In this episode, Co-President of the American Association of Pain Psychology, Dr. Rachel Zoffness, talks about treating chronic pain. Today, Rachel talks about the failed biomedical model, pain neuroscience, and effective non-pharmaceutical pain treatments. When is the right time to refer someone to a pain coach? What are some multidisciplinary approaches to pain management? Hear about the biopsychosocial nature of pain, how pain treatment in the US is actually about money, how thoughts and emotions affect pain, and The Pain Management Workbook, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "What science tells us is pain is not purely biomedical. It's actually this different and more complex thing, which is biopsychosocial." "Pain is complex, and doing one single thing over years and years that has not worked, is probably not the right way to go." "Pain is never purely physical. It's always also emotional." "Unless we're taking care of our thoughts and emotions, we're actually not really treating this thing we call pain effectively." "If it's okay to go to soccer coach to get better at playing soccer, it is surely okay to go to a pain coach to get better at living with chronic pain." "96% of medical schools in the US and Canada have zero dedicated compulsory pain education." "Pain, by definition, is a subjective experience." "Keep doing exactly what you're doing and follow your gut. Trust your intuition, and know that following the path of the thing that you love is the thing that's going to bring you to where you need to be professionally." More about Rachel Zoffness Dr. Rachel Zoffness is a pain psychologist and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCSF School of Medicine, where she teaches pain education for medical residents. She serves as pain education faculty at Dartmouth and completed a visiting professorship at Stanford University. Dr. Zoffness is the Co-President of the American Association of Pain Psychology, and serves on the board of the Society of Pediatric Pain Medicine. She is the author of The Pain Management Workbook, an integrative, evidence-based treatment protocol for adults living with chronic pain; and The Chronic Pain and Illness Workbook for Teens, the first pain workbook for youth.

I think you are very cool. Karen Litzy. And I'm excited to be here. Excellent. So what I what we're going to talk about today, just so the listeners knows, we're going to talk about kind of treating chronic pain from a bio psychosocial standpoint versus a biomedical standpoint. So I know a lot of people have no idea what those terms mean. So doctor's office, would you mind filling in the listeners as to what a biomedical model is and what a bio psychosocial model is? to kind of set the tone for the rest of the podcast? 01:10 I totally Can I talk about this all the time, because it makes me so mad. Okay. So the biomedical model is the one that we all know the best, because it's the way we've been treating pain for many decades. And the biomedical model of treating pain and health in general, is essentially viewing and understanding and treating pain as a problem that is purely the result of bio biological or biomedical processes like tissue damage and system dysfunction, and on anatomical issues, and then throwing pills and procedures at it. That is how we've been treating pain for many decades. And of course,

These are all the things that being a good salesperson encompasses." "The secret to sales is to keep going." "It's okay to be uncomfortable. It's okay just to listen." "Women think that they need to be perfect in order to make money." "I hear from a lot of women that they don't feel safe with money. We were never taught how to make it, manage it, keep it, and use it for growth reasons." "There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to do good work in the world, and not having anybody to do that work with or for." "Raising your rates is actually easy. Can you communicate the value and not the amount?" "Don't take yourself so seriously. Be weird. Be yourself. That's what people want. People buy from people."

So you can't see this everyone because it's a podcast, but we both have the same rode podcaster microphone. So it's like, this is destiny, but I have a question Speaker 2 (00:23): Because I think I know why we have the same ones by any chance. Did Jason help you set up your podcasting stuff or did you ask him for it? Speaker 1 (00:32): You know, and we're talking about Jason van Orden, did he? No, no.

BNH photo is a big store here in New York city. And I said, Oh, I'm debating between like, what's the other one that everyone uses the Yeti. Yeah. The Yeti and the route. And they were like, no, you want the rode podcaster? And I was like, I'll spend the money. I'll do it. I'm going to do it. So so yes, when we came on, I was like, Oh my gosh. And then of course we have all these people in common as well. I guess just a New York thing. I don't know. I know, but you sound less new Yorker than me. Well, I'm originally from Pennsylvania, so that explains it. That could explain it. But I was telling Tara when Tara, when we got on that, I saw her speak at Tricia Brooks speaker salon a couple of years ago, year and a half ago.

In this episode, Physical Therapist in Detroit, Ted DeChane, talks about his experience living with Long Covid. Today, Ted talks about his Long Covid timeline (including attempts to return to baseline, his relapses, and his work), the Long Covid Physio group, and the mental aspect of managing Long Covid. How has Ted adapted his life and work around Long Covid? What is the most common question people ask him about Long Covid? Hear about the importance of peer support and shared experience, the role of Physio in managing Long Covid, and how cognitive and emotional fatigue can set off Long Covid, and get his advice to his younger self, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Long Covid in itself is not caused by anxiety, depression, and those things, but they certainly do exist." "Finding the things that help you get through the day is really important." "If you don't allow yourself that pacing, that rest, you're going to be forced into it." "It's so much more than just the physical aspect of having Covid. Emotional and cognitive overload can cause these physical symptoms as well." "We [physios] can play a huge role in the Long Covid epidemic." "Sometimes these symptoms can come days later." "Helping them [patients] log what's triggering their relapses is helpful." "If youre interacting with people with Long Covid, just have a little sensitivity around some of these questions. They can be triggering, and they can be stressful, and can be something that can increase symptoms of Long Covid." "10% of people who are diagnosed with Covid may have Long Covid symptoms." "Don't be so rigid in your box of knowledge. What you learn in PT school is great, but there's so much more out there. Be open to things you haven't heard of or things that don't fit what you've heard." "It's okay to step outside your box and look at something from a different lens. Even if it doesn't quite make sense yet, be open and willing to learn about something a little different." More about Ted DeChane Ted DeChane is a physical therapist in the Detroit area specializing in pediatric therapy. He covers multiple settings including school-based, outpatient, and acute care. Ted became ill with COVID-19 in March of 2020, and continues to experience persistent symptoms. As part of the Long Covid Physio group, he has contributed to podcasts, articles, and peer outreach.

I am happy to have you on this month as we're talking all about long COVID. So welcome. 00:10 Yeah, thank you for having excited to be able to talk about it. Okay, so 00:15 let's start out with the basic question. What is your interest in long COVID? 00:22 Yeah, unfortunately, it's kind of been thrust upon me, it wasn't something I chose to be a part of. I became ill with COVID symptoms in March of 2020. right at the beginning of the pandemic, I work in an acute care hospital in the Detroit area, which was a early hot spot, so hard to say where how I contracted it. But regardless, I did, and I had the pretty classic textbook COVID-19, acute phase, cough, fever fatigue, lasted about probably two to three weeks, that initial acute phase, and I had recovered mostly so I thought, went back to work back to exercising back to running, living, all those things and just couldn't, couldn't quite get back to where I wanted to be and was pre illness. I had just been suffering from fatigue, and since some heart rate issues, inability to tolerate exercise, and it was beyond the kind of normal deconditioning. You know, I've been in and out of running for years. So I knew that, you know, when you first get back into it, it's not always fun or pleasant. But it wasn't that normal, fun or not fun or not pleasant feeling it was this, just complete debilitation, you know, laying on the couch in a dark room, couldn't even tolerate sitting up kind of thing. And that's when I initially knew that something was wrong and started reaching out to healthcare professionals. My own health care prof

In this episode, Physical Therapist at Pro-Activity, Dr. Daria Oller, talks about living with Long Covid. Today, Daria talks about the signs, symptoms, and causes of Long Covid, how to implement #StopRestPace, and how wearables can help guide your decisions. What are the considerations for athletes wanting to return to sport post-Covid-19 infection? Hear about the role of social media when it comes to Covid, the many mental health aspects of Covid, and get Daria's advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Long Covid comes after an acute Covid-19 infection. The current definition is 'prolonged symptoms after 4 weeks.'" "It's multisystemic… Two people don't present the same." "We're not in a lab. We can't control for every possible thing. Just tweak one little thing and see what happens." "Our energy is very finite." "Learn how to pull back, do what's really essential first, and find opportunities to rest when you can." "Work with where you are that day." "With any athlete who has had a Covid infection, you just need to be aware and monitoring for possible red flags… The fact that they're able to keep going doesn't necessarily mean that it's safe." "There are people who are committing suicide from Long Covid." "There are lots of great peer support groups. Even if you're not getting professional help, you at least have other people you can relate to." "Looking for those little wins and victories, even if they're small, even if they don't seem like much, it helps." "Do not try to push through symptoms… Stopping, resting, and pacing makes a really big difference." "You don't have to push so hard all the time. Things will be there. You know yourself, you know what you're capable of doing, but resting is as important as pushing hard." More about Daria Oller Daria Oller is a physical therapist at Pro-Activity in Lebanon, New Jersey in both an outpatient clinic and on-site with employer clients. She specializes in working with dancers and athletes and in prevention and health promotion. She is also an athletic trainer, having worked in clinical, research, and education settings.

Speaker 1 (00:15): And now what's your interest in long. COVID let the, let the listeners know if they don't follow you on Speaker 2 (00:21): Twitter. It's a very public about this. I got sick with COVID last year in middle of March, 2020, and the symptoms never went away. And early on, we were told people recover in two weeks and after two weeks, I said, I'm not better yet. And I was young and healthy. I'm a distance runner, I'm a dancer, pretty fit, and I just wasn't getting better. And I didn't know anything about post viral illnesses at all. So being the good PT that I am, I just pushed exercise and pushed and pushed because that's what we do. And it made everything a lot worse. And then through Twitter some of the PTs who specialize in myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome reached out to me when they saw my tweets and said, this is bad. You need to stop. We're gonna help you. So then it ju

In this episode the chair of Long Covid Physio, Darren Brown discusses the World Physiotherapy briefing paper on safe rehabilitation approaches for people living with Long COVID. Today Darren talk about the Key messages for Safe rehabilitation from the briefing paper: " • Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation: before recommending physical activity (including exercise or sport) as rehabilitation interventions for people living with Long COVID, individuals should be screened for post-exertional symptom exacerbation through careful monitoring of signs and symptoms both during and in the days following increased physical activity, with continued monitoring in response to any physical activity interventions. • Cardiac Impairment: exclude cardiac impairment before using physical activity (including exercise or sport) as rehabilitation interventions for people living with Long COVID, with continued monitoring for potential delayed development of cardiac dysfunction when physical activity interventions are commenced. • Exertional Oxygen Desaturation: exclude exertional oxygen desaturation before using physical activity (including exercise or sport) as rehabilitation interventions for people living with Long COVID, with continued monitoring for signs of reduced oxygen saturation in response to physical activity interventions. • Autonomic Dysfunction and Orthostatic Intolerances: Before recommending physical activity (including exercise or sport) as rehabilitation interventions for people living with Long COVID, individuals should be screened for autonomic nervous system dysfunction, with continued monitoring for signs and symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in response to physical activity interventions."

