Happy New Year!

We're starting 2021 with a bang - a fantastic interview & VIDEO(!) with Naomi Aaronson, who incorporates Pilates into her oncology OT practice.

Pilates is a whole body approach that emphasizes stability, which is a problem for many cancer survivors. Naomi takes us through what Pilates is, how she's using it for her patients, & how we can too.

Watch the video of our interview & movement exploration with pre-Pilates here.

We have finally arrived at the end of 2020. Good grief. While this is definitely not how I pictured spending this year, thank God we've made it here.

It only seems fitting to send this year off with a bang, so I'm bringing back the #1 most popular episode for us to enjoy again. Even though we recorded this interview back in at the beginning of the pandemic, Nicole Stout's words ring true even today.

We have lost a significant amount of footing over the last year in OncoPT. But there's no time like now to regain our step & keep pushing forward for our patients.

This was a hugely popular episode of 2020 - I'm still getting emails & messages about this one!

In Ep. 89, I interviewed breast surgical oncologist Dr. Toni Storm, & she brought the house down with all the knowledge she shared with us. Knowing her perspective as the breast surgeon helps our OncoPT practice so much, especially when it comes to healing & potential complications.

Dr. Toni Storm is today's podcast guest & is a breast surgical oncologist based out of Vancouver, WA with Compass Oncology & is a co-author of the latest edition of Spear's Surgery of the Breast. We talk about lymph node surgery, seromas, cording, breast cancer removal procedures, & what we as OncoPTs need to know when working with patients after breast surgery.

It's time to send this year off with a bang. So before we say hello to 2021, we're recapping the top 3 episodes of 2020. We looked back at the stats, & your downloads picked these three as your favorites!

Today's episode is slightly ironic because here in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter - in my backyard, it's cold & sprinkling. BUT - today's episode is Ep. 76, which is my interview with Josh Levin, President of LympheDIVAs, on summertime lymphedema management.

While it may seem like an out-of-place episode for this time of year, a lot of the skin care principles we discuss are just as important during the dry & cold winter months. Enjoy!

A lot could be said about 2020. I think an overarching theme is one dumpster fire after another.

But it hasn't all been a complete disaster. Even some of the things that totally derailed the momentum we had coming into this year have become exceptional teaching moments for OncoPT. I just wish we didn't have to learn them this way.

Regardless, it's almost the end of 2020, almost the beginning of 2021, so I'm looking for a clean-ish start with some fresh perspective. Because yes, we could continue to gnash our teeth & stamp our feet (we certainly still have a long way to go). OR, we could salvage some of the plans we had & move confidently in the direction of the new year, with the stuff we learned in 2020.

So what did this cluster of a year teach us? LOTS. Such as...

Healthcare jobs are not guaranteed...

In the ways we've always thought. They're there but what happened to them?

We can't control what happens.

Despite working in oncology, I still like to think I'm in control of a lot. What a joke.

But we can control what happens between us & our patient.

AKA we can control how we respond to patient scenarios & ultimately make their OncoPT experience a positive one.

Most importantly: what are we going to do with this knowledge? That's what will define us in 2021.

Ever wondered what the heck goes on in pediatric oncoPT? For me, I have exactly zero experience in this patient population, so I reached out to Lynn Tanner, PT, to give us the low-down on pediatric oncology physical therapy. What she shares is powerful not just for our pediatric colleagues, but for ALL of us in OncoPT.
