@kmac9265 so happy to hear it was helpful! It's a bit of a funky concept, but once you get it then the application of it comes pretty easy :) best of luck with your studies and thanks for checking out the channel!

@AshR575 as far as I know there are no limits, but I wouldn't recommend working many more than 40 when caring for patients, burnout is a very real problem in the profession!

​@@aphysionamedjonahthanks for your answer

Hey there! Pilates is definitely not my area of expertise but I'll give it a go :) A closed Kinetic chain mat exercise that comes to mind would be a glute bridge, whereas an open Kinetic Chain mat exercise could be the deadbug core exercise. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the videos and they're helpful :) appreciate you checking out my channel!

Wow, thank you so much! I appreciate feedback like this more than you know. I've been struggling with what to target my channel towards in the PT world and comments like this help a lot. As I get back to making videos (once I learn how to time manage better as a parent....haha) I'm going to focus more on specific movement and body region educational videos. Thank you for your support and the kind words!

Why thank you :) appreciate you stopping by the channel!

You are very welcome!

Yeah.........yeah. Stories like this make me so sad to hear. All too common as clinics can prioritize patient volume and income over patient care quality and clinician wellbeing. Thanks for sharing, I'm hoping to hear that this is happening less commonly in the future, and help move towards a better care model for PT!

@@aphysionamedjonah I appreciate you making this video and highlighting some of the things that we deal with in the field.

Thanks for sharing your experience! The heat limit is a hard cap on temperature so I can appreciate that limit may be lower than you would prefer. I would recommend reaching out to HYDRAGUN if you have any specific feedback or concerns to share!

Good point! The pec minor can definitely be a part if scapular depression. I often clinically implicate it more with rotation, but it has a role in both! The logistical reason I didn’t (to be very honest) was to keep all the muscles I included for scapular depression on the posterior aspect of the body. I felt it was easier to understand visually/conceptually that way. Thanks for checking out the channel!

You are very welcome!

There are no BScPT programs in Canada anymore, so getting canadian licensing without a canadian degree involves going through the internationally trained application program!

Somebody noticed! One of my favourite shows, and 2 of my favourite characters of all time :)

1. I went back and looked at that year, there were about $25000 in deductions from tax and employee contributions 2. Not sure which benefits you mean, but any structure of pay would likely be the same regardless of training location

@@aphysionamedjonah benefits in the sense that , are foreign students getting same salary and facilities as the regular students ?

@ompatel1320 ahhh ok thanks for clarifying! So as an international student at a Canadian school, the same benefits and opportunities are provided. Once you attend a Canadian school, you're essentially treated as a Canadian student. Now if your PT schooling is from outside Canada, you will be unable to practice in Canada until passing through the Canadian licensing process. I get asked about this process a lot, so might be time to make a video on it once I figure out how to balance time as a parent more! Now, once licensed as a Canadian PT, all job opportunities are MEANT to be equal. I saw meant because unconscious bias and prejudice still exists, so will it always be that way in practice....sadly probably not. Hope this helps!

@@aphysionamedjonah I have got to know that there is one exam PCE to clarify , for the licensing purposes. But don’t know the other procedure . If you can get to know please make a video on it. If possible . 😊

@ompatel1320 will do! In the meantime you can find more info here: alliancept.org/internationally-trained/ Not the easiest read but everything you need to know should be there!

Hello again! Glad you enjoyed :)

Why thank you :) I really enjoy teaching concepts, glad my style resonates with you!

Very glad to hear that!

Hey these are interesting questions. If I understand properly (please let me know if I’m missing it though) the lateral spread comes from the protraction motion when you roll your shoulders forward. That would be coming from Serratus Ant and Pec Minor predominantly. Teres Maj and Lats don’t actually move the scapula at all. Does that help answer your questions?

Thanks for your answer. The scapulae do seem to protract in this movement exactly as you describe, but this raises a couple further questions. Re my original first question, scapular protraction seems to push the latissimus and teres major muscles out laterally, but do the lower parts of the scapulae also rotate outward in this movement? It seems like the visible width of the lat spread is due entirely to scapular motion pushing those muscles out laterally, not due to any contraction of the latissimus or teres muscles themselves; is this correct? Re my original second question, in weight training circles the common assumption seems to be that the visible width of the lat spread is due almost entirely to development of the latissimus dorsi alone, but when I look at anatomical illustrations, it seems like the teres major might contribute more to the visible width of the upper part of the spread. Is this right, or does the teres major contribute little to the appearance of the spread?

My pleasure :)

You are most welcome!

Glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the channel :)

Ahhhh a good question. There’s a few things at work here. I think important to remember in discussions like this is that salary is not dictated by years of school. There's a bit of a feeling in healthcare that it is because highly specialized providers often earn higher salaries, but this isn't always the case. Healthcare is a business at the end of the day (unfortunately). Salaries and the flow of money are determined by the value of service of goods provided (cost per visit or items sold), and the volume of how much is provided (# of patients). The main reason PTs earn less salary is our services are less valued (visits are cheaper either privately or allocated by hospital). Now, why this is the case could be quite a long discussion, so let's leave that for today. To try and combat this many PT clinics turn to increasing patient volume (more visits per day) but this generally leads to poorer quality care and higher rates of clinician burnout. All in all, PTs make lower salaries because their services earn less money when compared to other professionals. It's unfortunate and disappointing when you consider it takes 6 years of expensive schooling to get into the profession, but such is the state of affairs today.

Great question! The challenge there to me comes down to as you said, consistency. If either of those options is more motivating to you that's probably thr better option. If you feel confident with exercise technique then the AI generated workouts could be helpful in either setting, but they won't give you a lot of guidance or info on how to do the exercise, or how it's meant to feel.

