Your pelvic floor is ready and waiting for you to break up with these habits:Power-peeing – Going to the bathroom is not a race. Forcing urine out or relieving yourself as fast as you can causes more harm than good to your pelvic floor. Hovering – This seems like a natural solution to avoid germs in public restrooms. But hovering over the toilet tenses your muscles which makes your bladder work harder than it needs to.Peeing “just in case” – Went 15 minutes ago? Maybe going once more is a good idea … or is it? Whether you're heading out for an errand or a road trip, going again “just in case” is training your bladder to go more frequently.  If you're ready to take back control of your bladder, you'll want to listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast. In Part One of our pelvic floor podcast series, you'll hear from urogynecologist Nabila Noor, MD, and rehabilitation clinical specialist Karen Snowden, PT, DPT, with Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health. How do you know if you have a pelvic floor disorder? What bathroom habits are harming your pelvic floor? How many times a day should you urinate? Can bladder training help? Which exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.Chapters:     · 0:01 - Intro     · 0:17 - About your pelvic floor     · 3:31 - When your pelvic floor changes     · 6:49 - Signs you may have a pelvic floor disorder      · 15:54 - Treatment options     · 17:45 - Bladder leaks and overactive bladder      · 20:26 - How to address overactive bladder     · 23:56 - When to stop drinking before bed     · 29:06 - Bathroom no-nos     · 34:07 - Bladder training

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Sarah Hickey, a PwC Australia International Tax Partner and the Australian tax desk leader in New York City. Doug and Sarah discuss Australia's corporate tax landscape (30% headline rate; new thin-cap at 30% of tax EBITDA with a retrospective integrity rule on related‑party debt), investment incentives, the two‑speed CFC regime and “use it or lose it” foreign tax credits, and dividend, interest, and royalty withholding. They cover the diverted profits tax (40% rate; 12‑month evidence window), Pillar Two timing, public CbCR and short‑form restructure disclosures due by end‑2025, and indirect taxes including non‑resident CGT and stamp duty. Finally, they unpack the High Court's Pepsi decision—no royalty derivation by the US, a 4–3 win on royalties and DPT—and why contract wording anchors royalty analyses. 

In this episode of the Rehab Science podcast, Dr. Tom Walters, DPT, breaks down everything you need to know about rotator cuff tears—from anatomy and injury mechanisms to decision-making around rehab versus surgical repair. Dr. Walters explains the role of the four rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) and why the supraspinatus tendon is most often affected. He also discusses the difference between partial and full-thickness tears, and how imaging findings don't always predict pain or function. Listeners will learn when rehabilitation is the preferred approach and when surgical repair may be necessary. Drawing on current research and clinical experience, Dr. Walters emphasizes the value of progressive strengthening, scapular stabilization, and load management—highlighting that most people can recover full, pain-free function without surgery. The episode concludes with practical advice for restoring shoulder strength and confidence through movement.

With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.

If you're a business owner you're probably doing (or trying to do) social media in order to get more clients. How's that going? Don't worry - we know it can be a challenge! In this week's episode hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS talked to Katie Nathan, PT, DPT, NCS owner of Move by Movement in Reno, Nevada, and NeuroBiz coach Emily Duval Ledger about Katie's recent change in her social media approach. She shifted from teaching to something more vulnerable yet professional in order to connect better with her prospective ideal clients. She shared how this shift has dramatically improved her engagement with clients, particularly those managing Parkinson's disease. The key to her success was recognizing that her personal challenges could be a powerful tool for connection. By sharing lessons learned from her own experiences, she created a more meaningful relationship with her audience. She shares how to balance this approach so it's not over-sharing and what she does to channel her best ideas. You'll learn what you can do to approach your social media with your own authentic voice and the systems you can put into place so you can show up consistently without the stress.

✅ Student loan repayments and forgiveness for professional students is changing fast—and the new 2026 rules under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are set to reshape how repayment works for graduate-level borrowers across the U.S.In this episode, financial expert James Mwombela from Student Loan Planner breaks down what the new law means for law students, pharmacy students, dental students, business school graduates, optometry students, physician assistants, nurses, medical students, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals navigating student debt.If you're in or entering a graduate or professional program, the elimination of Grad PLUS loans, new federal borrowing caps, and less generous income-driven repayment plans could directly affect your future—and your finances. This episode covers everything you need to know about the coming changes and how to prepare, strategize, and protect your financial future.