In this episode, Founder and CEO of Rehab 2 Perform, Dr. Josh Funk, talks about his experience with the business side of physical therapy. Today, Josh talks about how he created his business culture for employees and patients, his community outreach, and how he assembles his teams. How has Josh grown his business so quickly? Hear about the importance of a balanced dashboard and being mindful, and get Josh's advice to his younger self, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "If I think of somebody who has more autonomy, I think of somebody who's automatically going to be more engaged." "The first thing that you need to start with is admitting that you don't have all the answers." "We move fast, we break sh*t, we fix it, we move on." "A lot of it [growth] starts with continual self-analysis." "Me working in my business was the single biggest blockade for us moving forward." "We've put equal investment on people, we've put equal investment into our local communities, and we've put equal investment into the company as a whole, and as long as we continue to feed those three different areas, and maintain lines of communication, I think we're going to continue to be successful." "A conscious capitalist is somebody that's mindful of all stakeholders." "I view the 35-50 year old female in the community as being probably the single most influential person in your local community." "When I think of marketing, I always think of market relationships." "When you start your company based on core values, you have people that are culture champions." "Your balanced dashboard is most likely going to lead you to better decision-making and getting a better gage for what is actually going on behind-the-scenes in your business." "Much of healthcare practices from a business standpoint are extremely dated, and you are better off spending time studying businesses in other industries for inspiration." "Continue being open for inspiration in a wide variety of places. You'd be surprised, if you had an open mind, what you might be able to see in something that, maybe at one point in your life, you completely ignored." More about Josh Funk Dr. Josh Funk was born and raised in Montgomery County, MD and attended Poolesville High School. Josh went on to play Division 1 lacrosse and earn a B.S. degree from The Ohio State University before earning his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Maryland-Baltimore.

So how many people before you go on, how many people do you employ, just so that people can get an idea of, you know, the, the breadth and width of your practice. Speaker 2 (01:04): We currently have approximately 230 employees. Now we've got openings case. Anyone's looking for a job, but as I know, everyone else is looking for employees as well.

How has the pandemic impacted business revenue, budget, and employment.

"There are huge gaps in terms of not reflecting who our patients really are in every area of the nation." "40% of the [women] respondents said that they now hold C-Level executive positions. That's a 10% improvement." "Almost every clinic leader I talk to today are at pre-Covid numbers, and most of them are above pre-Covid numbers." 50% of therapists, and 42% of therapy assistants reported feeling more burntout now than they did prior to the pandemic. "60% of rehab professionals said that they didn't participate in any of the numerous advocacy efforts from last year." "Even if you disagree with some of the decisions or directions of APTA, that's all the more reason to be involved." "It takes a lot of vulnerability and confidence to say 'I don't know.'" "As a leader, you shouldn't have all the answers. You become a crutch to those that work with you if you're the only one who has all the answers."

"If there's room for improvement, a restorative or improvement course of care is what your skills would be indispensable for. That's what would make your care medically necessary under the Medicare benefit." "If someone else can do it just as well as I can then this is no longer considered skill." "We are helping patients be accountable for their chronic disease management." "There are times that we are indispensable to help people improve and recover function back to a prior level or maybe beyond, and then there's times we are needed to preserve and stabilise their exiting function so that their quality of life can continue on in the fashion that it currently is." "Be a bit more open-minded with how physical therapy really works in reality. Don't assume that what your path at the moment is THE path and can't vary and can't change. There are many other ways you can utilise your skill to benefit those around you." "Don't be afraid to ask questions, and don't think you have to know it all." "If you've got a great idea, or you have something that is a passion, and you've got that intersection of your passion and your skill set, go for it. Start to explore that.

Welcome to the podcast. I'm happy to have you here. Speaker 2 (00:06): Hi, thank you so much for having me. It's really exciting to get, to spend some time talking about circus with you. Speaker 1 (00:11): Yes, and I'm excited because as we were talking before we went on the air it was, it sort of changed my outlook on what circus is and what circus quote unquote performers are. So we're going to get into all of that, which I think the audience will really love. But before we do that, can you talk a little bit about your journey into this niche, into working with circus performers or circus athletes? Speaker 2 (00:40): Absolutely. I started off as a kid who loved gymnastics love to flip and fly and just be in my body and move through space. And I stumbled on circus as a hobby at a summer camp when I was a kid. So I started doing circus and I was really young and realized that I loved to perform way more than I love to compete. So the competition aspect Gnostics was fun for me, but I really just liked being out there in front of the judges and smiling and doing my thing. And I realized I could do that with circus. And it was a really collaborative collaborative environment and very challenging and very similar ways. And so I started circus as a kid went through high school, continuing to expand my knowledge about spickets and my own body. When I could, there was not a lot of resources for learning circus at the time. Speaker 2 (01:27): And after high school, I moved out to the West coast and joined some aerial dance companies to continue to pursue professionally knowing I'd go back to school eventually. And I did. So I went, I went to undergrad every summer, either working at a summer camp teaching circus, cause that was a popular place for circus schools to be, or wherever I could get a job teaching circus doing circus during the summers after college, once again, much, much to my parents' chagrin. I took more time off to go back and do more circus. And I moved to New York to your neck of the woods, spent some time there working with a dance company called strep and with trapeze school, New York while I was there and teaching circus, doing circus and professionally using my body through space as a performing artist before going back to grad school. And then even in grad school, I may have taken residencies and done my clinical rotations where there were circus schoo

Being fully present where you are, in the moment. But also, showing up like you mean it. Patience. "Hold on loosely."

Build habits that lead to better behaviours that lead to better results. Practice. Your talent warrants investment. Pause. Take a moment of mindfulness. Person. Be a person.

And I met you and I met Kate and we're all getting together to talk about how to get on a TEDx stage and really just how to do a talk. Right? Yeah. So let's start. My first question is how did you go from having no talk to getting on the TEDx stage? I think Speaker 2 (00:45): Everybody wants to know. Yes, yes. That is, you know, it's a very fascinating story. I actually met Tricia Brooke at an event. And when I met her, there was something that was just in her energy that drew me to her and I just really fell in love with her. And of course she mentioned, she was, of course speaking about speaking. And I just casually mentioned to her, I'm like, you know, I'm going to get on your stage now. I did not really have an interest of getting on her stage. I, you know, I knew, you know, in my life like getting on a stage at some point in my life was going to happen. You know, I just, I just knew that, but at that particular time, I was really just kind of like, yeah, you know, that sounds good. Well, of course, two weeks later, I get this email from Trisha saying, Hey, I'm launching this week or salon and that's what happened. And so I did speak her salon and it was through the spea

Welcome back to the podcast. Third time. Third time on I'm so excited to have you here. Speaker 2 (00:08): I am so excited to be birth. Third time, Karen, it's always awesome to talk with you. Speaker 1 (00:14): Agreed, agreed. Awesome to talk to you. Not to me. Now this month we're talking all about TEDx talks, how to get on that stage. We've spoken to, we're going to speak to a couple of TEDx speakers, which I'm really excited about and you help prepare speakers for the TEDx stage. So we've got a lot to talk about. My number one question is what is a Ted talk? Speaker 2 (00:43): This is such a great question. And for anybody out there who really wants to dig deep and go into the world of Ted Chris Anderson's book, the official guide to public speaking, Ted talks, the official guide to public speaking is really the place that you need to go. A Ted doc is an 18 minute or less talk. And Chris Anderson actually says, 12 is the new 18. It is a gift, not an anus. It is an idea, not an issue. And you want the audience to adopt your idea as their own. At the end of this talk, a Ted talk is an idea worth spreading, and it is really meant to get the audience to think differently. And there's very specific format and outline when it comes to what a Ted talk is. And I highly recommend you dig deeper with Chris Anderson's book. Speaker 1 (01:37): Yeah. And for those who are watching here, it is. I just happened to have it coincidentally right on my bookshelf next to me. So this is the book. Great. And, and because I do want to differentiate that a Ted talks, not a keynote talk, Speaker 2 (01:54): Right? A Ted talk is 18 minutes or less, and it's really all about getting the audience to think differently. A keynote is 45 to 60 minutes long, and the keynote is going to start out by you telling the audience why you're the credible expert to talk about this idea. You're going to share with us what you're going to cover. Then you're going to cover it. Then you're going to summarize what you covered. And then there's a very clear call to action, which is buy my book, sign up for my program, donate to

On this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Dr. Jonas Sokolof, DO, a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation at NYU Langone's Rusk Rehabilitation to talk about the importance of exercise therapy in cancer care. In this episode we discuss: What is Oncological Physiatry Use of exercise in improving function and quality of life Lifestyle Medicine in Oncology Dr. Sokolof's baseball diamond analogy for rehab The importance of collaboration in the treatment of patients live with and through cancer Common side effects from cancer treatments And more! Resources from this episode: Round Table Talk: Cancer Rehab and Survivorship More info on Dr. Sokolof NYU Langone Oncology Rehabilitation Summit: Optimizing Rehabilitation Outcomes Through Exercise More About Dr. Sokolof: I am a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation at NYU Langone's Rusk Rehabilitation. After completing my residency training at Harvard Medical School, I subspecialized in musculoskeletal/sports medicine and interventional spine care. During this time, I acquired additional skills in the nonoperative treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, lower back and neck pain, coccygodynia, neuropathy, dystonia, and tendinitis. As a physiatrist, my goal is to help my patients regain function through various nonoperative treatments, including rehabilitation, injections for spine and joint pain, and medication. Whenever possible, I try to avoid prescribing medications for long-term use and prefer a more holistic approach to patient care. For instance, I have expertise in osteopathic manipulative medicine treatment (OMT), also known as manual medicine. OMT is "hands-on care"; I use my hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury, through stretching, applying gentle pressure, and using resistance. I often find this modality useful as a supplement to other treatments. If needed, I can also provide people with image-guided injections for the spine and peripheral joints. Additionally, I perform electrodiagnostic testing to diagnose and guide treatment of various neuromuscular disorders. A major focus of mine is the rehabilitation needs of cancer patients and survivors. My goal is to help individuals, from diagnosis to cure, improve overall function and quality of life. I have expertise in diagnosing and treating a variety of cancer treatment–related side effects, such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, radiation fibrosis, lymphedema, and post-mastectomy pain syndrome. As the need for physical rehabilitation grows in the field of oncology, I find it exciting and rewarding to help restore function in anyone who has experienced cancer. I'm also certified in sports medicine, so I'm experienced in treating sports-related injuries in cancer survivors and helping them return to sports and exercise routines. I am passionate about lifestyle medicine, an evolving field that focuses on lifestyle interventions, such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, and smoking cessation, to treat and prevent various chronic conditions and improve function. In my research, I explore lifestyle interventions to improve the lives of people who have had cancer. I also speak at the local and national level about rehabilitation programs for people with cancer. I am a co-chair of the lifestyle medicine counsel for the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and a co-chair of the medical fitness working group for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Additionally, I sit on the executive committee for the American College of Sports Medicine's Task Force on Exercise Oncology.

