Was at a local business the other day…

I was getting a new storage unit 2 days ago and noticed these cards at one of the desks. When we were wrapping up, I was handed one and asked to give them a Google review. I scanned the QR code and in literally less than a minute they had a 5 star review.

Of course it’s easier if people have a Google account/email and are signed into it on their phone. Which many do and are.

I noticed on Google this particular location for SmartStop has a ton of reviews and is at a 4.9 - many more reviews than where I was and a much higher ranking than any other as well. I’m not surprised.

Trying to do more pre-planning for each year so I can revisit instead of always creating something new.

This is a list I made of various conditions, articles, and videos that could be done each year re-occurring from awareness of awareness months for various conditions. I was wanting to post this list to see if anyone else has any consistency topics that they redo or reuse every year. Outside of awareness month topics there are also ads that can be reused based upon repeated holidays every year.

I would love to collaborate on this list to see other MSK topics and how you would use them year by year on repeat with some updates.

What permissions are generally needed for a hospital visit? I have a patient that wanted me to do a hospital visit for her parent. I told her with approval from her physician and hospital that I could do a visit.

Is there any paperwork outside of the normal paperwork I should know about to keep myself protected?

Sciatica after 7 minutes

I have a new patient, 44 year old man, who has L sciatic pain, starting in his left gluteals and down his left leg upon standing or walking/running for 7 or more minutes, but all other positions or activities actually improves the pain: sitting, lying, weightlifting, biking, squatting, jump rope, sit ups, etc although it worsens after hours of sitting at work. On walks he often has to squat to get relief. Sensation is numb tingling to knife sharpness or electrical. He has had imaging diagnosing mild stenosis L5-S1 but nothing the doctors considered worth intervening for. Onset of sciatica was insidious 2 years ago with no clear initiating incident. He’s had PT for a year with no effect.

EXSTORE: He is very strong and my pressure is not that well calibrated I think, so at best I felt a little sponginess in the TFL and gluteus minimus/posterior gluteus medius. But it was unclear. He did have more restriction in SLR, about 60-70 degrees compared to 80-90 for right.

Only other thing going on...
