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!

Self reflection is great, but if it doesn't go far enough to include your skill set relative to the needs of the team, it's value diminishes greatly.  

If the issue isn't in the tissues, should we be getting our hands off people?  We take a look at this question through the framework of a recent narrative review of the literature.  Enjoy!

Thoughts on the value of clinical experience, with a bit of advice for new grads

An essential skill to anyone looking to share their message at scale is to deliver the goods from the podium.  I've got a few thoughts on the matter here in Part 1 of a two or three part series

Live from Denver International Airport I talk about key questions to form a mentor relationship and to get key info from a trusted mentor.  Also some thoughts on PRI.
