#80. The 8 Most Commonly Taught Topics from a Doctor of Physical Therapy

This episode started as a rapid-fire TikTok I filmed while meal prepping — it's since crossed 265,000 views. So many of you asked me to explain each point instead of rattling them off in under a minute, so here's the full breakdown.Eight things I find myself repeating to patients almost every day: direct access to PT, why your knees should go over your toes in a squat, the real cause of hip pinching, the most misunderstood exercise for low back pain, why "sciatica" is sometimes something else entirely, and why "chest up, butt back" might be doing more harm than good.If even one of these changes how you think about your own body, that's the whole point of this podcast.📲 Follow along: @TheDocDir on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube🌐 TheDocDir.comphysical therapy, direct access physical therapy, knees over toes squat, squat form, hip pinching squat, ankle mobility, low back pain exercises, clamshell exercise, glute tendinopathy, sciatica vs glute pain, squat cues, core bracing, uncoordinated core, Wichita physical therapist
