In this episode, we got to speak with DPT Steph (@dpt.steph on Instragram). She talked about her journey switching from outpatient orthopedics to the acute care setting. She talked about the vast skillset acute care physical therapists have and how they do more than just "walk patients". She discusses her methods of practicing, such as blocked practice for walking, or using her expertise as a movement therapist to see where a patient can improve, like a sit to stand. She debunks other myths, such as how early mobility in the hospital or emergency department, is contraindicated, and doing higher intensity exercises with patient on hemodialysis. We also discuss communication with patients in the hospital and our unique advantage as physical therapists. She also discusses her methods of creating PT related content. Lastly, she discussed how she navigated the harder times during physical therapy school.
