Jennie Shulkin is a lawyer, co-founder and CEO of Override Health, a multi-specialty chronic pain program. She was a division one athlete in college that suffered two traumatic brain injuries. Soon after she developed a complex chronic pain syndrome affecting multiple parts of her body. As best she could, Jennie continued living her life – pushing through Harvard Law School and building a career in law. All the while, she carried the burden of the agonizing, time-consuming, expensive, and both physically and emotionally painful journey of seeking pain relief. When each medication, intervention, and various other treatments failed, the treating providers shrugged, sent her away, and often told her she was "out of options." Adding to the frustration, many of the doctors, physical therapists, and psychologists Jennie consulted treated her chronic pain no differently from acute pain and were therefore ineffective. Additionally, most had little interest in or time to communicate with other providers working with Jennie. The result was fragmented care, inconsistent messaging, and contradicting plans of action. Jennie wanted a better way. Joining forces with her father, she began creating a solution that she and others in pain needed but did not exist elsewhere: a comprehensive, team-based approach to care that is implemented by providers who really understand chronic pain. Jennie lives with pain every day. But she has learned to stop cure-seeking – to stop putting life on hold until a pill, procedure, or doctor brings about the magic fix – and has found more effective ways to interact with the pain and build a fulfilling life. That is why Jennie and her father founded Override Health. Listen and learn more about the program.

Welcome back to a NEW season of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day. This season some of our speakers are guests who will be live in-person at the EIM Align Conference this August 26-28 in Dallas, Texas. On our eleventh episode of season 3, Heidi Moyer, PT, DPT, GCS, CEEAA a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy (GCS) and a Certified Exercise Expert in Aging Adults (CEEAA) joins us! Heidi is the Program director for Evidence In Motion's Geriatric Certification Program currently. She has previous teaching experience with EIM, Illinois Physical Therapy Association, and for conferences such as National Student Conclave and Combined Sections Meeting. Heidi is an active APTA Geriatrics member, serving as a leader in multiple roles for APTA Geriatrics with the State Advocate Program and Balance and Falls Special Interest Group (BFSIG) as well as for the Illinois Physical Therapy Association, where they are the active chair of the IPTA Geriatric Special Interest Group (GeriSIG). We are so lucky to have her joining us at the Align conference this year!   Heidi's Align Session Preview: Heidi will be presenting at the conference during lab 6, “Move Well and OPTIMIZE Always,” alongside Teresa Schuemann, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS, SCS & Jennifer Stone, PT, DPT, OCS, PHC. The lab is hands-on and interactive. Its goal is to look at the maximization optimization of management and assessment and screening over of athletes across the life span. They will be looking at how you can optimize the performance of athletes across the lifespan, starting at the screening process, then assessment and management. Heidi will be talking about the importance of plyometrics in training older adults and particularly in athletes that are in a plyometrics sport. As well as looking at the senior fitness examination and how you can integrate that in your practice to give you a guidance to how to manage older adults that are athletes.   This lab will be presented twice on Friday, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once on Sunday, in the morning. Here are some of the highlights: In this episode Heidi expands on her experience working in geriatric physical therapy and becoming a geriatric certified clinical specialist. Heidi does say that you do have to be a jack of all trades because you are not just studying one body system or one joint in the body when looking at our older adults. The geriatric population can be present anywhere. She says her favorite geriatric topic to look at is health promotion and wellness and trying to get people moving long after we discharge them. She is very interested in keeping the geriatric population active and healthy. She also is interested in the topic of ageism. Whether that is self-ageism or ageism reflected from someone else.   Heidi completed her Certified Exercise Expert for Aging Adults (CEEAA) through the geriatrics academy through the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). It consists of 3-weekend intensive that included, assessment, interventions, and lastly special populations. There was then a written exam and a practical exam. The whole focus was to provide hand-on skills to be able to get access to outcome measures and get facetime with experts in the field within APTA geriatrics to learn about some of these test and measures that are not taught in entry level DPT programs. Heidi says it was a great way to get clinical skills, to see changes in management with her patients, trace progress closely and more.   Heidi says medication reconciliation is within the scope for physical therapists to perform for patients and serves as a safety net to make sure the medications are doing what they are supposed to do. Heidi works hybrid home health currently and the medication reconciliation is her least favorite part. Heidi expands on career negative habits she picked up on and has broken over the years of practicing in the clinic, the fall risk assessment and handling patient falls, using the available assessment tools and more!   Heidi's Clinical Pearl for Physical Therapist working with Pharmacist– “If you have an interest in older adults and working with the geriatric population jump on the continuing education train. While the entry level DPT curriculum is obviously good enough to get us pass the exam, it is not sufficient to be an excellent clinician when working with older adults. If geriatrics is your passion or if you are in a setting where you do not have a choice and you must see patients of Medicare age, get into some continuing education classes, and make yourself comfortable. We are dealing with human lives and livelihoods and quality of life. We do not want to take that lightly. Do not be afraid to learn more, you are going to have to if you want to work with older adults.” Helpful research and training: Geriatric Certification Introduction to Geriatric Rehabilitation Geriatric Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Exercise Prescription in Geriatric Rehab Regulatory, Legal, and Policy Issues in Geriatric Rehabilitation Geriatric Related Neurological Conditions Management of Geriatric Musculoskeletal Conditions Integumentary Conditions Certified Exercise Expert for Aging Adults – American Physical Therapy Association High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training Improves Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: The LIFTMOR Randomized Controlled Trial   Ad Info: We are excited to be back in person and back to hands-on learning for the 2022 Align Conference.

