PT Pintcast - Physical Therapy

We talked to Josh Funk and PT from Rehab2Perform about community and how he builds it in and around his clinic.

We talked with Brad Cooper who's been writing for the APTA for years now about a recent publication in APTA's Perspectives Magazine.

He gave 10 book titles that helped to shape his career and gave insight for each on what they brought to him.

Brad's Bio:

Brad is a nationally-recognized thought leader in the health and wellness industry.  He is the author of four books, a Licensed Physical Therapist, Certified Athletic Trainer and highly sought-after speaker.

Brad has been a lifelong student of, and catalyst for, optimal human performance. In his 20’s, he earned a Masters in Physical Therapy, which he used to treat patients across the spectrum of orthopedic/neurological diagnoses. 

Then, in his 30’s, he earned an MBA, wrote three books, moved into a vice president of operations role and worked to expand upon his clinical leadership knowledge/understanding (while continuing to treat patients). 

When Brad hit his 40’s, he became CEO of US Corporate Wellness, Co-founder of Catalyst Coaching Institute, wrote a fourth book and was generously identified by several publications as “The World’s Fittest CEO.” 

Now in his 50’s, he continues his CEO role while simultaneously pursuing a PhD with research focusing on mental toughness and how it can be applied in the real world. Along the way, he’s fallen deeper in love with his bride of 27 years, treasured being a dad to three incredible kids, secured two US Patents, completed 11 Ironmans (4 times at Kona), won the Race Across America, been featured in a film shown nationwide and spoken professionally in all 50 states to a wide range of organizations.

We get to the bottom of what clinical informatics and health informatics is and why Physical Therapist Stephanie Glick decided to shift her focus to where there as a Non-Clinical PT!

This throw back episode was recorded at the 10 year anniversary of the Graham Sessions - a small conference hosted by the APTA's Private Practice Section.

The setting is a small group (about 150 attendees) where there is only ONE rule. What's said there can leave, but you can't attribute any comment, quote or idea to a person.

The goal being that people can say what they want, without a filter and get ideas into the profession to start to change it from the inside.

It was recorded live in San Diego with Co-Host Karen Litzy of the Healthy, Wealthy, & Smart podcast

Listen to how this event got started from the founders of this super secret, possibly difficult to find, and definitely hard to explain Sessions for the 10th anniversary. We talk where we've been, where PT is headed, and the rules of Fight Club.

PT Pintcast proudly poured by Aureus Medical. Travel & direct hire opportunities nationwide.

We were invited to the 4th annual Brooks IHL Scholarly Symposium in Jacksonville and got a chance to speak to Jackie Osborne who is part of their Geriatric Residency. We covered residency education, Ageism and a passion for documentation?!

We went LIVE! @ CSM with three friends of the show in a chance for them to present while @ CSM, but do it without the filter that many presentations have to pass through.

A TBT episode w 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.

Jimmy McKay was asked by the APTA's Student Assembly to talk about personal branding, but it wound up being a conversation about the basics of communications. Sending and receiving messages IS personal branding. Q&A from PT & PTA students with some good insights (since Jimmy was having an IPA during this chat).

We talk with Eric & Elliot Greenburg (no relation) about ACL injury & repeat injury in youth athletes.

Topics hit:

High rates of ACL injury and repeat injury among youth/adolescent athletes.

Recent publications of ours that identifying variability of rehabilitation methods in determination of progression of activity following ACL reconstruction among physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons

Controversy regarding what criteria "should" be used to help determine rehab progression, including return to sports among this population. Translating evidence into practice, which is not occurring according to our survey results.

How can we optimize rehabilitation in a world of managed care, escalating copays and high deductible insurance plans.

We were thrilled to talk with USA Wheelchair Rugby Paralympian Chuck Aoki about the games, what being a Paralympian means to him, some insights of the game of Wheelchair Rugby and where the game and the Paralympics are headed
