  • Advocating For Body Inclusivity
    NEW Dance PT Podcast Episode!!! 💃🏾 🩰🕺🏻
    Title: Advocating for body inclusivity
    In the Dance World, body inclusivity is a very important thing.
    In the past, only skinny people were welcome to the table in regards to professional dance.
    This is a huge problem and does not work for the dance community at large.
    My brother-in-law, Eric Cavanaugh, is a major leader in the movement #dancerscomeinallsizes.
    Make sure you have some discussion in regards to all body sizes being beautiful and talented at your clinic.

  • 10 Reasons You Are Proud Of Yourself
    NEW Dance PT Podcast Episode!!! 💃🏾 🩰🕺🏻
    Title: 10 reasons you are proud of yourself

  • Podcast Re - Introduction
    NEW Dance PT Podcast Episode!!! 💃🏾 🩰🕺🏻
    Title: Podcast Re-Introduction
    Yep, that's right!
    It's time for a reintroduction because the podcast is going to change this year.
    There's going to be a significant decrease in lengthy interviews in an increase in 5 minute episodes to keep you motivated to pursue your career in dance Physical Therapy.
    The biggest thing I learned last year was that physical therapists do not have time.
    It can either be from school, work schedule, raising a family, and many other things.
    These five-minute episodes are purposeful, so the time commitment is less and you are able to keep up.
    I'm putting the listener (you) first and making sure you get the information I think may help you.

  • Carmen Wurtz- Journey To Treat Dancers Without A Dance Background
    Time and time again, I have been approached by student and professional PTs who don't think they can treat dancers because they never were one themself.
    .
    You don't need to be a dancer to treat dancers!
    .
    We don't ask surgeons to have backgrounds as dancers, so why would we ask that of ourselves, the PT community?
    .
    That only limits the number of people who can help dancers and there are so many who need access to PTs who understand them.
    .
    How is this possible?
    .
    Listen to today's discussion with the great Carmen Turcott Wurtz to hear how she did it.
