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.

B, cervical extension. C, right cervical rotation. D. Right cervical rotation and extension. All right. Let's go up to the top of this question and knock it. D. Right cervical rotation and extension. All right. Let's go to the top of this

question and knock it down. We got Rosie presents with a right cervical facet dysfunction. Let's stop

there for a moment. To be ready for the MPTE, we really got to understand our spine and our

biomechanics really well. I cannot stress this to you

enough. Please learn about the spine. Please learn how it moves because this is just a hot target for exams.

Okay. So it says here that the patient presents with right. So we're already on the right side.

Cervical facet dysfunction.

Well, we know that in the cervical spine or really any part of the spine, right?