In this episode, Associate Professor and Program Director in the Physical Therapy Department at the University of Louisiana Monroe, Dr. Lisa VanHoose, talks about the provider role in cancer survivorship. Today, Lisa talks about implicit provider bias, survivorship as a concept, social determinants and healthcare access, and provider trust. How can physical therapists help lessen the overload? How do you determine whether or not you're a trustworthy provider? Hear about the effects of cancer on co-survivors, get some advice for screening when working with cancer survivors, and learn about the disease burden on marginalised communities, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways The definition of cancer survivor: "You become a survivor from the time of diagnosing." "When we talk about survivorship, it really is a conversation about how well are you able to live your life." "Cancer and its treatment is one of the top causes of bankruptcy in the US." "Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease are two chronic diseases where we're seeing the caregivers die earlier than the survivor because of the caregiver burden." "Medical access accounts for about 20% of someone's health outcomes." "Cancer survivors who have unmet social determinants of health are more likely to miss appointments." "If you want to know if you're a trustworthy provider, you should probably ask." "You can condition yourself to have less bias, but you have to actively do it." "100% of physical therapists are going to see someone who had cancer or has cancer." "Everyone needs to be doing a self-assessment of where they're at in regards to their own biases." "African American women were dying at rates 3 to 4 times higher than those of their Caucasian peers." "That difference in healthcare is avoidable if we would just stop and be intentional about the care and the way in which we deliver care to each other." "We're one decision away from someone having a different type of cancer survivorship journey." "Although we know cancer survivors are recording these side-effects to cancer and its treatment, only about 20-30% get referred to a provider to address them." "In our quest to provide care for others, we forget to refresh and replenish ourselves." More about Lisa VanHoose Dr. Lisa VanHoose is an Associate Professor and Program Director in the Physical Therapy Department at the University of Louisiana Monroe. Dr. VanHoose received her PhD in Rehabilitation Science and MPH from the University of Kansas Medical Center. She completed fellowships at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute PRIDE Summer Institute with an emphasis in Cardiovascular Genetic Epidemiology. Her Bachelor of Science in Health Science and Master of Science in Physical Therapy were completed at the University of Central Arkansas. Dr. VanHoose has practiced oncologic physical therapy since 1996. She is a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Oncologic Physical Therapy. As a NIH, PCORI, and industry funded researcher, Dr. VanHoose investigates socioecological models of cancer related side effects with an emphasis on minority and rural cancer survivorship. She has been an advocate for movement of all persons, including the elimination of social policies and practices that are barriers to movement friendly environments. Dr. VanHoose served as the 2012-2016 President of the Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy of the American Physical Therapy Association.

In this episode, Associate Professor in the Doctoral Program of Physical Therapy at Rutgers, Dr. Ellen Anderson, talks to Dr. Stephanie Weyrauch about burnout in physical therapy. Today, Ellen talks about her dissertation on burnout, the distinction between normal stress and burnout, and how these markers of burnout fit into the anecdotal accounts of burnout seen in blogs and magazines. Why is data so limited on burnout in physical therapy? Which settings within physical therapy experience the highest rate of burnout? Hear about the many factors impacting the number of therapists affected by burnout, how Covid-19 has affected recent graduates and students, and the causes of burnout, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "When people work with people who are in crisis, there are a lot of demands placed on them - very different than in other kinds of work, for example." There are 3 categories in burnout: Emotional exhaustion. Depersonalisation. Personal Accomplishment. "When we think about just being stressed out, it's hard to know what that means because everyone's stressors are different." "If a physical therapist has high perceived stress, that's correlated with emotional exhaustion, which is a part of burnout, but not the full definition of burnout." Researchers have suggested that there's 2 ways to look at burnout: The Personal Approach. Make the person resilient, and they will be able to handle any kind of environment. The Work Environment. Make a nurturing environment that's conducive to good work, and supporting people who are in crisis, then you're supporting the workers and you'll have less burnout. "Younger physicians have higher rates of burnout than do older practitioners." "When people in healthcare feel as though they don't have control of the situation, or they cannot contribute to good patient care, effectiveness, and efficiencies, that the burnout rates are higher." "There needs to be an understanding on how stressful and difficult it is to work with people who are at risk and people who are in crisis." "We need to be thinking about ways in which physical therapists can have some participation in systems that supports everyone in that work environment." "One of the things that's very detrimental when people share thoughts and ideas, is that the first response they get is 'we cant' or 'no' without any kind of real honest investigation into the suggestion or recommendation." "Breathing practices and meditation are two strategies which help people be able to manage their stress effectively. The idea is that you practice those things so that when you need it, you can use it." More about Stephanie Weyrauch Dr. Stephanie Weyrauch is employed as a physical therapist at Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Centers in Orange, Connecticut. She received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and Master of Science in Clinical Investigation from Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Weyrauch has served as a consultant for a multi-billion dollar company to develop a workplace injury prevention program, which resulted in improved health outcomes, OSHA recordables, and decreased healthcare costs for the company's workforce. She has served on multiple national task forces for the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and actively lobbies for healthcare policy issues at the local, state, and national levels of government. Currently, she serves as Vice President of the American Physical Therapy Association Connecticut Chapter and is a member of the American Congress for Rehabilitation Medicine. Dr. Weyrauch is also the co-host for The Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, which focuses on innovations in healthcare education and delivery. Dr. Weyrauch has performed scientific research through grants from the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation at world-renowned institutions including Stanford University and Washington University in St. Louis.

In this episode, Co-Founders of Survivorship Solutions, Jillian Schmitt and Kristin Carroll, talk about Cancer Survivorship and the need for Caner Rehab Education. Today, Jillian and Kristin talk about the prevalence of cancer, the importance of competency in cancer rehabilitation for all rehab clinicians, and compiling educational courses from leaders in the field. When should cancer rehabilitation start? Jillian and Kristin tell us that learning is not enough, hear about the value of mentorship, and Jillian and Kristin's community of clinicians, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Cancer is not just one type of cancer. Cancer is not just what you're seeing on the outside, there are physical changes on the inside as well." "One thing that physical therapists have to keep in mind is that 100% of physical therapists, at some point in their physical therapy career, will see someone with cancer." "If you want to stay on the bus, get competent and elevate your skillset to everything, not just cancer rehabilitation, but add that as another skill in your pocket." "If you are a clinician or a therapist, it really is your ethical responsibility to take care of every patient that comes through the door, regardless of what their past medical history is. If you are not confident and competent in taking care of oncology patients, get that way. There's a solution for you. Educate yourself, feel comfortable, feel confident, take care of your patient the way you should." "For administrators and leadership teams, you really want to know that your team can take care of this population. If you do not have something in place that is ensuring that your clinicians and rehabilitation teams are really competent at taking care of these patients, you need to get that way, and you need to get that way pretty quick because the regulations and requirements from the very top levels are requiring that you do that." "If your oncologist is not talking to you about function and what's happening to you during your cancer journey and how that is going to be mitigated, or how you're going to have a rehabilitation therapist of some sort as part of your team, ask for it. It needs to have this bottom-up push as well." "Think big, be brave, and just go for it." "Keep being a sponge. Keep learning. Don't be afraid to try new things. When you're starting to get burned out, try something else. Keep learning and keep growing, and eventually you're going to find something that just wows you and really makes you change not only your career, but your personal growth as well."

In this episode, Founder of Science PT, Dr. Erik Meira, PT, DPT, talks about his campaign platform as the President-Elect of the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy, and the many components of this platform. Today, Erik talks about his roles within the academy over the past 15 years, his formal 5-year strategic plan, creating an executive board separate from the executive committee, and creating a research agenda. What is the overarching vision for the academy? Who is on the executive committee, and how is the executive board chosen? Erik elaborates on organisational structures and boundaries, and embracing the tenets of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "If you look at any 1 or 2 year period, it'll look like things are getting done, but when you look over a longer period of time, you'll see a lot of what gets published kind of has a circular nature to it." "You have to build the boundaries of your sandbox, and then let the person play in the sandbox." "Not every great presenter is a great leader, and not every great leader is a great presenter." "Not everybody wants to keep progressing and keep pursuing, and somebody stepping back should not be slighted and that should not be seen as a negative." "Somebody turning something down today does not mean that you shouldn't offer it to them tomorrow." "Nobody can be you better than you. Remember that. And that goes two ways - remember that the person that you're talking to is also not you. They don't have a brain that works like you, thinks like you, and sees things like you, and they're trying to be the best person that they are as well." "We all have different perspectives, and that's okay." More about Erik Meira Erik Meira is a consultant physical therapist in Portland, Oregon.