True I didn't have any women in the video! The same PT outfit archetypes exist for women, but seeing as this was just me there weren't any shown.

Thanks a lot Zach! Great to hear from you and glad the video was useful :)

Depends on the school, but generally both! They'll look at your GPA of the courses you took heading into school, and then factor in your cGPA of entire undergrad to a lesser extent. Best way to know for sure is to look up the specific criterion for each school you apply to because they all vary a bit. Thanks for the question!

I know, that one's a bit confusing right! Normally we're using the ground, wall, or a bench to close the circuit, and in the case of a chin up things are a bit different to picture. A chin up would be a closed kinetic chain exercise though, as the bar itself is fixed and not moving. The body is "free" to move, but this is also the case in closed kinetic chain movements like a pushup (picture a chin-up like a pushup on a bar). Hope this is helpful!

Yes, I have an MScPT degree that I got from the University of Toronto! That's a Master's of Science clinically focused on Physical Therapy.

I'm so glad to hear that!! Thank you for swinging by my KZbin channel :)

Why thank you :) appreciate you checking out the channel!

Alright let's answer some questions! 1. No PT schools aren't picky about where your undergrad comes from. What they care about in the admissions process is if you have the pre-requisites, what your GPA is, and what kind of experience/background you have in the PT world. 2. Hopefully this video gave you a good idea of what salary to expect in Canada! PT vs. Chiro can be pretty similar in an outpatient setting, so not sure if salary is the best way to determine which is better for you. I'd probably think more about which profession/style of thinking you resonate with more since the money is quite similar. 3. PT school is quite difficult to get into. Their main focus is GPA, period. After GPA has been considered then they do look at volunteer works and standardized testing (CASPER), but the main differentiator (for better or for worse) is absolutely GPA. 4. While you can become a PT with just about any degree while taking the pre-requisities in sciences/anatomy, I do tend to think that kinesiology/human kinetics is a really good background in human movement and sciences. Specifically a HK/kin degree that has a science focus, I took the BScHK (bachelor of sciences with specialization in human kinetics) degree at uOttawa. Thanks for the questions and hope this was helpful!

@@aphysionamedjonah thank you so much. I appreciate your time and effort for answering this long questions. I got my answer for lot of my questions for now. After I got to the program I may have more questions; I appreciate if you can help me in the future as well. Subscribed

Thanks for the question! It would actually be more likely to go from tendonitis to tendinosis if left unchecked, as tendonitis is generally thought of as the more short term inflammation with tendinosis being more related to long term changes. You nailed it though, if you don't allow the tissue to heal the issue won't go away! This doesn't mean you can't do any activity, you just need to be keeping the activity below a level of further irritation. This is where working with a therapist can help find that line of what you can/can't do during the healing phase of a tissue!

Sorry to hear that Sara! I hope this video helped you understand a bit more about what could be going on with that tendon, and I hope you've been getting medical attention to help work through it!

"working in our own world while working side by side" is a quote that really resonates with me. A huge downfall of this profession is the reliance on high volumes of patients in an outpatient setting because of the funding model that breeds a whole host of problems, with burnout and intra-clinic isolation like this being a part of it. What a shift going from PT to farming! How was the transition away? How's it been going since coming back?? I'm really interested to get your perspective as someone who stepped away and is now re-engaging with the profession! I hope that in the future we can work towards a less competitive environment because if we're being honest, there are more than enough people who have NO IDEA what PT is to support all the clinicians out there if we do better as a whole. We really don't need to compete with one another if the profession at large does a better job of proving its value, but we just aren't quite there yet in my opinion.

@@aphysionamedjonahthe transition from physical therapy to farming was easy for me because I've been a passionate gardener my entire life. It felt natural and was what I needed at the time. The transition back into physical therapy is the hard part. You don't realize how much knowledge and flow you lose while being away. I wish there was a business for reintegrating health care professionals like PTs. I would love to go to a clinic and shadow/retrain under a clinical expert and/or have physical therapists to utilize for clinical questions/ ideas without judgment. I would even treat pro-bono and retake classes. That would mean the world to me. Burnout is a compounding problem. I realized that burning out just once can actually prevent someone from ever returning to the profession. A gap in the resume and a lack of references within a 2 year span can kill the likelihood of returning. Most places wont acknowledge you. The license becomes almost meaningless. Luckily I was able to find a job in homecare where I have the opportunity to slowly build my caseload, but it's tough learning on my own. It feels like I'm treating with imposter syndrome.

I may disappear....but I always come back 💪

Thanks for checking out the video! I would be interested in doing more responses to questions, I've done a few in my time as a KZbinr and enjoy the format! PTs in Canada cannot use Dr. before their name as the program is a master's program and not a doctorate as it is in other countries. The exception would be if you receive a PhD, but this is not the case for most clinical Physiotherapists.

Why thank you! Appreciate you checking out the channel :)

Well you made it here and for that I'm thankful :) glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for joining! I'm a bit sporadic with my uploads but do strive to be a good subscribe, so stay tuned for more like this!

Well that was very kind, I'm flattered! Thank you for that lovely comment :)

You are so welcome! Glad it could make things more understandable!

You aren't wrong at all for the average individual really diving deep into different types of muscle training isn't necessary for their training. My hope with this video is more that it can help people understand the different types of contraction for their own knowledge or academic pursuits, with its role in targeted training being more understanding vs. prescriptive. Diversifying exercises is always a great option!

Great point! The training montage wasn't exactly ideal was it haha could have used a lot more variation to show how athletes at that level actually train.
