💥 Posture correction exercising is not Physical Therapy(附中文)
“Movement is the problem”
-
😶 Often times I get messages in an inquiry to correct their posture, anterior pelvic tilting, or leg length discrepancy, told by their physicians that these are the sources of your pain. Nowadays we get brainwashed by information on the Internet for what BAD posture been demonized for. NO I don’t do corrective exercises only, instead I do physical therapy to correct movement
-
💡 One example is round shoulder. Round shoulder is a faulty posture with misplacement of the scapula that pre-disposes the shoulder joint to impingement issues. And it happens when the shoulder is raised rather than round shoulder being the problem itself. Should round shoulder be corrected even if pain is not present? Or should we take pills even though we are not inflicted by diseases?
-
🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♀️ Corrective exercises is part of physical therapy but not all of it. I trust the professionalism of personal trainers to correct bad posture as preventative medicine. But by no means we as physios are doing the same thing as trainers. Human body is an integrative organism, posture is a static figure. We should focus on correcting movement disorders. Instead of branding a posture correction specialist with a physical therapy background

💥姿勢矯正不是物理治療
“動作才是問題”
-
😶 「請問肩膀歪斜、骨盆高低,醫師說我有長短腳要矯正多久」每次聽到有人跟我說這個我便回答「請問你有疼痛嗎,這會影響你的睡眠、日常生活、工作、運動嗎」物理治療很常會處理跟疼痛相關的問題,像站起來膝蓋會痛,手抬起來卡住不舒服,或手術後的疼痛都可以處理。那沒有疼痛,只是外觀不對稱,肌肉一邊大一邊小,這樣適合做物理治療嗎,或應該問的是,做矯正運動就會好了嗎
-
💡舉一個例子,圓肩。每個病人都會說,「應該是我圓肩的問題吧」圓肩是一個錯誤的姿勢,疼痛的前置因子,動作才是真的問題。很多人有圓肩,肩膀也不會痛;同樣很多人肚子比你大,也不見得會有下背痛,不能把問題歸咎於圓肩。那沒有疼痛,還需要治療嗎,自己可以斟酌。同樣,沒有病痛,要吃藥嗎,一樣的道理
-
🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♀️ 圓肩,或高低肩,姿勢不良透過健身教練教你的矯正運動,把背肌練起來,慢慢會改善。矯正運動並沒有限制誰能做誰不能做,如果評估後是有需要的,物理治療也會做。可是,物理治療師,並不是專門做矯正的專業人士,坊間很多矯正專家,可以先拜訪他們
-
人體是活的,有慣用邊和非慣用邊。姿勢是靜態的,矯正姿勢,會因為固有的肌肉記憶,變回原狀。要改變的,應該是動作的問題以及如何使用你的身體,而不是外觀上的觀感

Why taking the SAT or ACT when you’re not ready is a terrible mistake.
For several years now, I’ve noticed that many of my students who study at international schools tend to take an SAT test just to “test the waters.”
This is such a bad move it’s not funny!
What’s so bad about it?
American admissions officers dislike students who only focus on tests. So, even if you manage to get a high score after you’ve taken the SAT too many times, you might be rejected anyway.
Your SAT score is so important! Please do not waste any opportunity to get a high score!
I read the following quote on Dartmouth’s website:
“We don't recommend excessive testing. Making the most out of your high school opportunities is more important than repeatedly taking standardized tests."
Is it only Dartmouth?
Actually, this kind of statement isn’t unique to Dartmouth - it’s pretty standard. Most of the top universities say exactly the same thing. This causes many people to believe that colleges don’t really care much about your SAT score.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
All you have to do is to look at the average SAT/ACT scores that enrolling students receive. As an example, successful applicants to Dartmouth average around 1500 (out of 1600). That’s pretty high! What do they mean then?
They mean that students need to focus on non-academic pursuits AS WELL AS getting a very high score on their SATs.
So, you definitely need a high SAT score, but you can’t look like you care that much. If you take a test before you’re ready, there will be a record of your lower-than-ideal score. You’ll naturally need to retake the exam a second, third, and, possibly, fourth, time.
Let’s say that you do achieve your ideal score on the fourth or fifth attempt. How will the admissions officer view you when you have exactly the same score as another applicant who only took the test twice or three times? Who will they select?
Naturally, they will not choose you because you look like a testing machine.
In the US, everybody knows that it’s foolish to take the SAT or ACT more than three times. That means that you should NEVER waste an attempt. You should be ready before you ever take the test.
So, what should you do?
First, “test the waters” in a safe environment: your home.
You can do some practice questions on Khan Academy to get a feel for the test. Then, when you feel ready to tackle the whole test, do one of the Official Tests found on Khan or CollegeBoard:
https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests
Make sure you download the test, print it out and do it on paper. If you do it on the computer, you will NOT be simulating the real test.
Presently, there are a total of 9 released tests. CollegeBoard and Khan have released 8, and there is one more floating about on the internet. (As an aside, I actually use this test in my classes. I purposely avoid the other released tests because most schools use them and so do many students. I hate it when students say, “I’ve done that test before!”)
Simply using these tests will give you a good idea of what score you would get if you took the real test. And you can do this without risking being labelled a testing machine.
Also, as there are only 9 official tests out there, don’t waste them. Granted, there are other “official” tests online or in some schools, but these are usually riddled with errors or are incomplete. (I personally hate doing a test and not knowing which questions are faulty before doing it. Most of the time, students spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers to questions that do not even have answers. It can be very frustrating.)
Another thing: of the nine, only 5 of them are previously administered tests. The first four “official tests” were designed before CollegeBoard switched from the old SAT to the new one in 2016. These four tests are quite easy compared to what is being tested now, so are not a great indicator of your future score. They are great for practicing question types - just understand that if you get a really high score on them it doesn’t mean that you will do just as well on test day.
Only tests 5-9 (also easier than the current tests) are the closest thing we have to the current SAT tests. Still, these are easier than the current test, especially in the reading section, so be aware that the reading will most probably be even tougher than what is in all of the officially released tests.

Enjoy your SAT studies!
