GN Nostriches! 💜 quick PT fact for the night: Osteoarthritis & Physical Therapy **with evidence-based research referenced at the bottom 🧠** Did you know that physical therapy can be a game-changer for knee osteoarthritis? Research shows that manual therapy, when combined with strengthening exercises, can significantly improve pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. In fact, a systematic review and meta-analysis found that orthopaedic manual therapy can lead to improved outcomes, including reduced pain and improved functional ability, for individuals with knee osteoarthritis. If you're living with knee osteoarthritis, consider talking to a physical therapist about how manual therapy and exercise can help you feel better and move more easily.

GM Nostr! 💜☀️ After having spent about a week learning about how #Nostr works, I feel it’s time to change things up and add more about myself (without giving away too much of my own privacy). About me: • #Fitness, #health and #wellness are a few of my biggest passions and I love to educate others on how they can become better a version of themselves hence why I decided to become a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) • Avid #pickleball competitor since the early 2020 and not even covid could stop me from being out there playing with every fiber of my being. Humbly consider myself in between 3.5 - 4.0 skill level • Since the age of 2, I was diagnosed with bilateral, progressive severe-to-profound hearing loss. Currently wear hearing aids, have high level lip-reading proficiency in speech comprehension, and speak orally really well despite all odds. Technically speaking, I am considered hard-of-hearing and/or deaf with a lowercase “d” since I do not communicate via sign language • I like learning about #Bitcoin, Nostr, and #Monero. I personally feel these three, as #decentralized protocols and #proofofwork assets, are insanely valuable in their standalone right with its specific use cases. I can’t help but think we are quite literally on the brink of !unfathomable! change from our current, obsolete global financial system, and as @Lyn Alden says: “nothing will stop this train”. Enjoy the ride! Main goal for me is to connect with many of y’all and garner enough attention to build my brand as a DPT on nostr. What would you like to see/read more of with my content? What can I do to make this a better experience for you? Any tips or suggestions in the comments would be greatly appreciated! #physicaltherapy #growstr #nostr #silentpayment #plebstr #education #plebchain #docstr #asknostr #disability #privacy #exercise #zaps #workout #crypto #deaf #hardofhearing

Happy weekend Nostr! ☀️ Saturday Spotlight: Pelvic Floor Health Your pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in supporting your bladder, bowel, and sexual function - regardless of your gender! It's essential to keep these muscles strong and healthy to prevent issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pain. Ditch the outdated Kegels! New evidence-based practices recommend a more holistic approach to pelvic floor health. Try these easy-to-perform, physical therapist-approved exercises instead: • Diaphragmatic breathing: Engage your core and pelvic floor muscles by taking deep breaths into your diaphragm. • Pelvic tilts: Gently tilt your pelvis upwards and downwards to loosen and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. • Bridges: Engage your core and pelvic floor muscles by lifting your hips off the ground. General disclaimer: Remember to consult with a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor health to create a personalized exercise plan. It is essential to get personalized advice and exercises tailored to your specific, individual needs. If you have any questions pertaining to pelvic health and how vital it is for our daily life, shoot a comment down below! *** Remember if you have concerns about any of this, chances are someone else out in the Nostr ecosystem may be feeling the same as you. We’re not alone! Awareness is key. 🤙🏼

GM Nostr! It’s #FitnessFriday I bet y’all are now winding down from a busy week into a relaxing weekend. As you should! But let’s make sure we keep our metabolism in slow-burner mode before kicking back & binge watching your favorite shows & snacks (..any House M.D. fans out there!?) Fitness Friday can look like this: • Take a 30-minute walk around the block • Do a set (or 3!) of 10 pushups, 20 squats, and 30 lunges • Dance to your favorite song for 10 minutes straight (DJ BL3ND is my go-to) • Eat a balanced meal with plenty of fruits and veggies • Try 10-15 minutes of yoga or stretching to unwind • Drink at least 8 glasses of water throughout the day • Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work or in your home If y’all have any questions or need clarification, leave a comment below! I’d love to help you out. Remember, every bit counts! Keep your body moving and have a great weekend! #physicaltherapy #growstr #monero #wellness #nostr #silentpayment #health #plebstr #education #plebchain #doctorstr #asknostr #disability #privacy

Throwback Thursday: PT Myth-Busting Let's debunk some common myths and misconceptions about physical therapy: Myth #1: Physical therapy is only for injuries or post-surgery. Reality: PT can help with chronic pain management, improve mobility, and even prevent injuries from happening in the first place. Performance-based physical therapy is a real thing and can be implemented into your daily/weekly routine to reduce the risk of future injuries! Myth #2: You need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist. Reality: Not always. While some insurance plans may require a referral, many states in the US have direct access laws that allow you to see a PT without a doctor's note. Myth #3: Physical therapy is just a bunch of exercises I can do on my own. Reality: While exercise is a part of PT, a licensed physical therapist will work with you to create a customized plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Myth #4: Physical therapy is only for older adults or athletes. Reality: PT can benefit anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. From pediatrics to geriatrics, physical therapy can help improve mobility, strength, and function. Myth #5: Physical therapy is a quick fix. Reality: PT is a process that takes time and commitment. A good therapist will work with you to set realistic goals and develop a plan to achieve them. Don't believe the myths. Believe in the power of physical therapy.