Happy to have you on. Speaker 2 (00:04): Hey, Karen, how's it going? Thanks again for for having me on your amazing podcast. I F I F I, I remember being on in the past Speaker 1 (00:13): So long ago. Yes. It has been a long time, but here we are. We're back. Speaker 2 (00:18): That's what happens when we, when we're, we're both veterans we'll, we'll call it. We're both veterans. We, we, we did this in the past, but, but yeah, no, honestly, like big kudos to you for keeping this going and doing such an amazing job with it. Thanks for having Speaker 1 (00:31): Any time. And we'll talk about your podcast a little later, but now, you know what it's like to be cranking out episodes on a weekly basis, right. Speaker 2 (00:39): And staying up with it, right. It's like, it's a way of life now for us. Speaker 1 (00:43): It is, it is. That's why there's like a hashtag podcast life, I think on Instagram or something. It's, it's a thing. It's a thing. So today you're here because you are running for the president elect position for the American Academy of sports, physical therapy. So I wanted to have you on to talk about why you're running and what your platform is and what you hope to do if elected. So let's start with, what is the why behind your running. Speaker 2 (01:13): And I love that. That's how you started this off, because that's how I start everything off. Right. If we don't establish our why, right. Like what's the point of even coming out. But a lot of people, they, they, they don't focus on the end. Right. They focus on just doing the day to day. So I love that you started off with a Y so I'll, I'll be honest with you. This is something I've been thinking about probably for the last, I don't know, several years or so. I never felt that it was the right time for me. I've had a lot of my mentors pushing me to, to run in the past and the past elections. And yeah, I mean, trust me, it's really humbling to know that the majority of past presidents of the Academy are all pushing me to run and, and kind of, you know, it's really an honor to b

In this episode, CEO of Julie Wiebe Physical Therapy, Inc., Dr. Julie Wiebe, PT, DPT, talks about running and pregnancy. Today, Julie talks about running/exercise and pregnancy, creating baselines, the research around female running form, and she busts some pregnancy myths. When can you return to running after pregnancy? What is Julie's definition of 'postpartum women'? She tells us about structuring exercises around their daily exercises and goals, pelvic health education, and she gives some advice to clinicians working with postpartum runners, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Landing mechanics are affected by what's happening north." "Let's understand what they looked like beforehand so that we have a better idea of how to help them find their way back." "Just because you had a baby doesn't mean you should be in pain and weak for the rest of your life." "Listen to what's happening, but learn to interpret it." "If your 10 minutes is spent running and that's your goal, you'll do it. But if I say you've got to lay down on the ground and do rehab exercises that make no connection for you, you're not going to be motivated to do that." "Pelvic health does not mean that you have to be clinically prepared to do internal work. It just means that you're treating the musculoskeletal of someone who happens to have a pelvis, which, last I checked, is everyone. You don't have to be certified as a women's health specialist, but you can get information, read books, watch videos, take courses so that you are competent in treating a woman postpartum that wants to get back to running." "The pelvic floor is not the only gatekeeper that creates pelvic health. It is a component of multiple body systems, and we need to understand that those systems affect the way the pelvic floor acts and behaves. The pelvic floor itself needs to have attention directed at it, but when we talk about just the pelvic floor, it isolates it away from relevance to other areas of care." "Learn to ask questions, and ask questions that make you uncomfortable. You will get more comfortable with it, and understand that what you're trying to do is open a door of communication." "When you read the conclusion in research, is there any other explanation that could've come to that same conclusion based on what you're seeing?" "We need to start broadening our lense, and I think we're broadening it to look at females as not just little men." "Instead of thinking of learning as this linear thing, include and transcend. Instead of it being a linear line, let it be concentric circles." More about Julie Wiebe Julie Wiebe, PT, DPT has over twenty-four years of clinical experience in Sports Medicine and Pelvic Health, specializing in pelvic/abdominal, pregnancy and postpartum health for fit and athletic females. Her passion is to return women to fitness and sport after injury and pregnancy, and equip pros to do the same. She has pioneered an integrative approach to promote women's health in and through fitness. Her innovative concepts and strategies have been successfully incorporated by rehab practitioners and fitness professionals into a variety of populations (ortho/sports medicine, pelvic health, neurology, and pediatrics).

I'm so happy to have you on in our month. All about running and running injury and running rehab. So thank you for carving out the time. Speaker 2 (00:11): It's fun to be back it's it's always a pleasure to connect with you. And it just snaps me back to New York city and I still don't know how we never crossed paths when when we were both there, but here we are, and I'm glad we connected and also happy women's history month. You're someone who's sort of spearheading a lot of great stuff in this space. And I think a lot of people, especially women look up to you and that you're a role model. So things that you've accomplished and continue to work on. Speaker 1 (00:47): That's very kind. Thank you. And now today we're going to do a basic Q and a with Chris Johnson. So Chris gets tons of flooded with questions and comments and things like that from emails to social media. And so I thought, well, let's see if we can make life a little bit easier, reach a wide audience and get some of these questions and concepts under control for you and out to the public. So let's start with a common question that you get is all is kind of around resistance, training and running. Do you need it? Do you not need it? I know that's a really broad question. So I'll throw it over to you around the the, the concept of resistance training and Speaker 2 (01:40): Yeah, and it's a, it's such a great question. I think that everyone's default answer is, you know, basically resistance training is a Holy grail for runners. And I do think it, it has its place, but I think that there are a lot of gaps in the research. And is it something that I prioritize myself as well as in working with the athletes I coach? Absolutely. But I think that anytime you're working with the runner, the primary goal is to get them into a rhythm with their training and to establish consistency of training. And then you can consider to start layering things in this is assuming someone's training and they're healthy. They have no remarkable past medical history. I, I think that, you know, the answer to that question differs especially if we start to get into master level runners who typically have a remarkable past medical history be

In this episode, we have Tom Goom with us again to join us with our running injuries and running rehab talk this March. Today we will be talking about acknowledging types of persistent pain in our athletes or runners. He talks about the bigger picture on persistent pain and its other connections, differentiate this persistent pain versus series of acute flare ups, where we should focus the treatment, and navigating injured athletes return to their sport and many more. Key Takeaways we mustn't lose sight of the bigger picture. And actually, I think sometimes we do need to acknowledge that it is more of a persistent pain state, and not necessarily a series of flare ups of acute injury. Gritting your teeth and pushing on through isn't always the right answer… we do need to know when we need to back off a little bit. Focus on getting you well and ready to race rather than rushing you to get through a particular event when you've got a whole life of running ahead of you. Try and see if you can recognize when you are looking at a more persistent pain state and to try and really get to know that person and the bigger picture and what's driving that Suggested Keywords: Pain, athletes, running, persistent, bigger picture, acute injury, symptoms.

I'm excited to have you on today. Speaker 2 (00:06): Thanks for having me back. I really enjoyed it. Last time we took proximal hamstring. Didn't we last time it was a good chat Speaker 1 (00:13): We did. And now this time you are part of the month of March and this month we're talking all about running injuries and running rehab. So what we're going to talk about today is persistent pain in these athletes. And I know this is something that you're seeing more and more of. So let's dive in what let's talk about as physical therapists or physiotherapists. Do you feel that we're acknowledging these types of persistent pain in our athletes or in our runners? Or are we just thinking, Oh, well, you know, they have this tendinopathy or this strain and it's just keeps recurring. It's just like a, it gets better and then becomes an acute injury again or this back pain. Oh, same thing. It, it kind of goes away and comes back. So what, what is your opinion on that? Are we acknowledging persistent pain in these athletic populations? Speaker 2 (01:20): Yeah, that's a good question. I think maybe we D we do look at it a bit more, like you're saying, we just kind of see it as a sort of repeated acute injury may be large rather than seeing it as a persistent pain problem. And I think that's because in part, when we see people with persistent pain, part of our, of our advice and our management is for them to be active. So if you've got someone to come see seeing you, that is actually already sporty, they're already active that, you know, you kind of think, well, what else needs to be offered here? And I think sometimes we don't really think about the sort of psychosocial practice in sporty or active people, because they're not obviously fear avoidance, especially if they're keeping their sport going. So we, we tend to go down the route. That's perhaps a bit more biomedical isn't now we looked at biomechanics, we look at strength and conditioning and these all can be valuable, but we mustn't lose sight of the bigger picture. I don't actually think sometimes we do need to acknowledge that it is more of a persistent pain state and a, not necessarily a series of flare ups of acute injury. Speaker 1 (02:24): How do we differentiate this is persistent pain versus a series of acute flare ups. Speaker 2 (02:30): Yeah, I think there's going to be an overlap between those things. We know that people with persistent pain that isn't necessarily stable with change can change quite a lot. People go through periods of quite severe flare ups as well. I think it's about sort of looking at the bigger picture and looking at the connection between things like pain and load. So in, in an acute injury situation with som

They might make a Paris's in this interview who knows Speaker 1 (00:15): It is possible. And I have to say, this is like a full circle moment for me, because I have always as a podcast or looked up to you for your podcasting, for your show entrepreneur on fire 3000 interviews. I mean, that is, that is amazing. And, and for all the listeners out there that is not easy to do. And now you've got a new book coming out. Your first traditionally published book. How exciting is that? Speaker 2 (00:47): Listen, I'm fired up. This is a combination of the 3000 plus interviews I've done over the last decade. I've interviewed some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs over the years, and I've learned from every single one of them. I mean, every one has been my mentor and I've been able to distill their genius down into what has turned out to be 71,000 words of my blood, sweat, and tears. Cause it took me 480 writing hours to write the 71,000 words, the 273 pages that comprise this book. But I couldn't take a single word out. This is a definitive 17 step roadmap to financial freedom and fulfillment. So if that's interesting to you, this book is your guy, Speaker 1 (01:34): Which is amazing. So it's the common path to uncommon success, the road to financial freedom and fulfillment. And you know, you, as we know, have been very successful online entrepreneur, but let me ask you a question. Sticking in that online entrepreneur have people been lied to by the quote unquote experts in the online business world. Speaker 2 (01:59): Listen, the online experts in this world. There's a lot of fantastic ones that are doing amazing things out there. And there's some not so fantastic individuals out there who will lead you to believe that the path to uncommon success is secrets. It's hidden. Maybe it's complicated. Listen, it's none of those things I've seen over 3000 successful entrepreneurs and I've interviewed over 3006 successful entrepreneurs. And I've seen that all of them have taken what has turned out to be a very common path, a very common path to one comma success. Now, by the way, it's hard work. It is absolutely hard work, but it's a common path. It's not secret. It's not hidden. It's not complicated. It is a very, very clear, very common path.

