I used my acute care PT experience to get OOB, walk 2 shower, deal w mvmt pain, etc post csection. No instructions or guidance from hosp staff. It’s unacceptable that pts don’t receive this care routinely. This is not a specialty practice area- these are BASIC clinical skills.
Providing occupational and physical therapy in the hospital after any unexpected surgery or trauma is standard of care.
Cesarean section is no different. Ethical-based practice is evidence-based.

As someone who dealt with this 15 years ago as a PT student, it’s not getting any better. We (students of color) rolled our eyes and and brushed it off back then but it’s gotten old quickly. Frankly, I don’t care if you “didn’t know” or “didn’t mean it that way”. Do better.
The entire PT community - not just a dedicated few - need to have authentic conversations about dismantling the systems that uphold racism, gendered misogyny, and other types of oppression in clinical education. I'm tired of seeing my students in tears.View quoted post on X
