Experienced the purest moment on placement today: One of our patients had walked independently for the first time since admission and the whole bay were clapping and cheering her on. They then finished by singing together with the nurses. A moment I will remember for a while 🥰

No one warned me about all the admin and faffing I’d need to do as a physio. Especially being the only physio. I moan about it on the regular but it is very necessary. Just want to see my residents! Haha

One of our residents cognition and physical ability is improving so well post stroke. I always joke that he should call me princess. He’s been practicing his writing with his unaffected side (previously non dominant side also) and was proud as punch to give me this 😭😍

1) *With pt consent* in clinic today; suspected distal biceps tendon rupture 4/7 after attempting to move a heavy piece of gym equipment alone. Current Hx of anabolic steroid use. So thought I’d make a 🧵 out of it

PHYSIO TOP TIP: Remember that just because someone improved AFTER your treatment, it doesn’t mean it was BECAUSE of your treatment!

I’m usually one for positivity but recently I was sexually abused (verbally/gestures) by a service user. Work have been great&I’ve withdrew input but Im heartbroken seeing how much they have deconditioned&lost all of their independence again. Why do I feel guilty? Need a holiday!

Funny thing about us hcp.. We're just humans. We fail and succeed. We got bad days and good days. We got favourite shows and songs. We got phobias. We got anxiety. We got pain. We got humour. We got families. We got friends. Some are big. Some are small. We care.

Really can’t express how important this is. Exercise doesn’t have to: - be 3 sets of 10 - be painful - burn X number of calories - hit a certain heart rate zone. Move your body in a way that feels good!

Physio Twitter work your magic🪄: Can anyone help with any guidelines around safety of mobilising patients with suspected or confirmed PE. We are looking for some evidence based practise🙏🫁🩺 Acute Physiotherapy Team, BTH Care of Older Person Integrated Therapies ACPRC

So excited that I finally have a start date for my new job! Senior physio in Neuro rotations at Moseley hall. Literally wanted to work here since I was a student. So thankful for all I have learned but SO SO ready for this new challenge! Actual dream.

Hospital acquired deconditioning (HAD) is often an avoidable harm that we can manage better! Why aren't we measured on this. And if we were do you think HAD would reduce? Resulting in improved function, reduced delirium, maintained muscle mass, and more ppl returning home

One step at a time 🪜😀

Day 3 of my new role and despite feeling like a little thick fish in a big pond again I am loving it. So much to learn and surrounded by such a supportive and knowledgable team already. Miss my old place but so excited to see how I progress here. All the things to learn!

Bad day in clinic I failed to realign a single spine, or pop any discs back in

Today was a super teaching day. One of my favourite every year. Respiratory skills 🫁 🫁 amazing to have our first ever graduate back to teach Amber Roberts and now old timers Greg Stretton and David Gaskell

Much needed few days of annual leave. We’ve been hiking, picked/eaten pumpkins and reset. Back to work tomorrow. Loving my new role but recently it’s been a lot to deal with! Happy Halloween from Gus and I! Stay safe, eat all the sweets.
