In a short moment of looking away from the news… I’m learning a bit about photography and wanted to take a poll. When you filter your photos, do you tend to lean towards warm? Or cold?

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.
In 1933.

They always come for trans people first.

I’m writing a book in 2025! I’ve been sharing a bit about starting the process on Instagram… but will also post some progress here! Lots of healthcare related queries where the answer is “it depends” alongside stories from my career. Yay!

Pediatric hand XRAYS always look funny to me… huge space between bones and a little older the growth plates make it look like there are a lot more bones. Fascinating.

A 🧵. Back in early 2022, the editorial staff of the Cardiopulmonar Physical Therapy Journal approved the development of a Special Issue on Long Covid, and against all better judgement, I was selected to be its Guest Editor. The Special Issue published today. Here are the contents.

10 years into clinical practice and now seeing my first vascular thoracic outlet syndrome patient. SO different from neuro TOS which I’ve seen 3x. Wow! I hope conservative care helps. So glad I reviewed the brachial plexus and vasculature of the upper extremity this month.

Anybody else throw a fist pump of excitement when they go to donate blood and have high enough iron levels?! Just me?! 13.7 and so proud.
Today marks 4 years without my dad. Proof that my heart still is beating despite being broken. Grief sucks. Donate blood if you can.

This holiday season, I’m praying for iontophoresis and ultrasound to be removed from the PT licensing exam and for any content about Long Covid, POTS, chronic pain, or chronic illness to replace it. It’s time.

Had a little kiddo doing this exercise in the clinic today for the first time. When they got to the top position, they yelled out:
“Woah, my armpits!”

In 2025, I'm committing to writing my first book. I say first because I have a list of topics I want to write about in the future and have decided this one will come first because I've been writing bits for a while.
As I'm in the early outline stages - I'm crowd sourcing for tips. 🧵

It’s December 16. That leaves 15 days to finish continuing education if your deadline is the end of the year… What’s everyone learning about?
I’m completing the Clinical Athlete Provider program for training athletes and the Workwell Health program about Long Covid. Very different. Both fantastic.

Working my way through the Clinical Athlete Provider Certification learning about strength and hypertrophy while reflecting on seeing a patient yesterday 2 months after shoulder injury who went to PT elsewhere and never lifted heavier than 2#.

Exercise is the answer for many patients.
Exercise IS NOT the answer for some.
If you believe that exercise is always the solution- you will inevitably harm some people.
Just like medication- you need to know when a treatment is not indicated and what dose is appropriate.

I work with kids quote of the day:
Me: Can you tell me who lives in your house?
Patient: My mom, my dad, my brother, some dogs, some cats, and some geckos.
Me: wow! You have a whole zoo at home!
Patient: My brother is part of the zoo.
