Show Notes S4E1 Burnout isn't just a buzzword — it's a lived experience for many clinicians working in hospital settings. In the Season 4 premiere of Acute Conversations, co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Danny Young are joined by Kelly Murphy, PT, DPT; Maria Tucker, PT, DPT; and Laura Cataldo, MOT, OT to unpack what burnout really looks like in acute care — and what can actually be done about it. Drawing from their published work in the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy and their experience leading a departmental burnout initiative at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the guests break down how burnout is defined, how it can be measured, and why it so often goes unrecognized until clinicians are already depleted. They explore the core components of burnout — emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment — and why acute care environments uniquely intensify each one. The conversation goes beyond awareness to action, highlighting both individual strategies and system-level interventions that can help clinicians reconnect with purpose while still navigating high-acuity, high-demand settings. From grounding techniques that work mid-shift to organizational changes that foster transparency, recognition, and trust, this episode offers a practical and hopeful framework for clinicians who want to keep showing up — without losing themselves in the process. Today's Guests: Kelly Murphy PT, DPT kamurphy0615@gmail.com Maria Tucker PT, DPT mtucker4@bidmc.harvard.edu Laura Cataldo MOT, OT lecataldoqu@gmail.com Guest Quotes: 11:14 Laura “ …in our research, it, burnout is not something that can be fixed by doing individual interventions alone. And in a setting such as a hospital, or other large organizations, you really have to focus on organizational changes as well to have an effect on burnout.” 26:21 Maria “… another like self-reflection piece is like, yeah, we’re burnt out, but also our managers and leadership and everybody, like they’re burnt out as well. … but realizing and saying, they can be burnt out and they are burnt out and we’re just experiencing a different area of burnout or a reason for burnout. But at the end of the day, we all have the same like kind of feelings.” 32:05 Kelly “ I think it just brought general awareness to how good it feels to remind our staff. Shout each other out or thank someone for their help thing. And then, gosh, I still, to this day, every day on my commute home on the train there’s one intervention that we talk about in here. Three good things. I still do that every day on the way home because I’m like, you know what? Even if this was the worst day ever and my patients. Really had a hard day all day. I can still choose three good things, even if it’s not patient care related.” Rapid Responses:  What’s your best stress relief activity on the weekends when you’re not working?  Ski and golf. Oh, we’re all answering…I like going for a walk with my dog. You know you work in acute care when… Laura “When your knee deep in bodily fluids” Maria “ When you have determined both your worst and best outcome for every single patient before you enter the room.” Kelly “ When you come down to lunch and different scrubs and you start out the day in… Or if you’re throwing away your sneakers, like it’s beyond just a bleach wipe.” Links: https://journals.lww.com/jacpt/abstract/2025/04000/assessing_and_managing_prevalence_of_burnout_in.1.aspx

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity This is a conversation many women don't realize they need until something starts to feel off. I sat down with Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic floor physical therapist known as The Vagina Whisperer, to talk about a part of women's health that quietly affects how we move, train, recover, and age. It is rarely discussed until symptoms begin to interfere with daily life. We explore the life stages when pelvic health is most vulnerable, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, athletic training, and menopause, times when women are often told to accept changes without explanation. Sara offers clarity on how the pelvic floor adapts through these transitions and how early, thoughtful support can make a real difference. This episode provides perspective, reassurance, and a path forward to better understand your body, helping you move more confidently through every stage of life. We examine how pelvic floor health shows up in daily life: - How leaking, pain, and pressure reflect coordination issues rather than personal failure - Why athletes and active women experience pelvic floor symptoms more often than expected - How breathing patterns and pressure management affect strength, stability, and comfort - What pregnancy and postpartum recovery actually demand from the pelvic floor - How menopause changes tissue health, sensation, and support - Why pelvic floor care influences longevity, mobility, and confidence as we age About Dr. Sara Reardon: Sara Reardon, PT, DPT, also known as The Vagina Whisperer, is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist and leading voice in women's pelvic health. With over a decade of clinical experience, she helps women better understand their bodies and address pelvic floor issues across pregnancy, postpartum, athletics, and midlife.

