Balance is a common challenge among people with Parkinson's disease and it can be made even more challenging when there is both a risk of falls AND a high fear of falling. What's a clinician to do to improve overall balance when your patient is too fearful to try so many things? On today's show Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS discusses exactly that predicament with physical therapists Sharanya Chavva, PT, DPT and Jennifer Lazaro, PT, DPT, NCS who share the findings of their poster from APTA CSM 2025. Their poster, which outlines a case study of a PwP, won the APTA Balance and Falls SIG first place award. Their research focuses on a unique approach to balance interventions that incorporates high intensity focused training on one aspect of balance - Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) - that demonstrates transference to other balance outcomes. Key Highlights: - The study centered on a patient in the early stages of Parkinson's disease who had significant anxiety about falling - Traditional balance training methods weren't effectively improving her confidence - They introduced a novel approach using a specific anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) training protocol - A Zero G harness system was utilized to help the patient feel more secure during exercises Remarkable Results: - Patient's balance confidence (ABC score) increased from 73% to 80% - BESTest score improved dramatically from 62% to 83% - Patient began engaging more in daily activities like grocery shopping - Achieved high-intensity training with up to 160 repetitions per exercise This case study demonstrates that targeted, high-intensity balance training can significantly improve patient confidence and functional mobility. By focusing on anticipatory movements and creating a safe training environment, therapists can help PwP overcome their fear and improve their quality of life. Check out the poster here

Tough conversations are a given in cancer rehab - there's truly no way out of them.From the diagnosis of cancer to chronic impairments to financial toxicity, there's a plethora of challenging topics that we MUST discuss with our patients.  But why is it so hard???In short, nobody likes delivering bad news.  We got into health care to HELP people, not make them feel bad.So why not just avoid tough conversations altogether?  Because it actually hurts our patients in the long run.We cannot allow this to continue any longer - & that's why I'm thrilled that Dr. Lori Boright is on the podcast today to discuss her upcoming APTA-CSM session called Navigating the Complex Situations and Tough Conversations of Working With the Cancer Population.Here's what we covered in today's interview: Having difficult conversations with patients is an important aspect of working with the cancer population.Authenticity and being your true self are key in having these conversations.Confidence and practical skills are essential in delivering difficult news to patients.The session at CSM aims to provide clinicians with tools and resources to improve communication and help patients navigate the challenges of cancer care.Follow TheOncoPT on Instagram.Follow TheOncoPT on TikTok.Follow TheOncoPT on Twitter.

Episode 115 NPTEFF APTA CSM Review

In this episode, you'll hear my conversation with Maria Aguila, PT, DPT about our experience in the recently concluded APTA Combined Sections Meeting held in San Antonio, Texas. Maria turned the table a bit and did the hosting since it was my first time attending the CSM in-person. We talked about expectations and motivations in attending the conference and what we look forward to for next year's event. Our conversation led to us talking about the experiences and struggles of internationally educated physical therapists, serving digestible physical therapy education for our patients, and the push to be more visible within our profession - whether in our own state, academies, SIGs, or APTA. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ptmealpodcast/support

APTA-CSM 2021 looked a bit different this year. With a lot of hard work, the conference brought together the same & new brilliant minds who are helping advance our profession. But I think there's definitely some take-aways from this year on how to make it better for next year.   Sign up for my new FREE workshop: 5 Things that Separate Newbies from Confident, Competent OncoPTs

It's the most wonderful time of the #OncoPT year! We are so excited for the virtual APTA-CSM 2021 experience, & we're highlighting some of favorite parts in today's episode. From posters to platforms, sessions, exhibits, & more, you don't want to miss the inside scoop on this virtual experience to remember!

