PT Pintcast - Physical Therapy

We talked to Mary Elizabeth Parker about the role of Genomics and Physical Therapy while at the NEXT conference in 2018 in Orlando.

The PT Licensure Compact is an agreement between states to recognize physical therapy licenses in other states involved in the compact.  The agreement has been growing for since 2012 and we check in with Louis Teal of Aureus Medical Staffing to see where the compact stands currently.

Thanks to the faculty, staff & students @ MGH Institute of Health Professions for having us host a discussion on interprofessional collaboration.

 

Aureus Medical Staffing offered a $1,000 scholarship to a current Physical Therapy or Physical Therapist Assistant to attend the 2018 NEXT conference in Orlando.  Micahel Cromartie, a student at the University of Miami DPT program was the winner this year.

He received two entries into the conference from the American Physical Therapy Association. A $1,000 Visa Gift Card for travel, hotel and food expenses from Aureus.

He was also included in classes from RockTape and Owens Recovery Science.

Meg Lowry, creator of Clock Yourself, attained her Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2007 from the University of QLD, and her Master of Health Services Management from Griffith University in 2015.

She has worked at Ipswich General Hospital, RBWH, Mater Mothers Hospital, Redlands Public Hospital and Metro South Aged Care Assessment Team.

She has a breadth of experience in the sub-disciplines of acute cardiology, respiratory, gerontology, women’s health, outpatient and post-acute rehabilitation.

The Clock Yourself methodology was designed by Brisbane physiotherapist Meg Lowry of Next Step Physio.

Meg’s career goal is to tackle the undesirable conditions that we commonly associate with aging; dementia, falls, osteoporosis (and associated fractures), incontinence and prolapse.

Clock Yourself is Meg’s flagship software application, and it represents her professional contribution to both the Dementia Prevention and Falls Prevention domains. Meg is excited to present this methodology to the research community with the hope it will be independently investigated.

Meg has also produced Balance Yourself, and is now working on other novel clinical innovations that may change our course of aging.