Join host Dr. Larry Benz, nationally recognized for his expertise in private practice physical therapy and occupational medicine alongside NEW co-hosts Tim Reynolds and Bryan Guzski. From Evidence In Motion, The Practice Leadership Podcast's Movers and Shakers Season will go straight to the source, asking the industry heavyweights about research, social media, what technology challenges lie ahead, their seasoned advice form the clinic floor, and where to take action in advocacy.   Larry Benz, Tim Reynolds and Bryan Guzski are joined by Dr. Adriaan Louw, PT, PhD, he is co-founder of ISPI – International Spine and Pain Institute (now EIM), Vice-President of Faculty Experience at Evidence In Motion and one of the foremost authorities, innovators and researchers in all things persistent pain.     They discuss how to get younger therapists to desire treating chronic or persistent pain and the need for better mentorship once they are managing a client with persistent pain. They highlight the importance of early exposure to pain science and the amazing things in pain science happening today like the New International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) guidelines that are now CAPD required in physical therapy schools. Now current & incoming physical therapists will have pain science incorporated from the beginning of their careers.          Adriaan discusses the algorithm of 3-3-1 they developed to teach to PT students to get them to understand pain science - The three types of pain, nociceptive, peripheral neuropathic and central pain. We examine them different, treat them different and allocate our resources to treat them different. To treat persistent pain, you need 3 things:  to think different (cognitive), movement & calming the nervous system down. Finally, knowing every case of pain is unique.       Adriaan: “There is nothing more challenging in clinical practice then to change a person's life. To change a person's life where they are going attend a wedding or go to a family reunion or lift a grandchild again, those things matter. I can probably remember a handful of people that I manipulated their neck and they felt better but I almost remember every person along the path that I changed their life. This is very meaningful work.”   Listen for more pain science insights including digital therapeutics, telehealth, VR use in clinics and more.     More Links: Larry Benz – Twitter@PhysicalTherapyTim Reynolds – Twitter -@ TimReynoldsDPTMovers & Mentors – Twitter - @MoversMentorsEvidence In Motion – Twitter- @EIMTeam  Additional Research from Hunter Hoffman, PhD - Virtual Reality  RESEARCH: A comparison of interactive immersive virtual reality and still nature pictures as distraction-based analgesia in burn wound care RESEARCH: Virtual reality hand therapy: A new tool for nonopioid analgesia for acute procedural pain, hand rehabilitation, and VR embodiment therapy for phantom limb pain Ad Info: Evidence In Motion is excited to be back in person and back to hands-on learning for the 2022 Align Conference.