Kyle Covington, Gus Martinez, Lynn DiPirro, and Clarence Holmes are all highly involved in the APTA here to talk about their “why” to attend APTA National Student Conclave. As of today, this virtual NSC is the highest recorded for registration with over 1,800 students. All students registered for NSC will have a 50% off registration at APTA CSM which will be held virtually. The panel agrees that NSC is an opportunity to show students other areas of physical therapy that students may not be exposed to in the classroom or clinic. Student Assembly Board of Directors voting ends November 7th. Cast your vote today! All student members are eligible to vote in this election. There is a meet and greet with the candidates live at 12pm ET on November 7th. NSC is a great first step for students to dive into the national level created by students for students. All students who attend NSC are leaders. PARTING SHOT “Find your path, get involved. Make the profession better. Make us more accessible to our patients in some way.” – CLARENCE “You have a voice. Get involved and have a voice in your profession and in your clinic but in the APTA and in your community.” – KYLE “Get involved early because those connections that you make super early make getting involved as a new grad or later on in your career an easy phone call away.” – LYNN “These conferences these networking opportunities are a way for us to learn about our tribe, our community and share ideas that we may have never been exposed to through school.” – GUS

We are back from APTA-CSM 2020, & it was a blast! The courses were phenomenal, the platform presentations were fantastic, & the oncology PT community is so vibrant - it's incredible to see how much the Academy is growing & the young professional/student interest & excitement!

All residents follow that line.’   Alien? Am I an alien? That was my first encounter with being different or being labeled as something different.” “I get asked all the time by my patients, ‘Wow you speak English so well, what’s your first language?’ and I am like, English.” “I had to learn to modify my accent. I still have one but it’s not as pronounced because in school a lot of people couldn’t understand when I spoke.” “The first time I met with the Director of Rehab at that program she stopped and said while we were talking, ‘Wow, you’re more articulate then what I expected.’” “I battled with who to sit and eat lunch with every lunch time.” “We try to be as passive aggressive as possible.” “In order for our profession to grow, people have to be aware that their not dealing with colleagues who are like them, who believe the same things that they believe. They are also not going to be treating patients who believe the same thing that they believe or live the same life that they live.” “As a profession we don’t do any justice in supporting people who are not like us.” “A lot of things do not apply to African American patients that we try to encourage people to do.”   Dr. Uchenna Ossai, PT, DPT twitter “I was in a sea of white faces.” “I am used to being in white spaces. I am used to accommodating.” “The process of going through PT school where you’re the only one and then you have professors who do the oppression through denial, ‘Oh, I treat everyone the same. I don’t see color. Vagina, penis, no different.’ Trust me it’s not the same.” “If someone just got kicked out of their house because they’re transgender and live in a state that won’t protect them that pain isn’t going to go away. Evidence based medicine isn’t going to help that.” “It was so hard to finish that process when I felt that I had no one.” “There is a disease that we have called complicit.” “Me disagreeing with you is not anger.”   Sherry Teague, CFO, PTA twitter “Going to the restroom can be quite the special treat.” “I’ve been fired for who I am.” “You knew you were being looked over because you’re different.” “The patients that you meet that are LGBTQ they are at risk by simple being who they are.” “Those of you that are straight, just always assume that you don’t know. Ask the questions in a very non-binary way.”   “You could make a difference as a healthcare provider.”   Dr. Lisa VanHoose, PT, PhD twitter “As a minority, sometimes you have to massage your message a little bit because people can be sensitive.” “Those adjectives that you just gave me about slavery that’s how I feel about PT at times.” “I think holistic admission is going to be our saving grace.” “We are using the term inclusion as a way to put a Band-Aid on it.” “Sometimes we forget the stories.” “Ask questions.”   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

