Dr. Steven Kinney (e-mail, Twitter, Instagram) of Indiana University Health is interviewed by Stephen M. Shaffer regarding a presentation he gave at the 2020 AAOMPT Conference titled, “A Breath of Fresh Air: Manual Therapy for Dyspnea.” This episode contains information that will be interesting for practitioners who want to explore the interface between orthopaedic manual physical therapy and dyspnea. Additionally, use these links to find several studies that Dr. Kinney referred to during the interview: Bishop et al 2019 (patient expectations when treating the cervical spine), Herridge et al 2003 (49% of people do not return to work post-acute respiratory distress), and Ichiba et al 2018 (reference to chest wall compressions).
