    Ivy Insights

    The PT Inquest podcast is a valuable resource for physical therapists looking to develop their critical thinking skills and stay up to date with current literature. The hosts, JW and Erik, provide insightful commentary and analysis of various topics in sports and orthopedic physical therapy. As an avid podcast listener, I have found this to be my favorite podcast in the field.

    One of the best aspects of The PT Inquest podcast is the hosts' willingness to offer clinical guidance and support on social networks. This accessibility makes it easy for listeners to seek further clarification or ask questions about the topics discussed on the show. Additionally, JW and Erik's insights into a wide variety of topics coupled with their article reviews help listeners gain a better understanding of the current body of literature. This podcast has been especially helpful for recent graduates like myself, as it provides valuable insight and appreciation for evidence-based practice.

    On the downside, some listeners have mentioned that prolonged exposure to this podcast may potentially cloud one's judgment when it comes to alternative forms of therapy such as reiki masters. While this critique may not apply to everyone, it's important for listeners to maintain a balanced perspective when considering different treatment approaches.

    In conclusion, The PT Inquest podcast is an excellent resource for physical therapists seeking to develop critical thinking skills and stay updated with current research. It surpasses traditional continuing education courses by offering valuable insights into methodology and conclusions drawn from published studies. Ultimately, this educational yet entertaining podcast serves as a beneficial tool for both new graduates and seasoned professionals alike in the field of physical therapy.
