  • Is It Silly To Get Help With Something You Think You Should Do On Your Own?
    NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥
    🎤Topic - Is it silly to get help with something you think you should do on your own?
    In the physical therapy world, many of us get stuck thinking we have to seem like we know all things when around other physical therapists.
    If you already have a background and dance, this means you should not get help with treating dancers then?
    It sounds so silly even when I write that question.
    We know we constantly need to be learning.
    Even as a dancer, especially as a ballet dancer, which is the dance form I grew up doing, you are never the expert at that. In ballet, we’re trying to perfect this dance form that is impossible to perfect. That’s why it never gets boring. We are used to never being the expert.
    I think that’s the same in any field. There is always something to learn that will make us better at what we do.

  • Having A Sleep Routine
    NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥
    🎤Topic - Having a sleep routine
    Getting a good night's sleep is so valuable.
    As you heard my last podcast episode, I really care about energy for the PT/PTA clinician.
    After reading several books and working with Dance PT friends who have the same interest, I found a sleep routine that really works for me that I’m excited to share with you.
    When I first thought of creating a sleep routine, it honestly annoyed me because I didn’t want my life to become more regimented.
    I’m a person who likes to feel free and not tied down.
    However, this sleep routine I’ve been doing has really worked for me And I find myself shockingly unsatisfied if I don’t do it.
    I am definitely not a sleep expert, but I am a person who likes what I’m doing for my sleep.
    If anything in my sleep routine is something you want to try, go for it knowing that you may likely sleep a lot better when you try it.

  • How To Help With Energy
    NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥
    🎤Topic - How to help with energy
    I can talk about energy all the time.
    As people who treat Dancers, Energy is very important for them.
    When they were younger and then the adolescent portion of their life, energy came by more easily for them.
    But as they age into their professional years in dance, energy does get harder to come by over time.
    This negatively affects the healing process and motivation in physical therapy rehabilitation.
    Dancers in many cases are going to be more motivated to do the work, but if energy is hard to come by, it decreases the likelihood that they’ll keep up with the work they need to do.
    Tune in to get some of the ideas on how to help with energy.

  • Getting Outside
    NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥
    🎤Topic - Getting outside
    Nature is very healing and I want to talk about it.
    Many physical therapists and physical therapist assistants deal with stress and anxiety, and getting out so I can be a great and affordable solution.
    How often are you in nature?
    How often do you go on a walk outside?
    These are questions you really do need to ask yourself and make changes accordingly for your mental health.
    The better your mental health, the better you are able to treat your dancer patients.
