I’ve been thinking about this for a while… and it feels equal parts empowering and weird to say out loud:

👉 I’m changing my handle to @drkerrybriscoe.

The internet is loud right now — full of wellness opinions, trendy hacks, mixed messages, and “experts” without clinical training.
It’s confusing.
It’s noisy.
And sometimes it’s downright dangerous.

And honestly? As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I’ve spent years downplaying my title because I never wanted to seem self-important 😅

But here’s the truth:
PTs sell ourselves short. A lot.
We evaluate, diagnose, and treat movement dysfunction.
We help people walk, move, and function again.
We are the musculoskeletal experts — yet we rarely claim it.

So this isn’t about being “fancy” online 😂
It’s about clarity, credibility, and being the bestie you can actually TRUST in a noisy wellness space 🫶🏻

But because I don’t want to be confusing, here’s a breakdown: MD vs. DPT

👩🏻‍⚕️ MD (Medical Doctor): treats disease, prescribes meds, manages illness, may perform surgery.
💪🏻DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy): diagnoses and treats movement dysfunction, uses exercise/manual therapy/biomechanics/Neuro rehab to treat holistically, focuses on pain, mobility, and prevention — without drugs or surgery.

Different lanes. Same mission: better health.

So if you see the new handle pop up — it’s still me.
Same heart.
Same mission.
Same passion for helping women thrive in their bodies 👯‍♀️

Just with a title Im finally ready to stand in 💙✨
