation telling me everything wrong with their body. It wasn’t the usual: where things hurt, what they can’t do. It was “I hate my knees. My ankles are fat…” I wish I had responded “would you let your friends talk about you like that?”

GLP-1 commercial during the Olympic Games. What a gut punch. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Couldn’t sleep. Made the poor decision to hop on here and had 50+ new followers that were all bots. Accounts made in the last year with no posts following a ton of people with links to xxx rated material in many bios. Late night block session… maybe I can sleep now.

Scheduling team from my dr’s office called for a minor procedure. They have my medical record… still asked for height/weight and then couldn’t schedule me due to BMI. Now I need to wait for a diff scheduler. If those are the criteria- why not check the chart first?

I find this to be scary… do we know the side effects long term? I’m sure some people are being helped by these meds… but are we even asking the right questions?

Heading into 2025 as a PT focused on learning more about body image, body grief, body schema, how we perceive and sense our own body at rest and with movement. Setting some intentions and getting organized with bodyimagewithbri

We're barely out of #EDAW & it's #WorldObesityDay 😒 So just a reminder that if an eating disorder service/trainer talks about "treating obesity" it's a red flag because: ➡️ Just the concept of "treating obesity" positions fat as bad & increases fatphobia & weight stigma 🧵⬇️

This week I saw a patient in a larger body wearing knee braces that didn’t even come close to fitting them properly. They said doctor advised bracing for a month but knee pain is so much worse. Generic knee braces DO NOT fit everyone. Bodies come in different shapes and sizes!
