To make a long story short, we found out we were expecting our first baby a few months before I started in January. I did research and found that University of St. Augustine accepts transfer credits, which would be amazing since my in laws live in Daytona. Our main concern right now is being around family (for obvious...

Hello!
I am not a physical therapist, but one of my close friends just graduated PT school and I wanted to get her embroidered scrubs as a gift.

Hi all,
I've been an aide for two DPTs. The first didn't perform nerve glides at all for patients with sciatica, citing that he found it often made the patient worse.
