Episode 44 of the Fresh PT Podcast features Matt talking about trends he's noticed as a new grad and how he can get better as a clinician.

Great clinicians are always communicating with their patients, but sometimes no matter how clear your instructions are, patients can go rogue! You need to have that running clock in your head alerting you to check on your patients. 

Your patient is doing great and you decide to ramp up the intensity of their session to meet their new level, but they come back the next time worse! Did you jump the gun too soon? It can be hard just taking one step forward and not ten. 

Afraid to touch your MVA's in their neck and back? Listen to what Matt has to say on these subjects so you'll be better prepared.

Thank you for listening and...Stay Fresh

Kristen gives fantastic advice for young PTs everywhere. She shares her experience as a new grad only 1 month into her career as a clinician in the acute care setting, which allows her 3 off days during the week to work on her softball and consulting businesses.

"I can only help so many patients on my own, but I can help more people by helping other physical therapists."

David talks about what it's like starting and growing his business, as well as resources that have helped him along the way. We all need to get over this fear of what our peers may think of us when putting out content.