Today, Alli tells us about the process of motor learning, how patient autonomy is advantageous to rehabilitation, and how to motivate patients. How does Alli measure motor learning outcomes? Alli elaborates on his on-field rehabilitation model, and the importance of incorporating cognition in ACL injury rehabilitation. Alli talks about RTS from a motor learning perspective, how to continue motor learning on the field, and he gives his younger self some advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways Alli defines motor learning: "In order to acquire motor learning, you need to practice. If you don't practice, you can't learn something." "The learning process itself cannot be measured directly. It's only something you can measure indirectly." "What motor learning should result in is: it should lead to relatively permanent improvement of motor skills." "Be careful how you interpret this process. Quite a few clinicians have a tendency to provide feedback because they intuitively try to correct a patient." "Be a little bit patient with your patient, because learning takes time. Don't interrupt the learning process too soon." "Motor learning, as well as learning a language or math, is a non-linear process." "One of the strong drivers of learning is intrinsic motivation." "We provide our patients with a significant amount of autonomy, which means the patient gets a certain level of control over the exercises." "Providing autonomy during rehab enhances learning." "Around 70% of people prefer to receive feedback after a good performance of an exercise. What happens in most clinical situations, with all good intentions, we typically give corrective feedback, which typically means you didn't do something according to the standards of the therapist. This may affect their motivation." "If you look at the brain activity of someone that is instructed to do something, or the brain activity of a person who has some control over what they're going to do, you have completely different brain patterns. When you give them some control, they are much more engaged, and this is a prerequisite in order to learn something." "If you want to be certain that learning has taken place, you need to measure, otherwise you can't be sure that the patient has learnt something." "If you're good at something, it's not challenging anymore. If it's too difficult, then it's overreaching." "One-on-one training is not what's needed for a football player. They are team athletes." Alli's on-field rehabilitation model: Neurocognition: Reaction time, decision-making, selective attention, inhibition and working memory. Motor component: Strength, range of motion endurance, and speed. Sensory: Visual, auditory, and environmental factors. "We need cognition during our motor control, and if we only work on pre-planned activities, we miss something from the on-field situation." "An ACL injury isn't just a peripheral injury, but it's also a neurophysiological lesion, and that needs to be considered in rehab." "With colleagues that work with paediatric patients, some of the motor learning principles that they use could be very beneficial for us working with orthopaedic, sports-related injuries."

In 1990, Alli graduated with a degree in Physical Therapy from the Rijkshogeschool Groningen. Following his graduation, he worked in both the US and Germany as a physical therapist. In 2003, he earned his Sports Physical Therapy Degree from the Utrecht University of Applied Science. In 2005, he started a PhD project at the University Medical Center Groningen, Center for Rehabilitation.

In this episode, 3rd Year DPT Student at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, Briana Zabierek, talks about her DPT Study Guide. Today, Briana tells us about her experiences in PT school and the frustrations that led her to start the DPT Study Guide. How is the DPT Study Guide helping students? How does Bri find the time to do it all while still studying? She elaborates on the future of the DPT Study Guide, what students can expect to find in the guide and current developments. Briana tells us about how the DPT Study Guide is compiled, finding her entrepreneurial interest, and she gives her younger self some valuable advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways How Bri manages her time: Change of pace: Set a timer for 45 minutes. Put all notifications off, and just zone in on your work. Master a topic, then move on: Be comfortable bouncing between topics. Master the main ideas before moving on to another topic. Don't try to do a whole topic in one go. "The long-term goal is not just to provide products and merchandise, but to really make it a place where you know you're stepping into a simplified version of PT school." "If you have the passion for it, and this is something that you believe in, then you can make anything happen." "You don't have to be an entrepreneur to make these opportunities possible for yourself." "Take more breaks and realize how valuable those can be for hitting reset with your mind and focus, and also make time to have some fun."

I am happy to have you on. Speaker 2 (00:05): Thank you. Thanks for having me. Sure. Speaker 1 (00:07): And we'll give a shout out to Dr. Sarah Hague for putting us into contact with each other and telling me all about the great work that you're doing with DPT study guide. And we're going to talk about that today. So before we talk about the guide itself, why don't you share with the listeners, your sort of personal experiences with PT school, which you are still in your third year student at Roslyn Franklin. So share a little bit about your personal experience with PT school and maybe some of the frustrations that came up for you. Speaker 2 (00:41): Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So first and foremost, I think every student kind of encounters a little bit of a roadblock just starting out between my roommates and just our class itself, we had some pretty good comradery to begin with. And so I always felt that that was a good option to at least discuss, you know, areas that I maybe was struggling with or they were struggling with and just kind of have this like melting pot of different ideas and different ways that we could all just get the job done and kind of figure out what we need to know for exams. But as time went on, I think we all kind of fell into our own little like habits and patterns and maybe a little bit what we're comfortable with. And then what I realized was when I think it was about like the middle of middle or towards the end of first year we had our neuro unit and that is kind of where everyone hit a wall with our study habits and just retaining the information and just kind of collectively as a class, we were making our own separate study guides and they would be like these super, super long word documents. Speaker 2 (01:56): And I'm talking like 50 plus pages full of yeah. Like eight point text. And I was kind of like attached to them. Like we all would get on like our Google docs and like start typing up information and it just became really overwhelm

In this episode, Director of Rehabilitation at OL Reign, Dr. Nicole Surdyka, talks about on-field rehab after ACL injury. Nicole is currently the Director of Rehabilitation at OL Reign, one of the founding clubs of the National Women's Soccer League, NWSL, which is one of the best professional women's soccer leagues in the world. Today, Nicole shares her 5-phase on-field rehab strategy, and the decision-making process in return-to-play and return-to-performance. What are the criteria that Nicole looks at to determine progress to the next phase of rehab? She tells us about delaying return to sport to reduce second-injury risk, the return to sport continuum and how to define it, and the use of the StARRT framework for the return-to-sport decision-making. Nicole gives some valuable advice to her younger self, she tells us about integrating rehab with team activities, and communicating with athletes and coaches, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways Nicole implements on-field rehab in 5 phases. Phase 1: Simple, pre-planned, linear movements. The focus is on quality of movement and cleaning up movement technique before moving on. Typically includes walking marches, walking lunges, side shuffles, and jogging. Nicole starts this at 70-75 quad strength limb symmetry index. Phase 2: Pre-planned direction-changing movements. Typically includes accelerations, decelerations, sprinting, and change direction. Phase 3: Adding reactive tasks without a soccer ball. Direction-changing with an element of reacting to an external event. Nicole starts this with at least 80% quad strength limb symmetry index. Phase 4: Soccer-specific movements. The reactions are done in context – with a soccer ball. Phase 5: This phase should look like a modified training session. Delaying return to sport: each month that you delay that, there's a 51% reduction in second-injury risk, up until the 9-month mark. Return-to-participation: When athletes are participating in their sport in a modified way – participation with certain limitations on activities. Return-to-sport: When there is no longer any medical reason to limit an athlete's participation – "cleared to play". Return-to-performance: There are no restrictions and athletes are training to become better at their sport. "Be patient. Every experience is valuable, and you can relate any experience to what you eventually end up doing."

In this episode, Owner of Sisu Performance and Physical Therapy, Dr. Ellie Somers, talks about bone stress injuries, specifically in female runners. Today, Ellie tells us about differentiating between the male and female runner, and she elaborates on a subjective and objective exam of a bone stress injury. We learn about the most vulnerable sites for a bone stress injury, the misconception about the severity of the diagnosis, and the strategies Ellie uses to get women on to strength and flexibility training programs. Ellie talks about the concerns that many people have after a BSI, and she gives her younger self some valuable advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Female runners have a lot of particular and special needs and considerations when talking about evaluation from a physical therapist perspective, as well as from a communication standpoint, that need to be considered." "When you're getting someone into your clinic, you don't want to make assumptions about their circumstance." Things to consider in a subjective exam for a bone stress injury: Is the patient grasping why they got into this situation? A bone stress injury isn't necessary about the shape of their body or foot, it's a result of limitations of their dietary intake. Their menstrual cycle. This can be an uncomfortable conversation for many clinicians, but it is a required question for a subjective exam. "If a runner is coming to you explaining that they think they sustained a BSI because of their pronated foot or because they were wearing the wrong shoes, we've missed a huge piece of why bone stress injuries actually happen." The most vulnerable sites for a BSI: The femoral neck, the first and second metatarsal, and the anterior tibia, among others. The objective exam: Palpation, single-leg balance, and walking. More explosive movements. These include the single-leg hops and taking steps up or down. "You can still be stressing bone and it's going to heal. When we don't stress bone enough, it could theoretically take longer and put that bone in a more vulnerable position." "Women athletes are more prone to lower bone density than male athletes are." "Runners kind of have this misconception that running itself actually strengthens bone. In reality, it doesn't really strengthen bone as much as we'd like to think." "History of bone stress injury is the number one risk factor for new bone stress injury." "There's no rush. You have your entire life ahead of you to work and refine. As long as you're working on something, you're working towards it."

I'm happy to have you on. Thanks for having me, Karen. So this month we're talking all about running injuries. Just so people coming onto the podcast is the first time you're listening this year, sort of changing up the format each month is a different we're focusing on a different topic. So last month was all about ACL injuries. This month, we're going to concentrate on running injuries, which is why Dr. Lee summers is here. And today we're going to be talking about the female runner. So Ellie, my first question is, are female runners, just little petite male runners, and it should be treated as such. Speaker 2 (00:38): Well, obviously the answer to that question is drum roll, please. No, yeah, yeah. I think female runners have a lot of particular and special needs and considerations when talking about evaluation from a physical therapist perspective, as well as from a communication standpoint that need to be considered.

