You know a frustrating amount of information?
Like you can totally tell when something is wrong, and can probably even identify what is causing it. BUT you have no idea how to fix it?
And THATS how they keep you in this pt school thing. Bc of you just drop out now you’ll only ever be like “well you DEF have a right functional thoracic scoliosis from carrying your backpack over one shoulder, but idk see a real PT I am just half a PT”
You know, that month before finals when there’s an exam twice a week, every week. Also known as “Finals in April”.




You mean working to improve strength takes more time and effort??

and Kendall’s lack of organization are like, 73 of them.
A “B-” average is just cruel.

Safety first kiddies!

It fluctuates anywhere between “holy shit I am so fucking smart at kines” to “holy shit I am the most pathetic excuse for a student of physical therapy” and most of the time I’m at one of the two extremes and it’s exhausting

If you have read some great peer reviewed research lately, share it! I’d love to see what is being done. Better to get started reading up on the latest and greatest work in the field if we’re going to top them!
I feel a little sorry, but..

It’s a fine, hair of a line. Kendall usually takes a beating. Then you just start watching Netflix while a quiet voice in your head is scolding you but you’re too busy deliberately not caring and like It’s all a mess basically.


Wear sunglasses inside. This gives you three different benefits:
1. No one knows you’re sleeping
2. No one knows you’re crying
3. No one knows you’re silently judging their gait pattern.

It’s even more ironic when the exams are over exercise principles.

During particularly frustrating weeks, when you lose points for stupid reasons or you’re bored to tears reading through power points or you’re up way too god damn late studying for your fourth test of the week and you have no idea if you’re even cut out to practice physical therapy, think of this.
1. Every brilliant professor you’ve had started out EXACTLY where you are. Not everyone comes out of the womb understanding roll and glide kinematics.
2. You have only just started your life in pt. give yourself a break for tough concepts.
3. Just because your classmate is a wiz at neuro doesn’t mean you have to be too.
4. Look at how much you’ve learned in the last year. Or the last semester. Or hell, in the last week. You are learning SO MUCH. Much more than you aren’t retaining.
5. You gotta start somewhere. You don’t just get handed a doctorate degree for nothing.
Anywho, carry on, pt nerds. Finish the week strong. That is all.

me: Just enjoy Chem I, okay?

Because nothing relieves test anxiety quite like stripping down in class and letting your classmates roll the stress away.

What presents on the outside as opposed to what is actually happening on the inside.



Just think of the possibilities

Manipulation of the cervical spine was the treatment.
Lol k
Anyways, my posts are pretty passive aggressive and I enjoy it and i hope you do too. Good luck this week fellow pt nerds
I am sad for your lumbar spine.
I’ll see you in a few years for treatment.


Wrong. About 4.5 years of school and a doctorate degree wrong.




I haven’t done a tour in Iraq and then been sent in for my second, but I imagine it feels very similar to how I felt this week.