Welcome back to season 2 of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day.   Our ninth episode of season 2 welcomes Dr. Bryan Guzski and Dr. Tim Reynolds who are the authors of the book Movers and Mentors. Bryan is a physical therapist who practices at the University of Rochester Orthopaedic Spine & Sports Center and recently just stepped down as the residency program director. He graduated from Ithaca College and then did a post orthopaedic residency and spice fellowship at Cayuga Medical Center. Tim is a physical therapist by trade who went to Ithaca College for his Doctorate. He then did a post orthopaedic residency and spine fellowship with Cayuga Medical Center as well. Currently he teaches anatomy and physiology at Ithaca College.    Here are some of the highlights:"This book is a compilation of stories, throughs, and advice from over 75 leaders  in the fields of physical therapy and movement science. From researchers and expert clinicians, to innovators and business owners, their answers to thought-provoking questions provide personal and professional guidance for the next generation of rehabilitation professionals."         Bryan and Tim started this book idea when they were going through residency together. They saw the same names recurring. They were also reading an interview style book called, "Tools of Titans," by Timothy Ferris and thought it would be great to have a book like that, centered around physical therapy. In 2018 they drafted a list of interviewees and a list of questions and fired off emails and one thing lead to the next and they published this past year.   Common Themes Bryan & Tim Recognized from interviewing leaders in our field for their book:  Failure The questions they asked were more human related about failure, good and bad advice and favorite interests and less focused on their interviewees treatment paradigm & focus.  "It was interesting to hear some of the big leaders in the profession discussing past failures, such as not getting into physical therapy school on the first try or failing clinicals."    Mentorship The importance of mentorship and the importance of investing in yourself. "Mentorship is an investment in yourself. If your are looking at who you want in your clinical mentorship circle, focus on who is practicing the way you want to be and how can you provide value to them so that they are able to provide value to you."  There were opinions on specializing right out of school via residency or becoming a generalist and seeing a lot of different things that several PTs they interviewed had different views on.    Tim's Clinical Pearl – “When I did my spine fellowship program it wasn't the advancement in my manual skills or treatment paradigms or pattern recognition, it was Jason Cherry who is a professor at Ithaca College who introduced me to the concepts of motivational interviewing and that has been what my clinical focus the last two or three years has hovered around, the power of words. Being mindful of the power of word choice, being able to take advantage of that placebo effect, and being able to communicate more effectively with a patient. If I had the chance to go back and talk to myself coming out of school in 2014 my response would be, it is okay that you do not have these manual skills yet. Try to work on some of these “strong” skills, communication, and the power of words.”   Bryan's Clinical Pearl – “Don't underestimate the power of momentum. If you are interested or passionate about a particular area and find yourself wanting to know more and learn more about this one thing, dive into that and lean into that. That will lead to more momentum, where you have new conversations with new people and that is where doors start to open, and you can continue to grow from there. Learn into momentum and do not underestimate the power of it."     Helpful research and training: Online: Business Management Principles for the Rehab Therapist  Online: AmaZing!

Welcome back to season 2 of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day.   Our eighth episode of season 2 welcomes Dr. Steve George who is in the department of Duke University's Orthopaedic Surgery and a member of their Clinical Research Institute. His primary charge is research where his focused has been in musculoskeletal pain conditions, cohort studies, clinical trials with low back pain and more! This week he discusses acute and chronic lower back pain as it is related to recent changes to the newest clinical practice guidelines that were recently released. Here are some of the highlights:Clinical practice guidelines are guidelines provided to assist in clinical decision making, not to take the place of clinician judgment. The new Clinical Practice Guidelines for back pain are a revision to the 2012 release focused primarily on intervention updates. Things to remind your students and learners are these are guidelines they do not necessarily override the 2012 guidelines.   “I still think there is value in structuring your decision making around things and it's great when there is a lot of evidence to support them, you just have to temper it to support them when there isn't as much evidence. I think the exercise in structuring your thinking is still super valuable especially for those people just getting started in the area. Clinicians need to understand that you have to have flexibility in decision making because nothing in their findings were clearly superior and they know that happens with back pain studies. There isn't a huge difference in results in exercise or manual therapy trials for back pain in some areas of medicine if they saw these small differences, they would wonder what we were studying but we live in small to moderate effects and that makes decision making a little bit more challenging.”    Steve shared the search Process for updating the Clinical Practice Guidelines: Process1. Research Questions  -They decided to keep the questions for the clinical practice guideline update broader because they are covering a lot of area.   2. Gathering search terms -They had the original search terms from the 2012 clinical practice guidelines and updated where needed.  -Focused on randomized trials -Only looked at studies with PEDro scores 6 or higher -Focused on trials where a PT was either delivering the treatment or they were in a PT environment.   3. First Draft -Put together and sent out for external reviews   4. Submit final version -Designed an Infographic and the summary of recommendations    Our hope is that people can use this as fuel to get an idea of what they want to do in their local health systems, in trying a new approach.   It was good to see some new themes popping up in this update like pain neuroscience education, cognitive functional therapy, and the prognostic risk stratification. A lot of this is moving away from the diagnostic model of treating back pain and moving into this management model that can be informed by prognosis.     Steve's Clinical Pearl – “I think remaining curious is so important. Asking good question and if you do not get good answers to your questions keep asking them. That is what drove me from moving from a clinical career to a research career. I was not the smartest person in the clinic. I was never voted most likely to do research, but I think when I got out and practiced, I think what bothered some of the people I worked with is just being curious and wondering why we were doing things one way. The focused curiosity. Secondly, I grew up in the non-patient centered era, but I learned so much from listening to my patients and viewing it as a bridge of my expertise with what their experiences were. Listening to your patients. Be curious not only about the patients that got better but the patients that did not.”   Helpful research and training: Management of Lumbopelvic Disorders   Management of Lower Extremity Disorders   PTA Orthopaedic Skills Weekend Intensive   Ad Info: If you want to keep learning past what you hear today, Evidence In Motion offers certifications that elevate your clinical decision making and take you to the next level of patient care and subject matter expertise.

