Hey I'm Tyler, born and raised in Lincoln, NE. Went to UNL then was in East Texas for 4 years as a GA/ full time AT. Moved back to Lincoln now to raise a family and am in my 6th year working at my HS alma mater and am teaching Pilates on the side cause the school salary isn't enough to support a whole family by itself. Which is why I'm working to build an AT business to be able to get out of the school position.

Hey yall! I was wondering do I NEED physician standing orders if Id like to focus my work primarily on bodywork /manual therapies ( grastin, cupping with movement, stretch, muscle energy, recovery tools, etc ) . Im extremely passionate about this side of our skillset and want to just take a leap and stop sleeping on myself lol

Great talk about getting sued, growing your business, finding supervising physicians, and local business partnerships! Enjoy everyone!

October is getting interesting! @Jenna Doggett @Vander Castillo @Jt Blanke @Josie Grigsby Excited to see where the month goes!

How do you guys deal with difficult patients? I had a 14-year-old basketball player come in the other day with back pain. He rated it a 7/10 when bending over and could only get down to his knees. 50 minutes later, he was able to straight-leg toe touch with his fist touching the floor. He could walk without pain. He could do high knees, butt kicks, and active warm-ups without pain. Objectively, we made a HUGE change. But he was still saying he “felt it.” So I asked him what he felt. “A stretch.” 😂 His dad was thrilled with the results. But I could tell the athlete wasn’t. And honestly, these are some of the patients I find the most difficult. When the objective findings improve dramatically, but the patient still isn’t satisfied because they can feel something, it can be frustrating. How do you guys handle these situations? How do you get the patient to understand the difference between “I feel something” and “I’m hurt”?