We all hear a lot about making sure we are using "evidence-based" or "evidence-informed" practice, but what exactly is that?  How can we ensure we are clearly taking the research and applying it correctly and effectively in the real world?  How do we know when to generalize and when not to?  What things within the context of the patient or therapist should be considered when we are choosing the best treatment strategies for our patients?  These are the things D.r Zach Baker and Dr. Corrie Jones chat through in this podcast episode!

Show Notes Acute care physical therapists have long known that their work is different—fast-paced, data-driven, and grounded in collaboration at the highest level of care. Now, that difference is finally being recognized. In this episode of Acute Conversations, Dr. Jennifer Ryan joins hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Daniel Young to share an inside look at the ongoing effort to establish Acute Care as a board-certified specialty through ABPTS. Jen traces the movement's roots from the early 2000s to today's evidence-rich, residency-supported landscape and explains what the next steps mean for clinicians at the bedside. From lessons learned through years of research and advocacy to the evolving role of interprofessional collaboration, this conversation highlights the depth and expertise of hospital-based PT practice. Whether you're a new grad or a seasoned clinician, this episode will leave you inspired to see acute care not just as a setting—but as a specialty built on purpose, complexity, and professional pride. Today's Guests: Jennifer Ryan PT, DPT, MS APTA Acute Care Vice president and Project Coordinator of the Petition for Specialization jennifer-ryan@northwestern.edu Guest Quotes: 10:31 “ when I hear colleagues say like, acute care is a specialty, really?  It tells me that I need to help them understand what we do.” 24:01 “…in this whole specialty assessment, in this really long survey you had to have a understanding of physiology and a pathophysiology of every body system. You have to have a keen awareness of not necessarily. Everything memorized, right? But a keen awareness of your level of awareness of those and your need to seek out more resources, or you need to confirm information you know, and then all the clinical sciences, all the laboratory values, all the imaging, all the pieces like that.” 26:14 “So now we're in the perfecting phase one phase. And so demand is one of the categories and need is one of the categories. Demand is how many PTs will. Want to sit for specialization and the turnaround time and all that…The need piece is like. Why do you need PTs to work function at this level? Is someone else taking care of it?” Rapid Responses:   Now you've lived in Chicago your whole life, but if you weren't in the city, where would you go for fun?   “Well, I live in the burbs. I work in the city. That's been 99% of my experience. I'm never gonna live more than a half a tank of gas from Mount Prospect, Illinois. That's, and where would I go for fun? I totally love being in my garden. I was picked, I picked about 40 things outta my garden, brought 'em to work today. I, yeah, fun. Fun is like where my family is. My dogs are all that kind of thing.” You know you work in acute care when… “ You know you're working at acute care when it's. No big deal to stand in the bathroom with a complete stranger. “ Links: https://specialization.apta.org/for-specialists/volunteer/specialization-academy-of-content-experts https://academy.aptaacutecare.org/

Today on Hands On, Hands Off, host Moyo Tillery sits down with Dr. Myra Meekins—PT, educator, and curriculum designer—to rethink how we teach and learn OMPT. From “practice makes perfect” to practice with purpose, Myra connects classic motor-learning models to the OPTIMAL theory (expectancies, autonomy, external focus), and shows why you must address the psychosocial to change the psychomotor.We get concrete about designing sticky learning experiences for DPT students, residents, and fellows; building safe, high-expectation lab cultures; and using feedback, simulations, and competency-based education to translate knowledge to performance. Myra also shares her path from MTI fellowship and WashU's Movement System Impairments work to leading curriculum development for a new DPT program and co-investigating a $1.6M grant bringing PT simulation into high schools.You'll learnWhy clear expectations + psychological safety accelerates skill acquisitionHow to scaffold from competence → refinement → mastery across DPT, residency, and fellowshipPractical ways to make learning “stick” for a class of 100 (and a class of 10)Using low-stakes, frequent formative assessment to steer teaching in real timeDesigning integrated, case-based curricula (and avoiding silo traps)What competency-based education and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) look like in PTMovement as the organizing principle: applying Movement System Impairments to guide exam & interventionWhy educators must adapt to the learner in front of them, not the one they used to be