In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS discuss a major Lancet Public Health systematic review and meta-analysis on daily steps and health outcomes in adults, shared from a post by movement disorders neurologist Dr. Michael Okun. Claire explains that the study, which pooled data from multiple cohorts using device-measured steps, found the number of steps per day that is associated with substantial health benefits, including about a 47% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to less steps. This amount also demonstrated reductions in cardiovascular disease, dementia, depressive symptoms, type 2 diabetes, and falls, with some benefits even for people already living with chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease or cancer. Although 10,000 steps can still be a good target, the number revealed is both evidence-based and more realistic for many people, especially those with Parkinson's or other comorbidities that limit high-intensity exercise. We offer practical coaching strategies such as using wearables or phones to track steps, first establishing a baseline, then increasing by roughly 500–1,000 steps per day over weeks rather than rushing, and using accountability systems, step challenges, and percentage-of-goal metrics to keep motivation high and inclusive. Walking is our top exercise recommendation—accessible, adaptable, socially engaging, and powerful for long-term health and functional mobility—and we encourage clinicians to share the article with patients and help them set individualized, achievable step goals.

I haven't done a solo podcast in a while. Strength and age- resistance training - which leads me to women and strength. Resistancetraining Trump's aerobics.  Which brings me to the BBM Kettlebell methodology - something I always knew but I nowhave the biometrics to prove it. Aerobicand Anaerobic.  Almost Identical – slightly more Anaerobic than Aerobic and my boxing/kickboxing workouts are just the opposite.   The New Year is upon us. I'm not a big “New Year's Resolution” type of guy. But this past year was enlightening for many reasons. My goal is to help others to Live Better Longer. I have had the great fortune of listening to and learning from others. My studies and experiences have helpedme attain success at what I love doing most. Sharing my experiences and knowledge with others is my way of paying it forward. So, if you're interested in learning what I gained from this year, please keep listening.  We need to look at the aspects of our life- business/ financial, family/home and personal relationships, state of our fitness and health.  Intermittent fasting: daily - autophagy - 12-17 hours, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours.  Fasting stages progress from using food energy (0-4 hrs) to breaking down stored sugar(glycogen) for fuel (4-12 hrs), then burning fat (12-24+ hrs) as glucosedepletes, leading into ketosis (24+ hrs) where the liver produces ketones forenergy, with deeper benefits like cellular cleanup (autophagy) emerging after24-48+ hours, shifting your body from sugar-burning to fat-burning for fuel. Fasting Stages by Hour ●    0-4 Hours (Fed State): Your body digests food,uses glucose for immediate energy, releases insulin, and stores excess asglycogen. ●    4-12 Hours (Glycogen Depletion): Insulin drops, and yourbody starts breaking down stored glycogen (sugar) for energy. ●    12-16 Hours (Fat Burning Begins): Glycogen is low,prompting the body to release stored fat (lipolysis) for fuel, entering earlyfat-burning mode. ●    16-24 Hours (Entering Ketosis): The body significantlyramps up fat burning, producing ketones as an alternative fuel, especially forthe brain. ●    24-48+ Hours (Ketosis & Autophagy): Full ketosis isestablished, and the body burns fat exclusively; autophagy (cellular cleanup)begins to increase. ●    48-72+ Hours (Deep Fasting): Deeper benefits likeenhanced autophagy, significant growth hormone increases, and potential immunesystem regeneration may occur. Key Metabolic Shifts ●    Insulin Drops: Blood sugar levels fall, signaling the body to stop storing fatand start releasing it. ●     ●    Glycogenolysis: Breakdown of stored sugar in the liver and muscles. ●     ●    Lipolysis: Breakdown of fat into fatty acids. ●     ●    Ketogenesis: The liver converts fatty acids into ketones for energy. ●     ●    Autophagy: Cellular repair and recycling process that gets activatedduring fasting.

