We speak with many clinicians and healthcare professionals on FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, but we always love the opportunity to talk with a FOX patient. What's it like to work with a FOX clinician? How was their experience with FOX? Today, we are lucky enough to chat with Catherine Duff, who has been working with FOX Virtual Care Specialist, Jenny Rothman, PT, DPT, via Telehealth.

After we got in contact with Catherine, per her promise, she was game for interviewing on our podcast, which you can listen to right now!

On this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we welcome FOX's Morgan Lewis, MOT, ORT/L, to talk about her decision of getting an LSVT BIG certification—which is an intensive program that trains OTs and PTs how to treat people with Parkinson's disease and other conditions. Morgan wanted to do more for her patients with Parkinson's and thought taking the LSVT BIG course was a great place to start. Morgan describes the ins and outs of taking the course, the different options available, and the prep work involved. She then explains how to communicate to patients and their families the benefits of performing an LSVT BIG regimen within a plan of care.

This week on FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast we welcome Executive Director of APTQI (Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation) Nikesh Patel, PT, DPT and political lobbyist, Consultant to Liberty Partners Group, and a member of the team representing APTQI, Eric Berger. Nick and Eric discuss a topic that has been particularly damaging to both older adults and our healthcare profession—the continued cuts to Medicare, which have happened over the last five years. Nick and Eric discuss the most crucial ways clinicians, patients, and family members can advocate for themselves, ensuring that older adults receive the care they need and clinicians can provide it. They also talk about their work on the SAFE Act, which, if passed by Congress, would give all Medicare beneficiaries

On our Season 8 premiere of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we chatted with FOX's Danielle Cicala, MS, OTR/L, who talked about transitioning from Pediatrics to Geriatrics. As you will soon discover, Danielle goes into each treatment session with the goal of providing the best occupational therapy possible—regardless of her patient's age. Her positive personality—which has been on display across FOX's social media channels—translates to any age, although Danielle does admit she likes working with older adults because of the knowledge and wisdom she receives from them daily. She looks at therapy sessions as a partnership, with both parties walking away with something beneficial.
