Under TBC 3.0 symptom modulation, sub-classification, we have active rest, traction, specific exercise, and OMPT & exercise. Can anyone clarify that it changed from rarely used in a specific population to no longer recommended to be used due to conflicting evidence as of the 2021 CPG update? Or do we still use it in the rare cases defined? I no longer use it in practice, but wondering specifically for the exam.

It's been a week since our last OCS Prep Course. People always ask "how many hours a week should I study?". Simple - 42 hours/week. Take two hours over the weekend to review your upcoming schedule and prepare for the body regions you will be seeing. Print out cheat sheets, etc. Then, study during your 40 hours of patient care by following the best evidence while you eval and treat. This will convert short term memories into long term memories and the exam will be much less of a challenge. Eric