In this episode (watch on YouTube) we will unpack the growing number of scam and unproven "treatments" being marketed to people living with Parkinson's disease. From stem cell "miracles" to wearable patches, exotic overseas clinics, and expensive supplement stacks — we break down what's real, what's risky, and how to spot the red flags before you waste your money (or your hope).

In this week's episode, host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by OT mentor Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS to dive into one of the most essential topics in spinal cord injury rehab: bowel and bladder care. We unpack why every rehab professional (not just nursing) plays a role, how unmanaged bowel and bladder can lead to serious health issues, and practical strategies to support independence, dignity, and community reintegration. Brianna shares equipment ideas, education tips, and real-world problem-solving for both bladder and bowel programs, plus how this all connects to intimacy, relationships, and quality of life after SCI.   Resources: Follow Mason Ellis on YouTube and share with your patients!

She may have said you can wear a bag with it, but you don't always have to. Disclaimer would be to defer to urology.

Send us a textThe ache that won't sit still, the quad-dominant stride, the back that tightens after miles on trail—none of it is random. We invited Dr. Sean Rimmer, PT, DPT of Run Potential PT, to unpack how the pelvis truly drives running: three-plane motion, rotational loading, and the elastic recoil that makes a stride feel effortless. When the pelvis stops moving, hips overwork, nerves get irritated, and the system loses its spring. Sean explains how to spot the difference between hip, pelvis, and nerve-driven pain, and why a shifting, vague ache is often a neural clue rather than a muscle tear.We go deep on practical solutions you can apply today. Sean demos walking pelvic rotations and reverse steps to restore glide and rotation, and shows how a simple flow rope builds rhythm, timing, and side-to-side weight shift that mirrors efficient running mechanics. He also shares quick self-screens—pelvic side glides and marching with hands on the pelvis—to reveal blocked planes of motion. If you've been told “anterior pelvic tilt” is your problem, you'll learn why hip flexor rotation is the missing piece and how better sequencing beats endless stretching.Strength that actually transfers to performance is the final lever. Sean outlines heavy split-stance isometrics to load the glute–ham complex the way running demands—fast stabilization with tendon recoil—without crushing soreness during hard training blocks. Expect clearer cues, less quad overload, and a snappier, more resilient stride within weeks. Whether you're dealing with nerve flare-ups, stubborn hip tightness, or you just want more power and durability, this conversation gives you a blueprint: restore pelvic motion, retrain rhythm, and load what matters.If this helped, subscribe, share it with a running friend, and leave a quick review on your favorite app. Tell us which drill changed your stride first, and what body area you want us to tackle next.Follow Sean on IG - @runpotentialptContact Sean for PT - @runpotentialptCheck out Run Potential PT online - @runpotentialptFollow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod Use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Modern pain care often focuses on fixing structures, but what if the real key is changing the signal? In this episode, Garrett and Dan Neff, DPT, dive into the idea of therapeutic input and how precise neurological stimulation can reduce pain, restore function, and build trust with patients – even the ones who've already tried everything else. You'll learn about: Neurological versus mechanical models of pain Why less force can sometimes produce better results How spinal input influences pain perception The nuanced differences between manipulation, adjustment, and neuromodulation Integrating Neubie for complex cases of neurological injury and degeneration If you're a clinician, practice owner, or someone struggling with persistent pain, this conversation offers an insightful perspective on what effective treatment really looks like

