I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn. And you'll see the life

I have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to

change lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place.

Enjoy the show.

For this NPTE clinical file,

we have Bruno, and Bruno is a physical therapist providing an educational workshop on lower back pain prevention. Which of the following physical activities has the most potential to exert

the greatest pressure on the L3 vertebral disc. So we have A, coughing or straining,

B, small repetitive jumps. C, lifting a 20 kilogram weight with the back straight and knees bent.

D, lifting a 20 kilogram weight with the back bent and knees straight. All right. So let's go

to the top of this question. I pulled out an educational workshop based question. You want to know why?

Because this is a hot target that I've seen come up on multiple practice exams. This easily could

show up or this type of question could show up

on your MBTE, and I want us to be prepared for it. Now, these questions tend to be a little bit more

difficult because you really have to know that information that comes straight out the textbook.

You know, the information that we should be talking to our patients about or providing as information in an educational workshop.

And so let's go ahead and break down this question.
