Carla is an AMAZING physical therapist and my newest coworker in the clinic. And since physical therapists have pain and issues just like everyone else, we try to help each other when we can. Carla has made a lot of progress in the hip since the last time I posted about it but there is still work to do 💪🏻 The symptoms that she experiences are very common and are emblematic of a diagnosis called “Dancer’s Hip”. Relieving tension in the muscles with manual therapy and improving the strength and control of the hip flexors is the most effective treatment. #physicaltherapy #dancersoftiktok @Carla

Original Post on TT from: @vel The psoas is a complicated and stubborn muscle that seems to hold onto a lot of secrets. But by following these steps I’ve seen a massive difference in the tightness and discomfort in this muscle. Thanks as always to Carla for being such a great model in my videos. She is an amazing PT herself and when she started at the clinic earlier this year I’m sure she had no idea I’d be asking her to help me out so much. If you think your psoas needs some in-person attention and you live in NYC, come in to see myself, Carla, or any of our other amazing PTs 🙌🏻 #physicaltherapy

There is no reason to vilify exercises that have been used successfully for decades. Instead it’s important to use some critical thinking and acknowledge the nuance of the need for different exercises for different people.

Neutral spine strengthening is an important part of my programming but so are a lot of other movements. #physicaltherapy

These words are being banned from having any presence on government websites and documents and if we don’t stand up to it I’m afraid that it will start to infect other sectors of our country. The war on science, empathy, understanding, etc. is as exhausting as it is terrifying. So I will try to continue to make posts like this to let everyone know where I stand. #physicaltherapy #science
