TLDR: Can I become a PT while still doing a statistics degree? I would like to know about how the process and routes look, both for Canada, America or wherever you are. I am studying Stats but am morbidly curious to make a swap without spending 10 years studying, considering I am totally able to learn things fast if I need to. Would love a fast track or even non-university route, I can definitely deal with it if it exists. Context: I am studying Statistics in Toronto as a first year. I have been dealing with my knees and doing my physio since I was 13 or 14. I have had a long journey, which I ..read more

Hi all I'm currently working two roles my own practice which I'm building up and my full time private role at a local hospital.

Hi everyone I am a new grad and will see a patient who has had a pec repair There is no specific protocol and the consultant only advised to avoid heavy lifting for 3 months I guess that as for every other tendon repair initially it is important to protect the surgical repair, manage swelling / pain etc. How would you address initial rehab? AROM into ER, flexion and abduction to gradually increase the range of motion? TIA submitted by /u/Local_Following_7478 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all, if anyone knows of good resources with lifting techniques (specifically for arms and wrists, please let me know. Im a warehouse pick packer and do a lot of heavy lifting. I wear wrist straps to prevent wrist pain, because they're a bit weak for the weight Im moving, but since work has upped my hours they havent helped much. The crates I move have horizontal handles, so when held in front of me, my wrists are bent, which doesnt seem right. submitted by /u/nonmathsexpert [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi Everyone, I have the dilemma of deciding whether I go to UofA or UofS to get a masters in physiotherapy. I have heard great things of each program. Curriculum and costs are so close that it is difficult to differentiate between the two. I am not from Edmonton nor Saskatoon, I am more familiar with Edmonton itself but I am open to moving wherever. One thing that I am considering is that it would be cheaper to live in Saskatoon, but this is not a deal breaker on which program I choose. I'm hoping anyone familiar with either program can give some insights? What did you like/dislike? How are t ..read more