LIVE from the Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, Jenna Kantor, SPT guest hosts and interviews Brianne Showman Brown on hydration. Dr. Brianne Showman Brown has been a licensed physical therapist since 2006. Since that time, she has been helping active adults and athletes get back to the activities they love. As ideas and theories in rehabilitation, functional movement, and nutrition are constantly changing, she is constantly searching for the new information in order to get you back to the activities you love as quickly (but safely) as possible. In this episode, we discuss: -The physical and mental effects of not consuming enough water throughout the day -Physical therapy setting and productivity requirements and their implications on water consumption -How to fit water breaks into your day and busy patient schedule -Increased water consumption results in more bathroom visits? -And so much more!   Relying on your thirst signal for your body’s need for water is surprisingly not accurate as Brianne states, “By the time your body even tells you to drink water, you’re already passed that point of being dehydrated.”   For our body to function at the most optimal, Brianne stresses, “All of our organs need water to function.”     Being chronically dehydrated leads to poor performance because, “If you’re so dehydrated, your body is going to shut down what it has to in order to keep you alive.”   For more information on Brianne: Dr. Brianne Showman Brown has been a licensed physical therapist since 2006. Since that time, she has been helping active adults and athletes get back to the activities they love. As ideas and theories in rehabilitation, functional movement, and nutrition are constantly changing, she is constantly searching for the new information in order to get you back to the activities you love as quickly (but safely) as possible. Being a CrossFitter and runner herself, she also understands the desire to want to push through the pain, not wanting to take time off, and wanting to get back to activity as soon as possible when required to take time off. She does her best to keep you active in the things you are able to do, modifying as necessary, but not taking you completely out of the gym, off the track/field, or off the road. For more information on Jenna: Jenna Kantor (co-founder) is a bubbly and energetic girl who was born and raised in Petaluma, California. Growing up, she trained and performed ballet throughout the United States. After earning a BA in Dance and Drama at the University of California, Irvine, she worked professionally in musical theatre for 15+ years with tours, regional theatres, & overseas (www.jennakantor.com) until she found herself ready to move onto a new chapter in her life – a career in Physical Therapy. Jenna is currently in her 3rd year at Columbia University’s Physical Therapy Program.

LIVE from Combined Sections Meeting, the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast covers the professional dialogue that happens outside the conference halls driving the physical therapy profession forward. This episode features the thoughts from the following influential figures in physical therapy: Lisa Maczura, Rachel Jermann, Todd Davenport, Mike Eisenhart, Dee Kornetti, Karen Litzy, Jerry Durham, and Sean Hagey! In this episode, we discuss: -The importance of engaging patients at national conferences -Why students should seek out more networking opportunities -Humanizing patients to move the profession forward -The importance of building self-efficacy in patients -The need for stronger advocacy in physical therapy -Validating the patient’s pain experience -Engaging in professional dialogue and debate -And so much more!   Lisa believes that patient engagement needs to be integrated into national conferences. She states, “We need to create a safe zone, not just for the PTs, but for the patients to tell their stories, to feel validated.”   Professional development needs to take place outside of the classroom by engaging in professional dialogue. From Rachel’s experience, she shares, “The failing that we see right now in education is you teach your students to treat patients, you may not teach them to interact in their profession.”   Physical therapists should be taking more ownership of the impact we make on society with public health advocacy. Todd states, “If we see the people who seek our care as people, our profession moves forward.”   Physical therapy needs to be at the forefront of transforming society by building self-efficacy in patients and encouraging movement. Mike stresses, “We have the ability to change the trajectory of someone’s life.”   Home health physical therapy catches a glimpse into the impact we make on the quality of life of our patients. Dee fears the profession can often,”get stuck with an inability to define our own value.”   Developing interpersonal skills and using reflective questioning can make a bigger impact than any manual technique for chronic pain patients. For chronic pain management, Karen believes our role is “To be able to reassure, to be able to validate that you’re pain is real. I understand, now what can we do about it?”   Engaging in professional debate on controversial topics is for the ultimate benefit of our patients. Jerry proposes, “Think about what you can gain from a conversation with someone you disagree with.”   Sean challenges physical therapists to promote the profession on larger platforms. He feels you should, “Be a part of something bigger than yourself. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done, I’d encourage you to do the same.”   For more information on the guests featured on this show: Lisa Maczura Twitter Rachel Jermann Twitter Todd Davenport Twitter Mike Eisenhart Twitter Dee Kornetti Twitter Karen Litzy Twitter Jerry Durham Twitter Sean Hagey Twitter   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!