Welcome back to season 2 of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day.   On our seventh episode of season 2, Dr. Craig Wassenger, PT, PhD, who currently works in the Tuffs University School of Medicine hybrid DPT Boston program will be telling us about the pain manual that was published by the Pain Special Interest Group within the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy that he was instrumental in producing.   Here are some of the highlights: The pain manual Craig and his colleagues produced is an expansion of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). The IASP has a curricular outline for teaching pain to physical therapists. It has a list of topics that should be included in physical therapist education. Around three years ago Craig and his colleagues led by Mark Shepherd were able to join and make something out of the IASP, the Pain Education Manual for Physical Therapist Professional Degree Programs.   “Collectively as healthcare professionals we have learned a ton about pain in the past two decades and I do not think that the content that has been included in physical therapists' education has been able to keep pace with that. As we learn more through psychology and neuroimaging particularly of the brain, we can understand more from a basic science perspective then the application of that content to clinicians treating patients daily and it really has not been done, so this is an attempt to bring those things together as well as an understanding of educators and physical therapists on that topic.”   Although the pain manual focuses on education there is a role for clinicians to take content from it. “The way that I look at it from an educator's perspective, is we had this guideline document which was the IASP outline, and it was just a list of stuff telling what you should be teaching. I think of that as if you have a recipe that being your ingredients list, but you didn't really know what to do with it. We tried to take the list of ingredients and add the recipe to it. Here are some things that you can do, here is how you put it together, here are examples of how we have put it together to try to help educators pull that information. If you are an experienced cook for that recipe, like an experienced educator you can take what we offered and then mold it to fit your specific needs, just like the way that an experienced cook would do.”   “In addition to just having an extrapolation of the checklist of content from IASP we offer and provide examples of learning activities both active and lecture for educators to incorporate into their classes. The manual is also supported by asynchronous content, so we have partnered with the APTA and the APTA learning center, so the developers of the manual put together lectures to get faculty current on all topics. The document has supported material from an asynchronous learning site so they can see how we present the details as well as opportunities and examples of assignments that could be used within class as homework for students on the educator's side of things.”   On pain Craig says, “I think the best way to do it is to have integrated pain content with an additional stand-alone course.” One of the challenges with pain both logistically within the association and from an educational perspective is that it crosses all clinical areas. The pain specialist group is housed within orthopaedics but the course is not only a orthopaedic thing, it is all clinical areas and when you don't have a focus point around it, it gets diluted across a lot of different areas. That is why I think it needs to be integrated across lots of different courses. But have a place where it is centered and have the focus time to evaluate it and study it as a student. Also provide that opportunity to our post graduate students as well, primarily talking about DPTs.”   The pain education manual is housed on the Orthopaedic Academy website.   We've also partnered with APTA, and have prerecorded lectures for educators and people that are more audio or visual learners.   In teaching about pain Craig says, “Pain science is centered around patient education. I use a scaffolded approach to that because it is one of the key things that I cover within the course and one of the main assignments I have with all the universities that I teach this course at. First step is understanding the background information, the research, the content, to substantiate what the education should be centered around, and it comes down to the psychosocial contribution to pain as well as what we understand now around the nociplastic pain and the changes in the central nervous system that are not very well understood by many healthcare providers or the public. The students watch me delivering it to a patient and we watch the interactions and break down the interaction. They then have a practice session with each other.   Our training is improving, and this is one step to try to make it better and provide resources but there are still gaps that we recognize. I'm hopeful other healthcare providers do too. There is a role for us to contribute medical, nursing, and pharmacist education and all the other healthcare providers that we and our patients interact with to try to bolster this. I'm hoping there is a shift in the criteria that we are using for our accreditation and or licensure because unless a change is forced it is hard to make people change.   