In this podcast we revisit talking about Breathing as a Desert Island Exercise with Carrie Hall, previously a guest in episodes 48 and 50. Carrie highlights the benefits of breathing as an exercise on multiple areas of the body, and runs through some practical ways to firstly become aware of your own breathing pattern, which she gives individual cues to with her clients. She talks through one way to focus on developing your breathing awareness, including the movement of your ribcage, your breathing diaphragm and your pelvic diaphragm (pelvic floor). You can listen to the first of the previous episodes of the podcast Here. About Carrie: Carrie Hall, PT, MHS has been a physical therapist for over 40 years, graduating from St. Louis University in Missouri in 1983. Over the 4 decades as a PT, she has worn the hats of practitioner, educator, author, business owner, and advocate; and has served in numerous state and national leadership roles. Her clinical practice expertise lies in the diagnosis and treatment of movement impairment with a focus on movement pattern recognition of the shoulder, spine, hip, knee, ankle, and foot regions as taught by Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA and the faculty of Washington University in St. Louis, where she went to graduate school. She also incorporates pain science, manual therapy, motor control training, strength and aerobic fitness prescription, and the role of PT in promoting healthspan over lifespan. Carrie founded her practice, Movement Systems Physical Therapy in 1995 and sold it in 2021. In her “retirement” Carrie formed a new company, “SISU Physical Therapy and Mentoring Services” so she could continue a small clinical practice, teaching, and small business owner mentoring.

Take Home Messages: Army physical therapy has evolved substantially, moving from the role of reconstruction aides during World War I to highly integrated team members within brigade combat teams. This progression highlights the importance of adaptability and continuous professional development within military medicine. Physical therapists in the military setting play a crucial role in managing pain and supporting soldiers' recovery, especially in deployed settings where resources can be limited. Innovation and ingenuity are key to providing effective care in these challenging environments. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly important in military medicine. They enhance patient-provider interactions by streamlining administrative processes and allowing for more focused, high-quality care. Military operations like Operation Warp Speed demonstrate the unique capabilities and expertise the military can bring to public health crises, showcasing their logistical proficiency and strategic planning in accelerating vaccine development and distribution. Maintaining the 'joy and soul' in medicine is essential, especially in the face of healthcare professional burnout. Leadership at all levels must focus on creating supportive environments that minimize administrative burdens and foster a connection to the core purpose of medicine – caring for patients.

Have you ever felt like there was a disconnect between what the researchers are thinking and what you, as a clinician, are thinking? You're not the only one! The desire to bridge the gap between research and what really goes on in the clinic has been a topic of discussion for decades. We interviewed Dr. Carolee Winstein, PhD, PT, FAPTA about this very topic and what the possible solutions may be. Dr. Winstein, a pivotal figure in redirecting professional focus towards motor control, motor learning and neuroplasticity, shares her transformational journey. When working with individuals with neurologic conditions in the 1990s (“before neuro rehab was a thing,” as she laughs) she wondered, why do some people get better and some don't? Her intellectual curiosity propelled her into the sphere of motor learning and control under the tutelage of the esteemed Richard (Dick) Schmidt, PhD, an intellectual leader in motor learning and control and founder and founding editor of the Journal of Motor Behavior. Accumulating over 34,000 citations, Dr. Winstein stands as a luminary in the realm of neuro rehabilitation, boasting an unparalleled expertise in motivation, motor control, and neuroplasticity. She shares why the practice of neuro rehabilitation must be accompanied by an understanding of the behavioral literature. She provides advice and guidance for the clinician struggling to incorporate the research into practice, a warning about Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), and what types of studies you should actually pay attention to in order to implement emerging evidence. Have you ever felt like your patient population doesn't really match those studied in the research? She addresses that too and provides advice and encouragement about how to shift this disconnect.

Is the movement system really a system or is it a theory with little clinical application? Should we move beyond impairment-based paradigms as physical therapists? Are we ready to embrace a more holistic approach to rehabilitation and pain management? These are questions that Dr. Joe Tatta addresses in this episode with his guest, Andrew Guccione, PT, PhD, DPT, FAPTA, a distinguished researcher and professor and a visionary thought leader in the physical therapy space. Dr. Guccione explores ideas that challenge the traditional impairment based as well as movement-based paradigms that are common in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Join in and be prepared to receive revolutionary ideas that are going to change the way we do pain management forever!
This 16th episode of The Pain Beat highlights the work of a vibrant consortium of pain researchers working on a project known as Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS). A2CPS is focused on the identification of biomarkers to predict which patients will transition from acute to chronic pain, and which patients living with chronic pain can improve their quality of life with management (see related PRF news story). The Pain Beat invited several Primary Investigators from A2CPS to talk about the work of the consortium, and how listeners of The Pain Beat can get involved themselves! Podcast participants include: Kathleen Sluka, PT, PhD, FAPTA, A2CPS Principal Investigator; University of Iowa, USA John Burns, PhD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; Rush University Medical Center, Illinois, USA Chad Brummett, MD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; University of Michigan, USA Michael Olivier, PhD, A2CPS Principal Investigator; Wake Forest University, North Carolina, USA.

Dr. Beth Fisher, PhD, PT, FAPTA joins us on the show again to talk about something that has been the impetus of her career: movement analysis. As rehab professionals sometimes we can overcomplicate movement impairments thinking it is always due to pathology and overlook the simpler underlying cause, namely implicit choice. Do people with neurologic conditions move a certain way because they must or because they (unknowingly) choose to? How do you decide? What if you could correct dysfunctional movement patterns you thought were due to the injury with a shift in perspective? If the ultimate goal for all of us is to help our patients and clients achieve greater success, it will pay off to listen to what Dr. Fisher has to share!