In this episode, I answer the most common questions about The Doctor Coach School™ certification—especially the new Entrepreneur Track. I walk through who it's for, how it's structured, why sales is a core competency (on purpose), and exactly what it takes to graduate. If you've been coaching informally or you feel called to do more than your current clinical role allows, this will help you see the full picture so you can make a confident decision.What we cover: What DCS is: A 9-month professional certification (with up to 18 months to complete) that trains transformational, belief-led coaches.Two tracks:Entrepreneur Track (now enrolling): for clinicians who want a coaching business or to integrate coaching into an existing practice.Leadership & Organizational Change Track (“Intrapreneur”—coming 2026): for those who want to drive change inside institutions.Who it's for: Clinical doctors (MD/DO, DDS/DMD, DPT, PharmD, PsyD/PhD—clinical, etc.) who are:Already the “go-to” person for coaching/advice and want mastery,Restless to help people directly (without bureaucracy), and/orReady to be paid for their purpose with rigor and ethics.What makes DCS different:Belief first — you become your first client (self-regulation, nervous system safety, embodied belief).Sales is a core competency — you'll learn ethical, high-converting sales and must sign at least one real client during certification.End-to-end transformation — you'll coach a real human from decision to result (not just peer practice).Structure & timeline:Phase 1: Coaching Self (8 weeks) — pre-recorded lessons, weekly live skills labs, peer + mentor coaching, reflection.Phase 2: Client Acquisition — story-selling, The Bridge framework, ethical sales calls, sales-call surgery, feedback. Goal: sign a client.Phase 3: Client Transformation — coach your client through your program using DCS methodology with ongoing support.Pace: Most complete in ~9 months; you have up to 18 months to finish depending on your program length and start point.Time commitment (typical week): ~4–6 hours (1–2h modules, live skills lab + mindset coaching, 1–2h peer coaching/reflection; in Phase 3, that time often becomes coaching your client).Support you get: Weekly skills labs, dedicated mindset coaching, mentor coaching, sales call feedback/surgery, marketing feedback, and ongoing check-ins so you don't disappear when life gets lifey.Evaluation & graduation: Ongoing observations, reflections, mentor feedback, and a final recorded session with your real client scored against ICF-aligned competencies and our internal rubric.

Episode 228 NPTEFF Interview with David Friedberg, PT, DPT

In this Talk Dizzy to Me episode, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. Mike Studer, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, CSRP, CBFP, FAPTA to unpack neuroplasticity—what it is, how it works, and how to apply it in vestibular rehabilitation. We cover dual tasking, prediction error, fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement, motivational interviewing, and patient-directed dosage using the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning. Mike shares practical clinic and real-life examples (driving, grocery stores, cooking), mic-drop lines you'll quote to patients, and how to talk to insurers using objective measures.If busy visuals or movement bother you, consider listening on Apple Podcasts/Spotify.Neuroplasticity = learning. It's not just more pathways; it's stronger, faster, better-fed pathways that consolidate during sleep.Dose the meaningful. Intensity, repetitions, salience, and task specificity drive consolidation (“put a post-it on that memory”).Exposure works. Habituation/adaptation creates prediction error (“that wasn't as bad as I expected”), reinforcing change via dopamine.Fear shows up in movement. Beyond fear-avoidant behavior, watch for fear-adapted movement (reduced head turns, co-contraction, slow/over-intentional strategies).Dual tasking is two goals, not ‘think-and-move' toward one goal. Use cognitive+motor or visual+motor loads that are personally salient.Autonomy accelerates progress. Let patients choose dosage (keep, dial down, or push), using motivational interviewing and OPTIMAL theory.No expiration date. Neuroplastic change remains possible well beyond 1 year—set expectations and use objective measures to justify care.Connect with MikeEmail: mike@mikestuder.comWebsite: mikestuder.comInstagram: @MikeStuderDPTBook: The Brain That Chooses ItselfTime Stamps03:29 Neuroplasticity defined 05:21 Core principles: intensity, repetitions, salience, task specificity, sleep consolidation09:35 Zooming into vestibular rehab10:06 VR as proof of neuroplasticity; predictive processing 11:32 Habituation/adaptation as exposure-based therapy; links to pain & psychology13:32 Fear, expectations, and patient education14:28 Therapeutic alliance: precision starts with the person17:42 Treating fear: exposure-response prevention & prediction error (dopamine wins)20:05 Dosage variables + motivational interviewing + OPTIMAL theory21:27 Threat perception, amygdala, and “roadblocking” fear pathways24:13 Fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement (new concept in progress)26:11 Cognitive load, exhaustion, and dual-task intolerance29:32 Building alliance between sessions (check-ins)30:00 What dual tasking is (and isn't): two separate goals31:32 Clinic examples: cognitive+motor; visual+motor with busy backgrounds34:51 Real life: driving with kids, grocery stores, cooking; task switching vs. dual tasking38:40 Overtraining in clinic to empower life outside39:10 Progression: patient-controlled dosage (autonomy)43:27 Neuroplasticity at any age; caveats for degenerative conditions45:26 “Road crew at night” metaphor; why sleep matters47:13 The “1-year” myth; talking to insurers with objective measures49:27 Mic-drop linesHosted by:

