In this episode Dr. Perry has a chat with Chris DaPrato DPT, SCS, CSCS, PES, MFDc the lead instructor and innovator of Integrative Movement Health We discuss the science and applications of cupping in helping pain. There are a lot of myths out there about cupping and Dr. DaPrato sets the record straight. If you have ever wondered if cupping is a theraputic option for you, this is the episode you do not want to miss. Some of the highlights.   Movement matters — it's not just passive suction Dr. DaPrato emphasises that MFD is distinct from traditional passive cupping because it combines negative-pressure suction with active movement or loading.   Fascial shear, glide and viscoelasticity are key targets Chris explains improving the sliding/ gliding surfaces of fascia, increasing viscoelastic properties and thereby enhancing mobility and tissue responsiveness   Cups can be used as neurosensory tools not just mechanical tools One of his points: the cups provide sensory input — mechanoreceptor stimulation, nervous system modulation, proprioceptive feedback — which can influence movement patterns and motor control. Dr. DaPrato currently treats professional and NCAA athletes at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley, while teaching in the Orthopedic Residency for their School of Medicine. He is a strong proponent and educator for manual therapy in sports and has presented evidence informed practices at conferences both nationally and internationally.  After receiving his BS in Human Physiology, his Masters in Physical Therapy from Long Beach, and his Doctorate from Temple University, he went on to become Board Certified in Sports through the APTA.

Sobre el Ibex 35, Moro señala que la ligera corrección del día “no le parece peligrosa”. Explica que “está cayendo mínimamente, como casi todos los índices”, y marca el nivel clave en los 14.300 puntos. Añade que el “estado de euforia permanente” que muestran las bolsas “está siendo matizado”. También analiza las dudas de nuestros oyentes. En el caso de Telefónica, el analista muestra cautela. Destaca que la compañía mantiene “demasiadas dudas” en su comportamiento y que, cada vez que tiene la oportunidad de consolidar avances, “vuelve a caer por debajo de niveles importantes, niveles que le cuesta superar”. Por último, sobre Logista en el largo plazo, Moro reconoce que siempre le parece “un misterio”, especialmente en un contexto en el que los principales índices se mueven en máximos históricos.

Pelvic floor disorders can wreak havoc on your well-being, especially as a woman who wants to run, jump, hike, bike, and otherwise enjoy an active life. Unfortunately, pelvic floor dysfunction is extremely common, with about half of us experiencing urinary incontinence alone (let alone painful sex, constipation, prolapse, and so forth). But we don't have to live with all these pelvic floor problems that are sometimes painted as just “normal aging.” This week we take an illuminating deep dive into what you need to know about pelvic floor health and function (spoiler: it's way more than Kegels) with Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, author The Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms. Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD, is a board-certified women's health physical therapist with over 40 years of experience, including nearly three decades specializing in pelvic health. During her tenure at Duke University Health System, she treated patients across urogynecology and physical therapy clinics, co-directed the Women's Health Residency Program, and contributed to national pelvic floor research through the Pelvic Floor Disorders Network. A recognized leader in her field, Ingrid has served on committees for the APTA and AUGS, is a Medical Advisory Committee member for the National Menopause Foundation, and authored both scholarly articles and the book The Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms. Through her clinical work, writing, speaking, and “The Pelvic Detective” YouTube presence, she's helped demystify pelvic floor dysfunction—addressing conditions like incontinence, prolapse, pain with sex, and menopause-related changes—while empowering people with the knowledge to advocate for better care.ResourcesThe Musculoskeletal Mystery: How To Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms hereGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

On January 1, 2017 new Common Procedural Codes Terminology or CPT codes were formerly introduced for physical and occupational therapy evaluations. CPT, authored by the American Medical Association, aims to provide uniform language for health care professionals to code medical services. The goal is to streamline reporting, and to increase efficacy. The decision to modify evaluation coding came about after careful deliberation with AOTA, APTA, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, other insurers and other key stakeholders. Why is this change a huge win for PT and OT professionals? It allows us to capture the complexities of the patients you work with every day in practice. Prior to 2017 all evaluations were coded the same, regardless of the time, effort, and critical thinking skills needed by the therapist to perform the service. Now that we have coding options, how do we know which evaluation code to choose? And why does it even matter? Data is being compiled and could result in increased reimbursement in the near future. Therefore, PTs and OTs are charged with the responsibility of using critical thinking to select a code that accurately reflects the complexity of the evaluation. This course will discuss the dos and don'ts of complexity code selection and several reasons why it is important to choose correctly; including ethical and legal considerations. Several case examples will be provided to integrate theory into practice, as well as a Complexity Code Selection Guide. Return to the clinic ready to code confidently and accurately every time.  To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here.
