Population health may be the single biggest opportunity for physical therapists in today's arena, the question is whether or not we are going to take advantage of it!

Detecting abnormality is easy, detecting relevance is far more challenging, let's talk about the difference

Amazing how easy it is to make things about us, what WE want to use for an intervention, what WE want to teach.  But at the end of the day the student will get far more out of the experience if we understand where they are coming from.  Let's chat

Dr. Lucy Thomas has put out a couple great articles that update our understanding of vascular dysfunciton/pathology, let's review them 

A little less talk and a lot more action is a motto that could be employed with great success in both patient treatment and marketing strategies, we discuss. 

Tough question from my friend and colleague Chris Hinze who asks "if you had the ear of everyone in the profession for 60-90 seconds what would you say"? Thank answer and more on today's episode 

Speaking truth to power has never been easy, unfortunately there isn't another way to get the job done so let's get on it. 

Marketing our accomplishments has value for sure, but so does marketing our ability to hang in there when times get tough.  

You can't use current best evidence if you don't know how to interpret it.  This morning I offer a few thoughts on key things I look at while deciding how much to incorporate new research findings into practice. 

It's a tough one and an important one.  This morning I want to talk about a few things I would ask all of you to include in your answer to best represent our profession

Tons of great questions this morning on the Friday Q&A.  We talk best and worst days as a PT, how to market to physicians, what should be taught in school, and so much more!

It's great to give 110%, no argument there, but making sure it's YOUR 110% isn't as easy as you might think. 

Trying to lead in a fashion that doesn't ruffle any feathers is both ineffective and exhausting. Let's talk

It seems that CPRs have been a topic of great debate since their inception in physical therapy research and practice.  Most recently Dr. Chad Cook had a great blog post and editorial that highlighted some concerns with these tools.  Today we tackle this important topic in hopes of generating more thoughtful discussion on how or if CPRs have a place in physical therapy. 

Creating the vision is certainly the exciting part, but people who consistently deliver over time know the truth:  It's all about execution on the small steps.  Enjoy

Such a fun morning taking questions from an energetic group of South College students alongside long time mentor of mine Dr. Tim Flynn!  

Lots of clinic owners and managers are out there frustrated by the fact that "they don't make them like they used to".  I think there is truth and error in that, I'll explain

Tim Flynn and us years ago that experts do the basics well.  I thought I understood the what he meant, I didn't, but I'm starting to.

The temptation to create a brand and launch a company early on in your career is higher than ever possibly due to a combination of increasing debt and increasing ease of marketing via social media etc..  Here are a few reasons why I believe being patient is almost always the right choice. 

The first LIVE Q&A in #PTonICE history!  Broadcasting right from South College campus, these students had incredible questions on mentorship, branding, and how to move up the ladder.  Enjoy!

There are plenty of times we feel underwhelmed with different experience, how you respond to that makes all the difference in the world. Let's chat

This morning on #PTonICE we highlight some key literature in an attempt to understand how specific we  an or can't be with manual therapy techniques, and whether it is really matters. 

Yes getting patients early is generally a good thing, but do we need to treat every single one we see?  Some thoughts in light of a recent JOSPT viewpoint and systematic review

Through our journey there are inevitably things we want to see changed to be done better and differently.  Whether we are in a position to effect that change is an important variable in our career satisfaction 

Great questions again this week!  My thoughts on how to form relationships with referral sources, the challenges of learning when clinic is crazy, and whether going to PT school is a good idea.  Let's do it!