We're getting techy!! On this week's episode hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS share a new tool that's changing everything at Rogue, Claire's wellness gym for people with PD. Claire confesses to using paper documentation until recently and is now entering the 21st century. What's propelling her into the "now" is a new tool she's been trying for a couple of weeks called the Plaud NotePin. It's a small, wearable, and HIPAA-compliant AI device designed for healthcare professionals that helps with documentation either in-session or via dictation after. Though we're not affiliates for Plaud (yet!), she makes a great case for how her team is using it and why she's loving it for clinicians. Driven by the universal challenge of time-consuming paperwork, Claire became inspired by other practitioners employing AI for faster documentation. Her search for an efficient, phone-free solution led to the adoption of the Plaud NotePin. While the Plaud NotePin has proven to be a major time-saver and easy to integrate into their workflow, some learning curve remains, especially regarding templates and integration with existing forms. The team is transparent about privacy, requiring client consent via an AI waiver and ensuring compliance with HIPAA standards and data security regulations. Both Erin and Claire are excited about how solutions like this can reduce administrative burdens, improve care quality, and potentially transform the future of healthcare documentation for clinicians and clients alike. The team is committed to ongoing testing, sharing updates, and exploring collaborative opportunities as AI continues to expand its role in their practice. Send us a DM on IG if you're using this or another AI tool for your documentation! @neurocollaborative  Check out the Plaud NotePin here

Show Notes  Specialization can shape a therapist's confidence, identity, and long-term trajectory — but the pathways to get there aren't always clear. In this episode of Acute Conversations, co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Nicole Neveau sit down with Dr. Leslie Ayres, Rajashree Mondkar, and Dr. Terry Schwing to explore what it really takes to pursue the Cardiovascular & Pulmonary (CCS) specialty. Together, they unpack three very different journeys: the traditional pathway, residency-based training, and fellowship experience. Leslie reflects on how a single listserv email led her to a CVP residency five years into practice. Rajashree shares what it meant to become one of the first CCS clinicians in Texas back in 1994. Terry explains how fellowship training and outcomes research shaped his voice in ICU mobility and cardiopulmonary care. Across their stories, one message stands out: there is no single “right” pathway — but there is always a spark. Listeners will hear candid reflections on mentorship, research expectations, clinical identity, and how specialization deepens bedside reasoning across acute care settings. Whether you're a student curious about your future or a clinician considering your next step, this conversation offers clarity, inspiration, and practical insight into navigating the specialization journey. Today's Guests: Leslie Ayers PT, DPT, EdD, CCS leslie.ayres@unthsc.edu Rajashree Mondkar PT, MSPT, CCS MondkarR@gmail.com Terry Schwing PT, DPT CCS Guest Quotes: 6:47  Leslie “ And that's really what inspired me was just, I was thinking, I want to know more about these patients. I wanna get better at treating these patients. I wanna be an expert at this.” 17:34 Terry “ I think specialization really gives you an opportunity to delve deep into what you're interested in and learn probably a lot more than you maybe thought you would need to know or I topics outside of maybe what your niche current interest is in. And it opens up your world as to all the different things that physical therapy is able to provide for patients.” 20:07 Rajashree “ I think they students, definitely very important because even if you're not ready to do specialization, as soon as you are out, because you need few years of experience, you need to find where you are passionate about. You can see that even if there, there are many places, maybe the residencies are not available for cardiopulmonary, but you can reach out… You can find mentoring, mentorship, you can find avenues how to get there. And people are, I think people are eager to always guide others. To get to where you are. And that's how our profession grows.” Rapid Responses:  How fast do you think you could run a hundred meters pushing a crash cart? Leslie “ So my rule for running is to finish in the upright position, but you don't have to be first. So as long as you get there cart intact, it doesn't matter how long it takes.” Rajashree “ And my goal is to get there and not that crash cart meeting for me.” Terry “ Yeah. I don't know. I feel like a lot of the crash carts sometimes have rickety wheels, so I might just be trying to get it there as well. And just not falling and tipping the whole cart with me.” You know you work in acute care when… Leslie “ when you spent 30 minutes with a patient just to go to the restroom and their question is. That's all we're doing today.” Rajashree “when you are untangling lines and wiping somebody's bumps. I did not know in PT school when I went that I'll be. “ Terry “ I guess I might say you're an acute therapist and I always think about whenever I'm watching like TV shows or something like that and I see like someone intubated or an eek g on the screen and things like that. And I'm like, I'm always like, okay, is that the appropriate rhythm or intubation like method for like for this patient at that time? And I'm always like they did okay.” Links: Vital Pathways Webinar Connect with our host and the podcast!

