On this episode we brew a fresh cup of coffee with Wesley Wang! Wesley is a physical therapist at Healthy Baller in Rockville Maryland where he spends a large amount of his time treating athletes. We first met Wesley on instagram and really found is content about ACL rehab helpful. So we figured it would only be appropriate to dive a little bit deeper into this topic.

We covered how Wesley got into PT, (its not your typical story) what lead him to specializing in ACL rehab, why it's important for athletes to seek out the right PT, and of course COFFEE!

On this episode Dalton and Will sit down over a cup of coffee and discuss why they have found social media so valuable as PT Students. We recorded this podcast on the way to Toronto to connect with people who we met over...you guessed it...social media.

We talked about 3 areas that we really felt social media helped us as PT Students. This doesn't mean that you have to go out and start your own account. But, we wanted to share why we think the profession should leverage these platforms more and how they can add value.

On this episode of the PTCOFFEECAST we do our first ever quadcast! We welcomed Taylor Eckel and Teddy Willsey to the show to talk about clinical placements. Taylor had the opportunity to do one of her rotations with Teddy at Healthy Baller and we thought it would be great to get their thoughts on what makes a successful clinical placement from both a student and instructor perspective.

We touch on what students should look for in a clinical placement, the importance of patient education, and how you can get the most out of your placement even when its not in the setting you love.

We found the information he was sharing very helpful so we decided we needed to have a cup of coffee with him and dig a little deeper.

We cover a wide variety of topics such as the Ball brothers, the use of social media, how to prioritize what you find in your initial assessment, pain science education, and much more.

During this episode, Will discusses a common challenging situation that occurs during clinical placements. Disagreeing with your clinical instructor (CI) presents a unique dilemma because you are a young clinician who is eager to learn and become effective at helping others. Will has had this experience himself, and is sharing some of the strategies he used to maximize his experience.

None of these strategies are intended to be perfect. However, we feel there are ways to learn from all experiences, and we have to power in ourselves to make sure that we do. We’ve been discussing what makes a good CI during our consolidation period at school, but we can’t control this as students. What you can control is your attitude, and your tenacity to learn as much as you can!

As always, please get in touch with us! Let us know if these strategies are helpful for you preparing for placements, going through one right now, or helping a friend. We’d also love to know what you’ve done to maximize your learning in this situation. If you’re a CI, let us know what you’ve learned to improve as an instructor! Or if you’re going to be one in the future, get in touch with us and we can talk about some of the characteristics our classmates felt we important for being an effective CI.

On this episode we sat down with Adam Meakins, a Physical Therapist from the UK. Adam has a great deal of experience in the world of physiotherapy and strength & conditioning. He also runs a blog called ‘the sports physio’ where he writes his thoughts about various topics in the profession. He has a luscious salt and pepper beard, and his opinions often make people salty as well. Many people know Adam as the guy that hates manual therapy (which isn’t wrong), but if you actually consume his content with an open mind you will realize that his approach is person focused, and his goal is to help our profession realize the value we have in the healthcare system

As we sipped our coffee (and beer,) we talked about a ‘simplified’ approach to treatment, creating a therapeutic alliance, the importance of reading your f*#^*g research, and much more!

We had an awesome time talking to Adam and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. You can give this episode a listen on iTunes, Play Music, and anchor.