Episode Summary In this episode physical therapist, biomechanist, and researcher,Dr. Amy Arundale talks about how to decrease the risk of ACL injury. Amelia (Amy) Arundale, PT, PhD, DPT, SCS is a physical therapist and researcher. Amy is transitioning to a new role as a physical therapist at Red Bull's Athlete Performance Center in Thalgua, Austria. Today, Amy tells us about injury-prevention programs, communicating with different stakeholders, and helping empower athletes through education. We also get to hear about her recent publication on Basketball, Sports medicine, and rehabilitation. How does motor-learning, creative thinking, and problem-solving relate to ACL injuries? Amy tells us about implementation and compliance with injury-prevention programs, internal versus external cues as they relate to injury prevention, and the gaps in the research, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "We've got great information. We know these programs can work, but for them to work, you have to do them." "You may be a physio, and you may have this injury-prevention knowledge, but you don't have to be there for this to happen. It's just as effective for you to run this program as it is for a coach or a parent to run it." "It's exciting to see where this next generation is going to be because I think we're going to have some athletes that are more empowered to know more about their body." "We need to be better at reporting our biases, looking at our subject populations, and funding and encouraging studies outside of 'the global North.'" Giving yourself the space and kindness to recognise that you don't know everything and make it a point to learn more is good therapy.

In this episode, CEO of Fyzio4U Rehab Staffing Group, Dr. Monique J. Caruth, talks about how she, as a businesswoman, reacted to Covid-19. Dr. Monique J. Caruth, DPT, is the CEO of Fyzio4U Rehab Staffing Group providing home health services in Maryland. She currently serves as the Southern District Chair of Maryland APTA and is the Secretary-elect of the Home Health Section of the APTA. She holds a Masters and PhD in Physical Therapy from Howard University, and she is a proud immigrant from Trinidad & Tobago. Today, we hear what it's like treating potentially Covid-positive patients, Monique tells us about the screening tool she developed, and we hear about the impact of the pandemic on mental health. Monique elaborates on the importance of Ellie Somers's list of notable PTs, and she talks about her experiences of losing patients. How did she pivot her business to keep it afloat? How has her perspective as both a clinician and a business owner helped her pivot her business? Monique tells us about obtaining PPE, offering Telehealth visits, and she gives some advice to Home Health PTs, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "We started seeing a spike in clients in mid-April when the hospitals didn't want to discharge patients to the nursing homes; they were discharging them directly home, so the majority of our clientele were Covid-positive patients." Monique has started compulsively disinfecting all surfaces. Monique's screening tool: Step 1: Check temperatures every morning before seeing a patient. Step 2: Ask questions about symptoms, traveling, and possible contact with Covid-positive people. Step 3: Ensure PPE is worn. "Gone are the days of spending extra time and doing extra work there." "One of the biggest things for therapeutic outcome is having a good relationship with your patients. Going into the home, you're probably the only person that they're getting to talk to most days. I saw the need to improve on soft skills and being approachable with your patients." "Some sort of contact needs to be maintained. Even though some patients may have been discharged, they would contact the physician via Telehealth visit and ask to be seen again." "Everyone deserves to get quality care." "Some people say, 'this person probably got Covid because they were being reckless'. You can slip-up, be as cautious as possible, and still get Covid." "We're going to see a huge wave of Covid cases coming in the next few months. With elective surgeries stopped, that's going to be our only client population. To prevent the furloughs from happening again, I would just advise to do the screenings, get the PPE, and go and see the patients." Why don't women get recognition in a profession that's supposed to be female-dominated? "People send out stuff to vote for top influencers in physical therapy. You tend to see the same names year after year, but you never see one that strictly focuses on women in physical therapy. I see many women doing great things in the physical therapy world, but because they don't have as many followers on Twitter or Instagram, they don't get the recognition that they deserve." "The thing that I love about Ellie's list is she put herself on it." "In doing stuff you have to be kind to yourself first and love yourself first. Many of us don't give ourselves enough praise for the stuff that we do." "You can't save everybody. When you just graduate as a therapist, you think you can save everyone and change the world – it takes time." More About Dr. Caruth Dr. Monique J.

And in this episode, we talk about just that, how to infuse yoga into your regular physical therapy treatments. And like I said, it goes beyond just some yoga poses and stretches, but really infusing the background and the philosophy of yoga in with your patient in with your patient treatments, but also with infusing your whole philosophy of physical therapy and how you work with your patients. So a big thanks to Shannon and everyone Speaker 3 (03:00): Enjoyed today's episode. Hey, Shannon, welcome to the podcast. I'm happy to have you on. Thanks, Ken. I'm really happy to be here.

Welcome back to the podcast. I'm happy to have you on again. Speaker 2 (00:00:06): Hi Karen. Thanks for inviting me. I'm excited to be here. Speaker 1 (00:00:08): Yes. And today we're going to be tough. Well, let's not let's, let's roll it back for a second. So it seems like each time you've come on, we've talked about some different aspects of pain, right? We're both in that chronic pain world, we love treating people with chronic pain and talking about chronic pain or persistent pain. And we've done that quite a bit. We've talked about the psychological variables associated with persistent pain and how psychologically informed physical therapy is so important. So let's talk about which variables we should be most concerned about with regard to effectively treating pain, big question right out of the gate. Speaker 2 (00:00:52): It is, and it's a, it's a great place to start. And that's a question that all of us are asking ourselves and researchers are asking this question more and more and we're trying to figure out, okay, what is like the key variable? Is there one key variable that we should be paying attention to? And it's interesting if you look at the evolution of chronic pain and I think both you and I have been practicing for about 25 years. So we've really have seen things transitioned from this biomedical biomechanical model, right? And the core of that was let me figure out, let's try and figure out or identify what's wrong with the physical body. Right. Pretty easy. Speaker 1 (00:01:34): And then the pain goes away. Speaker 2 (00:01:36): Exactly. And we were all there at one point, then this bio-psycho-social model comes in and we're like, okay, there was there a psychological variables that we should pay attention to. And what's interesting is when I talked to physical therapists about the psychological variables, they bring in a little bit of that older biomedical model in the sense of how can I identify what's wrong. And then if I know what's wrong, then I can fix it. And it makes sense. And that even shows up in some of our mental heal

Upon graduating, Jenna Kantor worked professionally in musical theatre for 15+ years then found herself ready to move onto a new chapter in her life. Jenna was teaching ballet to kids ages 4 through 17 and group fitness classes to adults.

In this episode, John Honerkamp talks about all things running. John Honerkamp, affectionately known as Coach John, has coached runners of all ages and abilities for more than 20 years. A graduate of St. John's, John was an eight-time All-Big East and six-time All-East (IC4A) athlete while running for the Red Storm. He earned 12 Big East All-Academic accolades and was the youngest semi-finalist in the 800-meters at the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. John is deeply involved in the New York City running community. He launched the Off the Hook Track Club, a local training group based in the Red Hook neighbourhood of Brooklyn and created The Run Collective — born out of a desire to unite the running community and connect, collaborate, and celebrate all efforts from various clubs, crews, and people in the city. Today, we hear some of the mental blocks and physical issues that John often sees with his students, and how he creates milestones to motivate himself to keep running. John tells us about choosing the right shoe, when to replace them, and he gives some advice to new runners, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Everyone's a runner. Some people just choose not to run." "You can't change overnight." "It takes 3 or 4 weeks to find a rhythm, sometimes even longer. Just be patient, slow down, and make sure it's fun." "Taking care of yourself is really important. There are a lot of little things like massage, stretching, eating right, and all these things that are small things that add up to bigger gains."

I'm happy to have you on. Speaker 2 (00:05): Thanks for having me. Yes. Speaker 1 (00:06): A fellow new Yorker, just over the bridge in Brooklyn. Speaker 2 (00:10): That's right. I'm a couple blocks from prospect park. So I do a lot of my running and activities and in prospect park. So I feel fortunate to have access to that space. Speaker 1 (00:20): Perfect. Perfect. So now let's talk a little bit more about you before we go on. So people know you're a run, a running coach and you've been running for the good portion of your life, but can you kind of fill in some of the gaps and let the listeners know a little bit more about kind of what led you up to where you are today in the running world? Speaker 2 (00:40): Yeah. I was fortunate to have an uncle that lived next door to me, and he was trying to lose weight and training for the marathon. Either the New York or the long Island marathon or both, this is probably like 1982, 83. And to DeVos's neighbor, he would just bring me along to some of these 5k and 10 K races. And that was kind of like in the first kind of first a second running boom. And, you know, I do the kids fun run, which to be honest, not a lot of kids were doing, it was usually about a mile distance. And then it gradually, I would, you know, after a year or two, I would, you know, take a stab at the 5k, which was a pretty far distance for seven or eight year old. But I just got exposed to running at an early age and, but not really, I mean, competitive against myself, maybe the clock, but not super serious. Speaker 2 (01:24): I did other sports, but when I w when I got to high school, when I went out for the cross country and track team, and we had a pretty good high school in sports in general. And I kind of had a leg up as far as I've been running for races for a couple of years. And I kind of had, you know, a little bit more experienced than the average freshman, but I definitely was better at running than basketball, football, baseball. I was very good on defense and I realized that equates to like, not scoring a lot of baskets, but it really annoying the other competitors where I had a good engine. And so, you know, I ran very well in high school. I got recruited and I went random, got a full scholarship to St. John's in Queens and ran there for four years. Speaker 2 (02:10): And I was fortunate enough to get better each year. And I had a really good year, my junior year and 1996, I qualified for the Olympic trials and the 800 meters. And that was also the year that the Olympics were in the U S and Atlanta. So it wa

In this episode, Dr. Steffan Griffin talks about his research into 'Rugby Union, and Health and Wellbeing.' Dr. Steffan Griffin is a junior doctor based in London, pursuing a career in Sport and Exercise Medicine. He is a Sports Medicine Training Fellow at the Rugby Football Union, deputy editor at the BJSM, and a part-time Ph.D. student at the University of Edinburgh, where he is researching the topic of 'rugby union, and health and wellbeing'. Steffan also works clinically with a range of elite sports teams including Chelsea Football Club, and London Irish Rugby Football Club. Today, we learn about the different forms of rugby, and Steffan elaborates on the findings of his research regarding the health and wellbeing benefits associated with playing rugby. What does the review mean to those who are interested in gaining the health benefits from rugby? How does this review affect policymakers? What does the review mean for researchers? Steffan tells us about the common misconceptions surrounding rugby, and how his research aims to change that, and he gives his younger self some advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "There are 10 million people playing the game rugby, and they don't play this blind to the fact that there are risks associated with " The different forms of rugby: Contact Rugby: It's the "collision game" that you typically see when tuning in on a Saturday afternoon. Touch Rugby: It's a glorified version of "tag" with a ball. Tag Rugby: Players wear a belt with Velcro strips, and a tackle is when players manage to grab one of those Velcro tags. Wheelchair Rugby: Nicknamed "Murderball". "Our research found that all forms of rugby can provide health-enhancing moderate- to-vigorous intensity physical " "Symptoms of common mental disorders were higher in professional players compared to general " "People are well aware; rugby compared to other sports has a higher injury " "What the review isn't doing is saying that everybody in the world should play rugby… It provides an objective piece of work that can help people make a decision based on evidence and not on emotion and " "We need to try and move away from just looking at studies where all the participants are white middle class " "One of the potential conclusions that a reader could get from this study is that non- contact rugby is the holy grail of rugby, but actually there aren't any level 1 studies looking at the injury risk of " More About Dr. Griffin: Dr Steffan Griffin is a junior doctor based in London, pursuing a career in Sport and Exercise Medicine.