Craig's Clinical Pearl: “One thing I wish I knew when I started clinical practice was that I didn't have to have all the answers. You come out of school you've spent so much time studying and learning all this content and you've had expert clinicians and educators telling you all this information and there is so much you must learn. You take your board exam, and you pass it and then you get a patient in front of you, and you don't have the clinical instructor to lean on and you may or may not have a mentor and I just felt like I had to know it all. You certainly do not know it all. You'll never know it all or have all the answers. But that is one thing to not worry about and this will tie back into the pain manual to show that there are resources available for you to help you. My strong recommendation even if it isn't a formal process is to get a mentor and learn much as you can from them. Lastly, it certainly is not all about knowledge it is a whole lot about relationships, people, trust, caring and those other things that are hard to teach but are maybe more important than all the content we talk about in PT education.” Helpful research and training: Advance Therapeutic Neuroscience Education: Focus on Function Therapeutic Neuroscience Education Pain Education Manual for Physical Therapist Professional Degree Programs  Ad Info: How many of you are thinking about or preparing to sit for your board-certification exam?

Welcome back to season 2 of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day. On our sixth episode of season 2, Dr. Trevor Lentz, PT, PhD, MHA, who is in the department of Orthopedic surgery and in the Clinical Research Institute at Duke University, discusses yellow flags and fear in physical therapy.   Currently, his primary focus is in research, first on how to improve value of care in physical therapy and health policies and secondly in yellow flag screening, understanding physiological distress and the impact it has on things like returning to sports, getting back to work and function after orthopedic injury. Here are some of the highlights: Trevor and his colleagues developed the OSPRO yellow flag assessment tool. It was developed because the need for it in the clinics with the frustration they were facing. They knew there were a lot of different psychological characters that may be important to evaluate evaluate but the problem was evaluating efficiently. The OSPRO-YF assessment tool looks like a traditional psychological assessment tool but works very different and there are a couple different versions. The assessment calculates what patients would score on 11 different psychological questionnaires. The tool improves the efficiency of screening and allows clinicians to administer these tools in an efficient way. When developing the OSPRO-YF Trevor and his colleagues looked at 11 different questionnaires (130 different questions overall) that they had patients fill out. It enabled them to have a question pool that they could pull from. It also told them information about how a patient would score on those individual questions. It was a factor analysis, identifying which items told them the most information about some of these underlying constructs. It would allow them to estimate these scores most efficiently. The OSPRO-YF is designed as a screening to identify patients that may require additional psychological work up. Trever says they do not advocate making treatment decisions based on those numbers alone. It is recommended to take the information and use it to make conversation with the patient about how they are feeling, what they are thinking about pain or their condition and that will help make decisions. “To determine what treatments to provide patients we are actively conducting research to understand how exactly to interpret this.” “I think that the fear avoidance of beliefs, I've always conceptualized as a term that would encompass the term like kinesiophobia which is a more specific term that focuses on the fear of movement. I think that there are several different types of fear patients can display, fear of pain, movement, injury. All of those I conceptualize under fear avoidance beliefs and in my clinical experience I tended to see that you could have patients that were extremely afraid of reinjury but not necessarily afraid of pain.” Trevor Lentz Clinical Pearl: “The biggest thing I could recommend is the value in looking at recovery and rehabilitation from a biopsychosocial perspective. One of the things I found helpful both on the research and clinical side, is getting to know your providers outside of physical therapy. Developing relationships with the physiologists that are working in that field and your orthopedic surgeons and others to understand how they are portraying this information to patients. How they are talking with patients about their condition and their recovery. It is helpful to hear their perspective both ways and for you as a physical therapist to be able to inform them on the types of things you are encountering within clinical practice and how you feel they could be helpful within this whole rehab process. Making sure you are really listening to the patients. That was something that people coming out of school recognized as important and understanding goals and values and beliefs, but I truly didn't recognize that until I got a little further out and started doing a lot more work around physiological distress that sometimes to get into those conversations with a patient about their physiological needs you really have to listen and dig a little bit. I think that is very important and falls within our scope of practice and something that I think we should be doing."   Helpful research and training: Therapeutic Neuroscience Education Advance Therapeutic Neuroscience Education: Focus on Function Hurt People Hurt People Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO) for Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions OrthoPT's OSPRO Scoring Tool Ad Info: How many of you are thinking about or preparing to sit for your board-certification exam?

