Last time I posted this reel it got 100K views and a ton of hate.😅
Comment section came for my throat.
"You're just an ATC...go hold some water bottles."
"Doctors know more about rehab than you."
"You're just jealous you're not a doctor."
"Doctors have to know everything about rehab..."
So let's run it back, but this time let me make something
CRYSTAL CLEAR...
Here's what this video is NOT saying...
Im not saying Physicians aren't smart, helpful, or a vital part of a healthcare team.
I'm not saying that I don't collaborate with physicians EVERY DAY.
Im not saying you shouldn't listen to your doctor or your surgeon.
Here's what I AM SAYING...
Medical school doesn't train physicians in rehabilitation.
It doesn't train them in progressive loading or exercise science.
It doesn't train them in hands on therapy techniques.
It doesn't train them in movement assessment or applied biomechanics.
It doesn't train them in return-to-sport progressions, testing criteria or athlete readiness.
None of this is an an insult.
It's reality.
When patients leave a surgeons office with photocopied rehab advice based on a title instead of experience from actually rehabbing athletes...
that's called the HALO EFFECT.
And it's hurts people every single day.
To my PM&R colleagues already typing...
yes, YOU are the exception.
You know this. We know this. This isn't about you.
This is about the athlete told to "just rest" chronic tendon pain that only makes it worse.
Or, is given a script for NSAIDS with NO REAL PREPARATION PLAN.
Or, "cleared" after a 10 second visit and kicking into Doc's hand as a "strength test"
Or, The parent told surgery was the only option without a real go at rehab or strength and conditioning.
Or, The person who trusted the title, and then didn't get the outcome they deserved.
Comment section is open.
Let's hear it.
Bring your hate on my credential...
Sure, im only an ATC...
But ive been getting results for athletes for over 2 decades.
So, You can keep your titles, and your insecurity...
I'll just keep stacking receipts.
