hey guys☺️👋🏾 i know it’s been a while but life comes at you fast😅 here’s an update about what’s been going on in my world :

1. I graduated PT school in August 2023 🥳
2. Accepted my first job offer prior to graduation with an outpatient home-care company for geriatrics 👵🏾 🩼🦽🦴
3. Got engaged in October 2023💜
4. Passed the boards during the October 2023 cycle 📝
5. Got married in 2024 👰🏾‍♀️💍🤍

and here I am in 2025 preparing to renew my physical therapy license ALREADY 😱 🪪 sometimes I reflect and think about how long I felt school would be and honestly it flew by lol 😂 but renewing my license already is such a shock. Can’t believe it’s been over a year of me practicing as a physical therapist🥺 God is good indeed🙏🏾

anyways, i’m so happy to be back and will be posting more content related to my career and current practice.

happy Friday everyone 💙

hey guys💙🦴 welcome to my “PT with me” series🩼🦽

Here’s a snippet of my gait training session with an old stroke patient of mine. “Mr. Cool Guy” hasn’t been ambulatory in years but has tried to maintain his sit-to-stand and stand pivot transfers as much as he can independently. As you can see, his first attempt was challenging in part 1. Gait training is the toughest thing for us due to instability, knee buckling, and poor base of support — all of which are due to his left sided hemiparesis (weakness). However, he’s highly motivated so our first step was to get him into the parallel bars! Next, we’ll work on DME prescription to make gait training more efficient 🦵🏻So much room for progress, but we’re off to a great start🥰

how do you think he did overall ?

happy Friday 🩵

something cute and adventurous for today’s therapy session 🤓🐢🌿

As much as I love to abide by my plan of care, sometimes therapy looks like getting your patient to move a turtle out of their driveway to keep things fun and exciting ☺️ Safety training with walker usage is my priority for this particular patient, and squatting while relocating this cute little critter just so happened to be a bonus!

Geriatric ortho/neuromuscular rehabilitation can be as unique and unconventional as you make it 🥳

happy Monday guys!👋🏾👋🏾💙

For this week’s episode of “PT and me”, I wanted to hone in more on a special case I’ve been working on. And it entails prosthetic limb training for a patient of mine who has a right above-the-knee amputation🦵🏾🦿🦽

•
•
•

Often times, patient’s who undergo AKA surgical interventions encounter a lot of challenges due to their now altered center of gravity, which affects their base of support. Included in their list of challenges are hip flexor tightness due to prolonged sitting in their wheelchairs, and also hip abductor and extensor weakness while in a standing weight bearing position.

My patient had a prosthetic limb before I got into the picture, but with his progressing dementia there’s been quite a bit of disuse. So I reached out to a prosthetist in the area to come and do an assessment on him and order new supplies to accommodate the changes in size on his right stump. His new liner is fitting well, so we’re just waiting on his shrinker. My goal now is to strengthen his hip abductor group (glute medius) and hip extensor group (primarily glute maximus), so that when he’s standing with the prosthetic limb he’ll be able to transfer his weight over his leg. This will help effectively initiate the swing phase of gait without excessive unsteadiness or instability.

In the video you’ll see him working on hip abduction with resistance while in a sidelying position. He’s so patient and kind with this process, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds in store for him!🥳🙏🏾🦿

1/3 clinical rotations complete ✅
•
•
•

I can’t believe 12 weeks flew by just like that 🫤. my experience with PT Solutions OP ortho has been a remarkable one to say the very least 🦴🩼. From developing therapeutic alliance with the patients, and seeing them from evaluation to discharge, I’ve truly grown as an individual. It wasn’t always easy, but I was willing to learn from my mistakes and refine my skills. I was surrounded by a talented group of DPT’s who were always there to guide me along the way. But one thing that has made this an even better experience was me telling myself that I would get out what I poured in. I learned so much from my colleagues and the ambiance of the clinic spoke for itself✨

To my CI Dr. Rogers, I just want to thank you so much for always challenging me to be my best and do introspective thinking after applying patient care. You never let any of my questions go unanswered, and you’re truly one of the smartest physical therapists I’ve ever met. I’ll certainly make sure to consider every drop of knowledge you instilled in me to each setting I complete my rotations at. I’ll never forget about exercise prescription, the BPS model, and endogenous opioid release from the periaqueductal grey😂🧠

PT Solutions you owe me nothing✌🏽

hello folks🥰👋🏾 back with an update !
•
•
I know it’s been some time since i’ve posted, but my 2nd year has been flying by before my eyes 😂 my spring semester was condensed because I had clinical rotations for the month of April and luckily enough for me, my soror helped me secure it ❤️i spent this past month working in a private outpatient ortho clinic alongside my CI who was extremely cool to be around 😊🩻🩺🩼 i learned to create plans of care independently, enhance my manual therapy skills, do timely evaluations, and efficiently go through treatment plans with patients. this experience was all so eye opening, and im glad that I got to absorb a lot of information from the PT’s and PTA on a daily basis. I also got to see and be a recipient of dry needling 🪡 (to my lats), which felt amaaazing btw lol. all in all, this experience was confirmation of what is yet to come🙏🏾🙌🏾 & i’m ready to tackle my LAST didactic semester in the next two weeks !

lab time in neuromuscular PT 🧠🦿
•

I know some of y'all are probably thinking "what the heck is she doing?!"😂 but trust me, this machine serves a purpose. So last Wednesday in neuro lab, we decided to end the semester with utilizing various devices that could help assess gait, determine dominant pressure points on the foot, and help with patient handling post-stroke or spinal cord injury (SCI).

For example, this device 'SafeGait 360 Balance and Mobility Trainer ™️' , is an overhead dynamic body weight support and falls protection system that promotes patient confidence and fast recovery, enables safer patient handling, and increases profitability across the continuum of care.

This was my first time actually physically using the device to understand the mechanics of it and seeing how it would be from a patient's point of view, but I've seen SCI patients use it before while shadowing at MedStar in DC. Overall, it was a great experience and if the person controlling the device really wants to play with you, you'll be off the floor and jerking around like me😂😂

hey guys 🤗👋🏾

back with another tiktok 😂 we stan a tiktok queen okayyy?? but anywho, this is a snippet of most of my upper body routine. I like to focus a lot on my back, chest, and arms and it's been helping a lot! I change up my sets, reps, and resistance depending on how I'm feeling and I always make sure to listen to my body. Challenge yourself to go beyond 3x10 if you're doing lighter resistance and reduce the frequency if you're using higher resistance (ex. 3 x 5). But overall start off with what you're comfortable with and just have fun! Enjoy 😉

learning in musculoskeletal spine🦴✨
•
•
Hey pals☺️👋🏾 so last Friday in MSK spine lecture, my cohort was fortunate enough to have Dr. Kevin Pauza come and speak to us about pathologies, injuries, and surgeries that are common in the thoracic-lumbar spine. Dr. Pauza is a well-known American physiatrist and interventional spine specialist that developed a spine procedure called Discseel, which uses a natural, injectable biologic termed fibrin that can aid in treating chronic low back pain and radiculopathy in contrast to patients resorting in spinal fusions.

We learned a great deal of information from him, and were encouraged to continue advocating for our future patients when it comes to their injuries because PT involvement in patient care is critical in order to facilitate movement and optimal recovery! And I mean we are the movement experts and anatomists okay😂👩🏾‍⚕️🤸🏾‍♀️ all in all, this was a great experience.