Today we are thrilled to have with us Dr. Beth Fisher, PhD, PT, FAPTA, a prominent researcher in the field of physical therapy. In this episode, we explore Dr. Fisher's illustrious career and delve into her focus on research. She also shares the questions that are currently driving her research and the exciting new developments in the field. We discuss the importance of incorporating research findings into clinical practice and what clinicians need to know to make this happen. However, we only scratched the surface of Dr. Fisher's expertise, so we plan to invite her back for future episodes to dive deeper into her research areas. If you have any questions for Dr. Fisher or about her research, please send us an email at info@neurocollaborative.com. Don't forget to tune in for part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Fisher!
We had a very special guest on the show today who brought the knowledge bombs!! Mike Studer is a well known speaker and educator in neuro physical therapy and boy did he come to teach today! Always thinking of the next helpful thing for clinicians and patients, Dr. Studer shared his framework for improving how we deliver and measure cognitive training during dual tasks in order to offer a comprehensive approach. He believes cognitive training should be subdivided into holding information, processing information, generating, and recalling. He describes what each of these looks like and provides examples of how to implement them into your practice during dual task assessment and training. Dr. Studer reports testing should have a specific method, but treatment can be free and fun. He also shares how often you should do assessments vs free flowing treatment by following behavioral economics, or the study of human decision making and choice. Additionally, we get into the ways to help patients beat fear through the 4 P's: play, productivity, progress, and personalize. Get out your notebook for this one! Save it to relisten (on slow speed, lol) because you're going to get so many great takeaways that you can apply to your practice immediately.

For physical therapy to be truly effective in addressing body pain, it must not only concentrate on structure alone. Instead, it must go beyond that and also involve the entire movement system. Dr. Joe Tatta sits down with the pioneer of this very concept, Shirley A. Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA. She explains how the movement system redefines physical therapy by classifying movement impairments into diagnostic categories. Sahrmann discusses how a kinesio-pathology approach can provide a better look into a person's psychosocial factors and produce a better diagnosis. The two also discuss how to dismiss PT stereotyping of being medical cheerleaders and the right way to navigate PTA's reimbursement cuts to their practice.
Contextualizing care is the process of adopting your treatment approach to a patient specific life context. The failure to do so is called a contextual error, which often results in a care plan that is not likely to achieve its intended aim or produce a positive outcome. In this episode, Dr. Joe Tatta discusses how to contextualize care for improved outcomes with Gail Jensen, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Vice Provost for Learning and Assessment, Dean Emerita and Professor of Physical Therapy at Creighton University. She is internationally regarded as a scholarly expert in clinical practice, clinical reasoning, professional ethics, as well as into professional education within and outside of the physical therapy profession.

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 join us as guests that will be live in-person at the EIM Align Conference this August 26-28 in Dallas, Texas. On our seventh episode of season 3, Lori Michener, PT, PhD, ATC, FAPTA, joins to discuss the high-value treatment she has conducted for shoulder pain. Lori has been a professor at the University of Southern California in the Division of Biokinesiology & Physical Therapy for 7 years and is also a director at the University of Southern California Clinical Biomechanics Orthopedic and Sports Outcomes Research. At the beginning of her career, Lori trained as an athletic trainer and a physical therapist then went into college athletics and taught for six years in a typical undergraduate institution. She taught athletic training and pre-med, pre-physical therapy, and pre-occupational therapy students. She says it was a great opportunity for her to learn how to be a teacher. She then went back and got her PhD in biomechanics and orthopaedics at Hahnemann now Drexel University and taught for 15 years at Virginia Commonwealth University. Now she has been in Southern California for the last 7 years at the University of Southern California. In this episode, they focus on why she chose to focus on the shoulder for her speciality area of study. They also discuss the decision of pursuing a Ph.D. and how she came to the conclusion to do so and more! Here are some of the highlights: Lori says no matter what area you are interested in if you have questions about pursuing a Ph.D. reach out to her and she is happy to talk about it. She says it took her about 2 years to come to the decision that she wanted to get her Ph.D. The advice she gives to anyone looking to pursue their Ph.D. program is to explore a lot of different programs because they are all different. Paul asks Lori what outcome measures she thinks we should be using to measure our patients with shoulder pain? Lori lists several tests she has used and for what over the years: The Penn Shoulder Score (PPS) – a condition-specific self-report measure. It is a 100-point scale that consists of 3 subscales, including pain, satisfaction, and function The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES) which is a mixed outcome reporting measure. It has 10 questions but some of the questions can be limited depending upon the patient's abilities. Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), which is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain consists of five questions regarding the severity of an individual's pain. Functional activities are assessed with eight questions designed to measure the degree of difficulty an individual has with various activities of daily living that require upper-extremity use. The DASH outcome measure – the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire is a 30-item questionnaire that looks at the ability of a patient to perform certain upper extremity activities. The questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire that patients can rate difficulty and interference with daily life on a 5-point Likert scale. Patient Satisfaction Score– a direct question, how satisfied are you with the use of your shoulder presently? 100 is full, 0 is not satisfied. Some of these outcome measures use legacy measure, some are specific questionnaires if your legacy measure does not capture that and then some anchor patient acceptable symptom state or patient satisfaction with the use of your body part that is injured. Lori's Clinical Pearl – “I wish I would have known that connecting with the patient is more important than what you're doing with the patient. I don't think there is a magical set of exercises or manual therapy you can do, how you connect with the patient and deliver care is more important. I try to remember that when I walk in the door, I am in patient mode and the shield is up and I am present with the patient. Your behavior and how you are doing it can change how the patient responds.” Helpful research and training: University of Southern California in the Division of Biokinesiology & Physical Therapy.