This week's episode of the I Love Neuro podcast explored an innovative rehabilitation technology that's allowing rehab professionals to incorporate multidimensional balance training in the safest, most objective way possible right now. Host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Todd Gilbertson from MediTouch USA and Chris McElderry, PT, DPT, NCS to discuss the BalancedTutor treadmill.  Derived out of posturography technology this treadmill expands beyond assessment and actually allows clinicians to treat balance disorders to the whole spectrum of patients in a safe, effective and objective way - no jerry rigging required. As a clinician it benefits you to learn about the latest technology and equipment available, so this episode is simply to provide you with an inside peak conversation about a piece of equipment that is reducing falls and maximizing function for people with vestibular and balance disorders.   You'll learn about the functionality of the system as well as hear from Chris McElderry, a clinician who has been using it in the clinic for 5 years. He shares how the device is able to create precise, graded perturbations that help patients build confidence and improve their functional mobility. Todd Gilbertson emphasized the technology's versatility, noting that it can simulate real-world balance challenges like walking on uneven sidewalks or navigating crowded spaces. The treadmill's advanced features include 30 intensity levels of movement and the ability to create anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral perturbations.

They discuss the common and often embarrassing issue of urinary incontinence in women. Dr. Clement breaks down the different types—stress, urge, and mixed—and explains that this condition isn't just for older women; it can affect female athletes, new mothers, and even those who've had abdominal or hip surgeries. The conversation provides hope by highlighting how specialized pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) can be a highly effective treatment, offering personalized, non-invasive solutions to help women regain control and improve their quality of life.

Kevin Morris joins me to explore the deeper reasons behind burnout in physical therapy—and why staying connected to your personal values may be the key to surviving (and thriving) in this profession. Kevin opens up about his unexpected entry into PT through a high school job, the physical toll of clinical work, and why he's turned to both resistance training and civic engagement as lifelines outside the clinic. We talk about the importance of protecting your body as a PT, the value of community service, and how students can discover their “why” through simple reflection on what already brings them joy. Kevin also unpacks the financial challenges of DPT education and advocates for structural change in the cost and delivery of higher ed. If you're searching for purpose, balance, and a bit of inspiration in your career journey—this one hits all the right notes.

Are you a mentor or expected to be one in your clinic? If you're like most neuro clinicians you're taking students and your colleagues are always picking your brain about their neuro patients. This episode was inspired by a Sparky question from Jackie who asked what do I need to do in order to become a good mentor? Hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS brought on Dr. Elise Ruckert, PT, DPT, EdD, NCS to teach us how to be a great mentor. Elise, a self proclaimed “educational pedagogy nerd,” has trained mentors for many years to regional and national audiences. She illuminates the nuanced world of mentorship, emphasizing that it's far more than a one-way transfer of knowledge. Instead, mentorship is a dynamic, bi-directional relationship where both mentor and mentee contribute and learn from each other. She challenges the traditional view of mentoring as simply imparting information, instead framing it as a collaborative journey of professional growth. The discussion explores critical frameworks for effective mentoring, including Bloom's Taxonomy and Donald Schön's reflection types. These approaches help mentors ask more meaningful questions, moving beyond surface-level content to deeper levels of critical thinking and professional development. The discussion also expanded into the topic of interdisciplinary mentorship, with insights into how mentors can effectively work across different healthcare disciplines. The podcast emphasizes that mentorship extends beyond clinical skills, encompassing communication, professional development, and broader contextual understanding.

