I was featured on today’s @LongCovidPhysio podcast! I talk about what it’s like working in the pandemic with #LongCovid and how that is basically like being a 2-year old iPhone! Thanks for having me on, @darrenabrown

This is the direct impact of #LongCOVIDPhysio
Our Chair @sunsopeningband answering clinical questions at ICD-10 Coordination & Maintenance Committee meeting re: proposal for an ICD-10-CM code for post-exertional malaise (#PEM)/post-exertional symptom exacerbation (#PESE)
We will be presenting a proposal for an ICD-10-CM code for post-exertional malaise (PEM)/post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) at the September 13 ICD-10 Coordination & Maintenance Committee meeting, with clinical questions being answered by the amazing @sunsopeningband!
I volunteered with @SpecialOlympics of Michigan for State Summer Games and coincidentally worked along side a pediatric PT. @SpOlympicsMI
An adult PT at my clinic told me she was moved to tears watching me treat a baby the other day, and that’s just the sweetest thing to say.
Even though I won’t be on the executive board going forward, I am so excited to see the continued progress of @LongCOVIDPhysio! This is a great group to be steering the ship!
We are excited to announce our new team starting July 2023, including the executive board and committees.
#LongCOVID
(note: board liaison roles will be announced in July)

I got a late start to #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth so I'll try and make up for it with some regular posts the rest of the month on various topics based on research but also lived experience. Just raw numbers/stats can often numb people to how these things play out in real life.
One of the most important @LongCOVIDPhysio videos to date. This is a must watch for any rehab clinician working with #LongCovid and #MECFS

We are looking for new executive board members! Check out this thread for more info. Please reach out if you are interested or have questions!

Today, on #LongCovidAwarenessDay, I ask that rehab clinicians around the world familiarize themselves with Post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PEM/PESE), learn screening techniques, & recognize the limitations (read: harm) in exercise as a treatment for those who have PEM/PESE.
Today is the first #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay to raise visibility and awareness of the global scale of #LongCOVID affecting more than 65 million people around the world, as well as their families and society. Today we join our community in solidarity 🖤💚🤍

Excuse me, @Illuminateed, can you please just add a paragraph break option to your IEP program? My PLAAFP sections are looking ROUGH! 🙏🏼 🥺
Hey #PTtwitter, how do you work jobs like these? It’s something I’d love to do, but the labs are in the middle of a workday. How do you fit in adjunct positions like this when you work full time?
Open faculty position for a #pedipt pro! Please follow link if interested. We’d love to meet you! careers.umich.edu/job_detail…

Hi @ManvBrain. Thanks for an interesting article in @NYMag. What a great premise; to suggest #LongCovid is a condition that rhymes with #MECFS. We totally agree on that. Not everyone with #LongCovid has #MECFS of course, but enough do that the analogy has some intellectual merit.

Exercise should never come at the expense of ADLs, pleasure, socialization etc in cases of #LongCovid with PESE
If a patient with #LongCovid tells me that PT is going well, but then they are more fatigued for all other activities…
👏🏽then👏🏽it’s👏🏽time👏🏽to👏🏽stop👏🏽.
All involved in the team need to screen for post-exertion symptom exacerbation / #PEM.
Need to go back to #StopRestPace