Barbara Loe Fisher is the President of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982. NVIC is a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system. She has researched, analyzed and publicly articulated the major issues involving the science, policy, law, ethics and politics of vaccination to become one of the world's leading non-medical, consumer advocacy experts on the subject. Since President Trump took office, a new direction has been taken as it relates to public information and vaccinations. Questions that have long been asked by organizations are now being raised by those with decision-making authority. We'll be getting into a number of issues today pertaining to mRNA vaccinations, the flu shot, the vaccination schedule for newborns and more.

This week's episode is a little different. We wanted to give you a full view inside a VestiBesties mentorship call where Christina Garrity, PT, DPT, NCS interviewed a neuro-otologist she works with in Ohio, Dr. Jimmy Prueter. Dr. Prueter was invited to the conversation to help clinicians better understand when, why and which tests people with vestibular conditions should be getting. The conversation-style interview is between Christina and Dr. Preuter, taken straight from a VestiBestie webinar so you can have exclusive access! In the discussion they outlined the challenges associated with diagnosing dizziness, noting that ENT residency programs don't always adequately prepare physicians for complex vestibular cases. Dr. Prueter stressed that while some tests—such as VNG with calorics or VEMP—can be helpful in specific scenarios, the decision to order them should be driven by whether the results would actually impact clinical management. Particularly for acute vestibular hypofunction, a strong clinical suspicion based on history and examination might mean that testing is less essential, and prompt referral to vestibular rehab can prevent unnecessary delays. They highlighted that clear documentation from therapists AND teaching physicians how to find what they need in it can provide valuable context for physicians. Plus, educating primary care doctors about early referral to vestibular therapy might streamline the diagnostic process.  Send us a DM on IG if you want to join VestiBesties! @neurocollaborative Follow Christina @vestibular_neuro_pt

The menopause transition is a critical tipping point for bone health. Bone loss accelerates rapidly in late perimenopause and continues for roughly 3 to 5 years after menopause begins–a window in which some women lose up to 20% of their total bone mass. For too long, society accepted this decline as inevitable. That fragility is our fate. That as women, our stature–and our lives and our worlds–just shrink as we age. Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, founder of Brick House Bones, is on a mission to change that. After a surprise osteopenia diagnosis of her own, she rebuilt her bone density by 3% in a single year. Now she's helping tens of thousands of women reclaim their skeletal strength, too, including those navigating uniquely challenging circumstances like cancer recovery. She shares her recipe for maintaining and building strong bones this week.Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, is on a mission to help over one million people with low bone density turn fear into action—and build the strength to do the things they love with the people they love! She's a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a certified yoga and mindfulness educator, and a BoneFit™ Trained Healthcare Professional specializing in evidence-based exercise for osteoporosis. Lisa is the founder of Brick House Bones, a global movement helping women build stronger bodies and stronger bones. She also runs her own clinic, Strong Bones Physical Therapy, just outside of Seattle, Washington. With degrees from the University of Maine, the University of Washington, and the University of South Dakota, Lisa brings together science, movement, compassion, and community to help her clients thrive at every age.ResourcesBrick House Bones with Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, hereHigh-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training Improves Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: The LIFTMOR Randomized Controlled Trial, hereStronger back muscles reduce the incidence of vertebral fractures: a prospective 10 year follow-up of postmenopausal women, hereSkeletal site-specific effects of jump training on bone mineral density in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis, hereWeighted Vests in Midlife: Hype?
