I'm Sorry and I Should be Flogged for Not Doing This

Hi Supporters,

The community is about to get a whole lot cleaner. All video content will now be presented a lot better.

All videos are being uploaded DIRECTLY to this community now. No external links. No clogging up the News Feed (when viewing from laptop).

What this means:

On laptop/desktop: All videos including webinars and recorded Q&A and round table sessions can be found under 'Content' in the menu on the left hand side.

On your phone using the app, all videos will be right in the news feed and can be played right in the app. It looks a heck of a lot better.

The News Feed will be cleaned up and primarily for Supporters to post case studies, questions, and comments as y'all have been doing already. It will just look better.

Thank you! I'm still learning and always looking to improve things.

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...