PT vs. Medical School: Lifestyle, Income, and the Business Path Few Consider In this solo episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a classic fork-in-the-road question for students and career-changers: Should you pursue physical therapy school or medical school? Drawing on a candid lunch with a former intern (and on his own early dilemma), Danny compares lifestyle, income, loans, training length, and how entrepreneurship can change the math for PTs—without sacrificing family and health. Episode Summary The question: A former intern (eligible for either path) asks: PT school or medical school (orthopedic surgery interest)? Danny's lens: He weighed the same choice years ago and chose PT—primarily for lifestyle and family. Five buckets to compare: Lifestyle, income, loans, school/residency duration, and long-term autonomy via business ownership. AI & resilience: Hands-on healthcare—surgery and PT—remains durable amid rapid tech/AI change. The PT upside: The owner path can approach surgeon-level earnings while preserving a more family-friendly schedule. The mission: PT Biz aims to add $1B in cash-based services to the profession through better models and mentorship. Key Takeaways Lifestyle matters: PT offers predictable days, weekends, and no night shifts or “PT emergencies.” Income reality: Surgeon averages are high (≈$500k mid-career), but PT owners can earn far more than staff PTs and build an asset. Debt & duration: Medical path = longer (residency + possible fellowship). PT path = shorter runway to practice and ownership. Entrepreneurship is the unlock: A cash/hybrid clinic changes the economics, decoupling income from hours. Sleep & health count: Shift work and call are tough on health and family—know what you're trading. Pick your “why”: If surgery is your calling, pursue it. If you want impact + autonomy, PT + business can be ideal. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Audit your top priorities: rank lifestyle, income potential, training time, and family. Shadow both paths for full days (clinic, OR, post-op, call schedule) before deciding. Map a PT owner timeline: 4 yrs undergrad → 3 yrs DPT → ~3 yrs clinical depth → start clinic → 3 yrs scale. Learn business early: pricing, sales, local marketing, and continuity/recurring revenue. Protect sleep as a non-negotiable while you build—long game beats short sprints. Notable Quotes “You can make surgeon-level money as a PT—but that usually happens as a business owner.” “Real wealth isn't just monetary. It's time, health, and relationships.” “If surgery is your calling, do it. If you want impact and autonomy, PT plus business is a fantastic path.” Action Items Schedule two full-day shadows: one with an ortho surgeon, one with a cash-based PT owner. Write a one-page decision memo: goals, trade-offs, non-negotiables. List three business skills to learn this quarter (e.g., local workshops, sales frameworks, continuity offers). Talk with your family about lifestyle costs—nights, weekends, call. Resources & Links PT Biz Website Free 5-Day PT Biz Challenge

"Once I started to really add fueling into the long runs...I realized how much that was helping the next run," shares Dr. Leah Avery DPT.  Leah Avery DPT was a D1 collegiate swimmer, who qualified for NCAA championships and the Olympic Trials (2008). On paper, her athletic story reads as inspiring and exciting for a young athlete. In reality, it was a pressure-filled struggle to keep up with expectations, training, and results. She was ready to be done. When she graduated and started her DPT program, she couldn't have been happier to stop swimming, and start running.  "It wasn't all rainbows from there, though," she adds.  We talk about Leah's story as an athlete, and clinician, and how she got into coaching runners after becoming a parent. From there, we dive into some training practices for runners to avoid overtraining, and REDs. Easy days, deload weeks, and more!

Noelle Fillmore, DPT, PT, Riverside Physical Therapist, joins us to discuss the basics of pelvic health, conditions that can benefit from pelvic health therapy, overcoming stigma about the topic, and dispelling common myths.

We know that you know your neuro clients have a pelvic floor… but are you doing anything to help it?? You may be surprised how many of your clients have weak, tight, spastic, or flaccid pelvic floors, and the issues arising from this may be preventing them from fully engaging in their lives. If you want to help but don't know where to start, this episode is for you! We break it down for the non-pelvic floor PT and give you the skinny on how to screen and incorporate an easy, functional progression of activities into what you're already doing with your neuro clients. Grace Weiland, PT, DPT, CAPP-PH, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, shares her expertise on an often overlooked but critical aspect of treating pelvic floor dysfunction in neurological rehabilitation. Working in a rural critical access hospital, Grace highlights the importance of pelvic floor health for all patients, not just those with specific pelvic issues. She explains that pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact quality of life, leading to social isolation and reduced participation in activities. Grace discusses how pelvic floor problems are common but not normal, emphasizing the need for healthcare providers to approach the topic professionally and sensitively. She offers practical strategies for screening and addressing pelvic floor issues, including breathing techniques, functional exercises, and subtle strengthening methods that don't require invasive interventions. The conversation reveals the interconnectedness of pelvic floor health with overall body mechanics, highlighting how exercises targeting stability, balance, and proper breathing can improve pelvic floor function. Grace will be presenting a detailed webinar on this topic during the upcoming NeuroSpark quadrimester, breaking down approaches for different neurological impairments and providing clinicians with valuable tools to support their patients' comprehensive rehabilitation. **A correction note from the episode: The pelvic floor co-activates when any of the following 4 muscles are activated: glute max, hip adductors, Transverse abdominus, obturator internus.