In this episode, Founder of Working Simply, Inc., Carson Tate, talks about making any job your dream job. Carson has a BA in Psychology from Washington and Lee University. She also holds a Master's in Organization Development and received her Coaching Certificate at the McColl School of Business at Queens University. She has 15 years of experience working with organizations across the globe, helping them each to improve employee engagement, productivity, and efficacy. Carson is the best-selling author of "Own it. Love it. Make it Work", a sought after public speaker, as well as a staunch advocate for fair and flexible workplace practices. Her Productivity Style Assessment featured in the 2017 Guide to Being More Productive by Harvard Business Review. Today, we learn about the 5 areas that we need to explore in order to make our current job the best job, and Carson gives us 3 ways to identify our strengths. She tells us about her Abilities Opportunity Map, and provides the tools to avoid the "inevitable burnout". Carson gives us the template we need to say "no", we hear about the 15-Minute List and the importance of "protecting your 90", and she gives some advice to her younger self, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways "Any job can be your dream job because you define the dream." You're in a job – how do you make it the best job? Carson has identified 5 areas that we need to explore: Recognition and reward, Strengths, Relationships, Recognition and Reward – What kind of recognition and reward do you need? "I'm talking about praise and acknowledgement." We're all human beings, and we really need to be seen for our work. Strengths – What are those things that you do almost at near perfection? "You can't not do them. Even on your day off you might try to do them… The reason they're so important is because this is what you bring to the relationship with your employer." Relationships – Having real, authentic relationships at work is essential, not only for performance, but to be happy, fulfilled, and engaged. Development – This is about owning your own professional development. Meaning, Purpose, and Joy – Meaning is not defined by what happens to you; it's your interpretation of the events in your life. "Every job has significance. Every job is meaningful. It's up to you to figure out what that meaning is." There are 3 ways to find and identify our strengths: Reflection, Performance Reviews, and Highlighting Successful Tasks. "The relationship with your employer is a relationship, and any relationship is based on social exchange theory – both parties bring to the relationship and both parties receive. In a relationship that's healthy, both parties work towards mutually-beneficial goals." "When we are working from our strengths, the work is easier, there's less effort but greater impact, more joy, and more flow." "Even at the end of the darkest week, you can pull back and find a source of hope for the meaning." "Every time you say no to something, you're saying yes to something else." "Clarity creates opportunity. Doing the work to identify what your dream job looks like opens up infinite possibilities for you in your current job and in future jobs." "In play, that's where you're going to find those brilliant insights and connections, and the juice to not be burnt out. The one reason we get burnt out is we don't play; we just work all the time." More about Carson Carson Tate believes that work can be the full expression of who we are – the vehicle that takes us to a place where we reach the full potential of our greatness. As a visionary in the field of personal productivity and organizational excellence, Carson uses practical advice and empathetic training to guide and support her clients, helping them shine more brightly than they ever imagined possible. A best-selling author, teacher and coach, for 15 years Carson has worked with organizations of all sizes around the world to help them improve the engagement of their employees, the productivity of their workforces, and the efficacy of their leadership. It is her mission to change how and why we work so that we can each make a greater impact on our own lives, on our communities, and on the world at large. Central to Carson's vision is her belief that when we do work that matters to us, it leads to greater success and wealth. It becomes the foundation of a harmonious life where we have the time, space, mental clarity, physical well being, and emotional energy to take care of ourselves and others. Carson Tate is also the founder of Working Simply, Inc. where she equips organizations with tools, strategies, information and insights that inspire employees and leaders to use their gifts and talents to build their legacies. Carson's signature courses include: Mobilize Your Inbox: How email can work for you. Work Well With Others: Find joy in teamwork. Work Smarter, Not Harder: Get up close & personal with work.

Episode Summary Are you willing to experience anything? In this episode, the Founder and CEO of MEG Business Management, Brian Gallagher, talks about the power of the intrapreneur and entrepreneur in private practice. Brian graduated with a BSc in Physical Therapy from Daemen College in 1992. Soon after, he founded Gateway Health Services, which quickly became one of the largest staffing companies in Maryland. In 1999, he founded Cypress Creek Therapy, which was awarded the Anne Arundel County's "Most Family Friendly Business" for several consecutive years, and in 2011, Advance Magazine awarded CCT as the "National Practice of the Year". In 2006, Brian founded MEG Business Management and has grown to become among the top 10% of private practices across the US. Today, we learn about the difference between an intrapreneur and an entrepreneur, the four types of PT owners, and Brian gives practice owners some advice on the interview process. He tells us why he sold his practice with a contingency, and how the current environment is ideal for entrepreneurs. We get to hear about the 4 C's, how we can become a successful Go-Getter Owner, and Brian gives his younger self some advice, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways • "Typically, an intrapreneur is a manager within a company who assumes no financial risk, but they're willing to promote and execute on the development and implementation of innovative products or services." "An entrepreneur is similar, but it's one who will find the needs out there within the business community, and simply fill them by developing their own ideas into actualities, by assuming the full financial risk and development of that idea through a business model of their choice." • "Your practice is a reflection of you as an owner. Figure out which type of owner you are first." • "The secret to successful hiring so that you can be correct 85% of the time is that you have to get the entire team involved in the hiring process." • There are 4 types of PT owners: The Innocent Owner, The Caregiver Owner, The Know-It-All Owner, and The Go-Getter Owner. The innocent owner – the person that falls into ownership, and is managing based on census. They never really thought about being an owner; they just had an opportunity. The caregiver owner – they assume the perspective of a clinician first and owner second. They tend to run their clinics like it's a democracy. The know-it-all owner – through their life's experiences, they're not open to new ideas. The go-getter owner – they have an entrepreneurial spirit, they like to manage based on performance, and they're in a continuous pursuit of knowledge. • "This is an entrepreneur heaven right now." • "If we're going to sit here and go through our profession, and continue to colour inside the lines and make our picture like everybody else's, you're only going to get that." • "When you ask what the common denominator is to all success, the highest thing would be confidence." • "Transparency breeds trust." • "The secret to success is giving." "I hate a win-win relationship. A win-win relationship implies that I'm going to allow you to win as long as you help me win." • "Don't react; respond." Book Mention The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann Suggested Keywords Intrapreneur, Entrepreneur, Owner, Courage, Capability, Commitment, Confidence, Success, Listen, Introspection, To learn more, follow Brian at: Email: [email protected] Website Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube More about Brian: In 1997, Brian founded what became one of Maryland's largest therapy staffing companies, while at the same time launching a multi-site private practice that resulted in a sale in 2006. Brian re-acquired the practice in 2008, thus doubling it, before winning "Practice of the Year" in 2011. MEG Business Management began in 2006 as an educational coaching company training owners and their key employees on innovative practice management strategies. Today MEG has taken another major leap forward by developing a Virtual Training platform that practice owners can now have the tools and training resources to professionally enhance, track and manage employee performance, and hold in compliance with every employee in the company. This platform is available 24/7, 365 days per year. When Brian is not coaching, or working on the VT training platform, he can be found giving lectures at the APTA, PPS and CSM Annual Conferences, as well as APTA State Chapters and DPT Schools across the country. Brian believes strongly in giving back to the profession of physical therapy and does so by supporting the APTA through lecturing, writing articles, and performing webinars.

Learn more about the Redoc Patient Portal here. More about Dr. Gina Kim: Dr. Gina originally wanted to play the trumpet when she grew up. Performance anxiety in high school changed her mind. But what was more worrying was the low back pain that began around that time. She endured that pain for years, but X-rays and muscle relaxers didn't help. She was fortunate to work with a physical therapist. Being free from back pain was so dramatic that she decided that's what she wanted to do with her life: Help people change their lives by treating pain, especially back pain, without drugs or surgery. She stated at the bottom as a rehab aide. Next, she earned her license as a Physical Therapist Assistant and worked for years in settings ranging from outpatient orthopedics to acute care to home health. While working as a PTA, she completed her Doctorate through the University of Findlay Weekend College Bridge Program. Dr. Gina is certified in Integrative Dry Needling, is pursuing certification in MDT, and also uses her 10-year background in Tibetan Buddhism to educate her clients in mindfulness meditation. She is also the producer and host of The Medical Necessity Podcast. Read the Full Transcript below: Speaker 1 (00:01): Hello, Gina. And welcome to the podcast. I'm so happy to have you on, Speaker 2 (00:06): Well, I'm happy to be here, Karen. Speaker 1 (00:08): So you've got two podcast hosts here. So now you're on the other side of the mic. Speaker 2 (00:15): Oh goodness. It's great to be. Speaker 1 (00:20): So today we're going to talk about sort of your non-traditional route to becoming a physical therapist. So as, as a lot of people know, or maybe some listeners don't know the physical therapy profession, we're now a doctoring profession. So people are going to school for an undergraduate degree and then usually going right into physical therapy school as their graduate school of choice. But Gina made a definite detour from college through to where she is now as a physical therapist. So I will throw it over to you, Gina, and just kind of tell us your story, because I'm sure it will resonate with a lot of people. Speaker 2 (01:04): Oh my goodness. So my bachelor's is in computer science and I won't say how long ago, but let's say windows 95 was the hot new thing. Everybody was getting a computer science degree. I was even, I was even a company's webmaster for a time. So here's the thing, here's the thing. I have zero patience for technology longstanding low back issues. Okay. And especially sitting at a desk job, you know, we all, you know, PTs, you know, now I, now I know well when I was working one particular job, you know, and couldn't take the back pain anymore. And what do I do? I go to see my, go, to see my family doctor and it's x-rays and muscle relaxers, and guess what? Didn't help shocker shocker. And I can't tell you how many years passed between then. And finally, someone I remember I had hired a personal trainer who was himself, a physical therapist, and he said, Oh, you need to see someone who really specializes more in the low back, you know, cause so sky was kind of more on the equipment sales end of things. Speaker 2 (02:38): So I found I found my PT and he it's it's so trite, you know, saying he did his magic on me. It's like, I know what he did on me now. But I went from unable to touch my toes. You know, being in pain, you doing, doing that shuffle walk too. Hey, I don't hurt anymore. Yeah. And his reaction was right. And I'm like, wow. And I kind of went away and being kind of in the transitional phase that I was in with a kind of not loving, you know, computer, you know, computer science, you know, that kind of field and also being kind of a gym rat myself. So I was hanging, I was hanging out with with my PT and kind of, you know, kind of doing my own observation hours and doing my due diligence and asking about the education and everything. Speaker 2 (03:46): And he said, well, you know, because I was already I think at that point out of my twenties, right. He S he said, well, you should