Welcome back to season 2 of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day. On our fifth episode of season 2, Dr. Louie Puentedura, a Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Baylor University and an EIM faculty member discusses the evolution of manual therapy.  Here are some of the highlights: Louie was trained and worked as a physical therapist in Australia until 1995 when he came to the United States primarily because of problems he could see in the field of manual therapy. He now is a full-time clinical professor at Baylor University. "Recently there was an update to the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic lower back pain that recommended manual therapy and exercise. Not for manual therapy alone and not for exercise alone but for manual therapy and exercise combination." “I think that the take home message is that most patients will benefit if they are given a combination of education, manual therapy and exercise. Even patients experiencing chronic pain that you are attempting to convince that their pain is not because of a certain structure in their back, can benefit." "A lot of the research tends to suggest that manual therapy is not very effective but if you look at that research, they haven't tested or done experiments on manual therapy. They have a hard time defining what manual therapy is. Is it thrust? Joint techniques? Or is it non-thrust mobilization? Many of the researchers lump it altogether and say it is all the same." Louie looks at Clinical Prediction Rules as a guide to determine if a patient needs a thrust manipulation versus a non-thrust. He says the style of treatment nowadays is much more about empowering the patient and making sure they achieve self-efficacy and self-care. Back in the 80s that was not what was being promoted. "It was all about; you have come to me because I can fix you. I might need several visits to fix you, but we will get you there." "In that process of trying to promote a safer way of trying to manipulate the neck – I hope I've made it less scary to manipulate the neck. But I also hope that therapist who do manipulation thoracic techniques to the neck they are learning how to do it appropriately and safely." Louie Puentedura Clinical Pearl: "One of the things that has stuck with me over the years is that early on I wanted to be just like my mentors. I had people like Jeff Maitland, Robert Mckenzie, Bob Elvey and all these people to look up to and I would watch them treat people. The first few years out in clinical practice I didn't feel like I was making any progress. What I realize now that I'm much older is that the little bit of practice that I do every day, accumulates over the years. It's really only after many years that you start to feel very confident and skilled at what you do. It just takes time to practice. That is what we are supposed to do as PTs, keep learning, practicing, keep getting better. Once you stop doing that and stay where you are, you are not growing and maybe you shouldn't be in that practice anymore."   Helpful research and training: Manual Physical Therapy Certification Management of Upper Extremity Disorders Management of Lumbopelvic Disorders Management of Lower Extremity Disorders Ad Info: Since you're listening to this podcast, there's a pretty good chance you're the type of clinician who is always learning.

Mark Gallant, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, joins our hosts Paul Mintken and Kory Zimney to talk through lateral hip pain. Dr. Mark works at Onward Richmond, an out of network practice in Richmond, Virginia focused on helping athletes heal quickly and perform better. Dr. Mark is also a graduate of Evidence In Motion's Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency and the Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship. Here are some of the highlights: Alison Grimaldi's JOSPT article, "Gluteal Tendinopathy: Integrating Pathomechanics and Clinical Features in Its Management" on hip pain in 2015 is the key article that can give you a good foundation to learn more about lateral hip pain. Tissues take time to heal. Three visits is not always going give you the time to see your patients get better. The tendon is not going to heal if the patient doesn't eat proper nutrition, get proper sleep and have some sort of activity that they do. The lifestyle aspects are the best place to start. For runners suffering from, doing hip strengthening is not going to change running mechanics, so the first place to start with these active individuals is to look at their running mechanics. Mark Gallant's Clinical Pearl: Excessive data is the enemy. Doing a few tests really well, having a few manual therapy techniques you can do really well and having a few exercises that you can coach really well will be more productive than doing a mediocre job at everything.  Ad Info: Continue your learning past what you hear today, EIM offers certifications that elevate your clinical decision making and help get you to the next level of patient care and expertise.
