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 week's clinical file, we have Kayla, and Kayla is a physical therapist who is evaluating a patient with shoulder

pain via telehealth. The patient is unable to accurately palpate the area of maximal tenderness. What alternative method should the therapist

use to localize the pain? So we have A, guide the patient through a series of active range

of motion exercises to identify the painful location. B, instruct the patient to use a foam roller to identify the

tender area. C, ask the patient to describe the quality of pain in different shoulder positions.

And D is postpone the assessment until an in-person visit can be arranged.

All right.

Let's go up to the top of this one.

As you all see, this is telehealth, my friends.