Speaker 1 (00:08): Yeah. And so obviously I'm a physical therapist as are you, you have specialized in pelvic health and women's health, and then you have also kind of made that transition for at least part of your career into coaching, mainly other women from around the world. So before we get into the meat of the interview, I would love for you to share with the audience a little bit about your sort of career trajectory. Speaker 2 (00:40): Absolutely. Yes. So it's a, it's a little professional and it's a little personal, so it's the story tends to track with a little bit of both. I also went and got my yoga certification and that was actually the first thing that I did after physical therapy, you know, from, from physical therapy. A lot of that came because you know, in our profession we have a high turnaround and burnout ratio there at times. And I was a chronic fixer and helper and I was good at what I was doing to the point where I, you know, anybody came in and I was ready to, you know, help them with their issue. And so I went to my first yoga class, really just to chill myself out, get a little bit grounded and get, get real. And then from there it really almost overnight, it, it drastically shifted the way I was showing up and treating my patients at the time. Speaker 2 (01:42): I realized that kind of less was more, I realized that it was more important for me to listen instead of coming in with a plan and, you know, my own action sheet and really meeting people where, where we were, I think I was always empathetic, but it, it really enhanced that. And on top of that, I stopped getting sick. I was averaging, you know, a sinus infection once a month and just burned out already and young because I didn't want to, you know, you didn't want to fail having that syndrome. So really yoga kind of came first and then that solidified me for a while. I kept into the physical therapy world. I've always lived in rural areas in Virginia and I was on the Eastern shore of Virginia and I'm an only child. So I do like to be the only one doing something I like to be a little special. Speaker 2 (02:40): And, and so I realized nobody in the area was doing pelvic floor work. I had in all of my internships had some sort of connection to pelvic floor and women's health work. So I, I

I am thrilled to have you on welcome. Speaker 2 (00:06): Thanks so much, Karen. I'm so grateful to be here. Speaker 1 (00:09): And so today we're going to be talking about pelvic health or women's health after pregnancy, during pregnancy, which, you know, a lot of longtime listeners of this show will know that I've had a lot of episodes on this, but I'm particularly excited about this one, Helene, because you're going to, I think, bravely share a little bit about your story about your birthing experience and, and your experience with your body and how it changes and continues to change even after. So I'm just going to throw it to you and just kind of let you tell your side of the story. Thanks. Speaker 2 (00:48): Yeah, I know that in my, I have a my son is about to be one on Monday in just six days. So I know that in my time, since I gave birth or while I was pregnant hearing other women's stories always helped me to not, not feel alone, even though I knew what to expect because I specialized in pregnancy and postpartum long before I got pregnant. So I am really excited to share some of my story. The biggest, the biggest thing that, that happened when we first started trying to get pregnant was when we were trying to conceive and we got that positive pregnancy test. We were so excited. But then, and I remember, cause it was Thanksgiving. And all my family was so, so, so excited cause we shared right away. Cause I figured no matter what happened, I wanted to have the support of my loved ones. Speaker 2 (01:43): A few days after Thanksgiving, I started to have some bleeding and I started to have some cramping and it, it was before I had even gone for my first prenatal visit with my OB. And when I showed up for my first prenatal visit, she said, congratulations. I said, I'm pretty sure I'm having a miscarriage right now. And, and sure enough I did miscarry at about seven weeks which is early enough that some people don't even call it a miscarriage. It can be called a chemical pregnancy. My OB was incredible. And she said to me, they say, when it's this early, that you shouldn't be comforted because it was probably a chromosomal abnormality. And you know, it, it just naturally aborted itself. She said, but that didn't help me when I had two miscarriages. So I, I feel you that meant the world to me. Speaker 2 (02:36): Cause it was, it was it was a hard thing because we wanted the pregnancy so badly. And then actually I had a lot of trouble with continuing to bleed. And then I ended up needing an emergency DNC because I

Read the full transcript below: Karen Litzy (00:01): Hi, Leigh, welcome to the podcast. I'm happy to have you on. Leigh Hurst (00:05): Thanks for having me, happy to be here. Karen Litzy (00:07): Yeah. And now we're in the month of October. And for those of people who don't know October is breast cancer awareness month. And in the past, I've had shows about breast cancer during the month of October, but this is the first time I am speaking to a breast cancer survivor. So thank you so much for coming on and sharing your story because I know it's going to be so helpful for other women and men listening to this podcast. So before we kind of get into everything, I'm going to just throw it over to you so that you can just kind of tell your story how old you were when you were diagnosed. How did you find out? So I'll send it over to you. Leigh Hurst (00:51): Okay, cool. Thank you. So I was officially diagnosed when I was 33 that I had felt the lump for some time leading up to the actual diagnosis. So I think I was probably around 30 or 31 when I started to notice the lump. And I was living in New York city at the time and I was a marathon runner. So really health conscious, certainly educated about my health felt very kind of plugged into that kind of thing. And for a little while, I didn't really think much about it. I just thought it was, you know, something no big deal. I really small breasts. So I felt like when I'd go to the doctors, I'd let them sort of do their exam of my breasts and they would never notice it until I would point it out. So I would literally take their hand, put it on my boob and say, this kind of feels a little different to me. Leigh Hurst (01:39): I don't know if you notice it or not. It's like a ridge on the outer side of my left breast and then they would feel it and then they would say, I don't really think that's anyt

Since then I've continued study at postgraduate level and my papers have included business skills, ergonomics, mental health therapies, and psychology. I completed by Masters in Psychology in 1999, and started my PhD in 2007. I've now finished my thesis (yay!) and can call myself Dr, or as my kids call me, Dr Mum. I have a passion to help people experiencing chronic health problems achieve their potential. I have worked in the field of chronic pain management, helping people develop 'self management' skills for 20 years. Many of the skills are directly applicable to people with other health conditions. My way of working: collaboratively – all people have limitations and vulnerabilities – as well as strengths and potential. I use a cognitive and behavioural approach – therapy isn't helpful unless there are visible changes! I don't use this approach exclusively, because it is necessary to 'borrow' at times from other approaches, but I encourage ongoing evaluation of everything that is put forward as 'therapy'. I'm especially drawn to what's known as third wave CBT, things like mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and occupation. I'm also an educator. I take this role very seriously – it is as important to health care as research and clinical skill. I offer an active knowledge of the latest research, integrated with current clinical practice, and communicated to clinicians working directly with people experiencing chronic ill health. I'm a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Orthopaedic surgery & Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Otago Christchurch Health Sciences. I also offer courses, training and supervision for therapists working with people experiencing chronic ill health.

And so we just want to acknowledge that and that we see it and that we

Read the full transcript below: Karen Litzy (00:01): Hey, Eric, welcome to the podcast. I am happy to have you on. Eric Miller (00:05): Well, thanks, Karen. I'm really excited to be here. Yeah. Karen Litzy (00:08): Before we get into our talk on, you know, how to maximize the value of our practice, in your bio, I read that you're a registered financial consultant. So can you explain to the listeners what that is and maybe how that differs from a financial advisor, an accountant? What is the differentiation there? Eric Miller (00:31): No problem there. So I think when people hear that I'm a financial advisor, I mean, people kind of have the same impression that all financial advisors are alike, so to speak. And that's not always the case. You know, there's some financial advisors that specialize in working with you know, ministers and teachers and all different kinds of professions. I just happened to work with private practice owners. Now, as far as am I licensed to do what I do in the financial world, there's something called being a fiduciary. And when you're a fiduciary, that basically means that you have to do what's in the best interest of your client, not all financial advisors adhere to that standard. What's called a registered investment advisor and we're held to that standard under the SEC guidelines. And then as a registered financial consultants, it's a designation that I picked up along the way. And it just basically, you know, there's certain criteria that you have to use to be able to get to that designation that's system. Karen Litzy (01:41): Got it. Yeah. So, you know, we were talking before we went on and it's kind of like if you're in the physical therapy world, which I am, and you go on to become, you know, like a clinical specialist in orthopedics or a clinical specialist and in pediatrics, it's like going on for a little bit extra education and certification and what you do is that right? Okay. That's exactly correct. Perfect. Perfect. All right. So now let's get into the meat of this interview. So today we're going to be talking about how to maximize the value of your practice, perhaps plan for an exit of that eventually. And we're going to weave in some critical tax strategies that you might be able to use to save you money. So no one likes to leave money on the table. No one likes to feel like a dope because they didn't know what they were doing. So, let's start with maximizing the value of your practice. So first, what does that even mean? Eric Miller (02:42): That's a great place to start because I think people automatically assume that when I say maximizing your practice value, it's just about money, right? It's just about, Oh, the, you know, what's the enterprise value of my business. And then that leads into, Oh my gosh, he's going to talk about like profit and loss and EBITDA and all these really technical terms. But in my viewpoint maximizing practice value. Isn't just about money. It's about the other parts of owning a business that you
