In this episode, Dr. Becky Farley discusses how she created a comprehensive PD-specific approach that begins with the building blocks of function called PWR!Moves®.  Learn more about PWR moves and how you can incorporate motor learning principles into your sessions to optimize movement.Becky G. Farley, PhD, MSPT, PT, Chief Scientific Officer & Founder, Parkinson Wellness Recovery | PWR! Dr. Becky Farley received a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Arizona, a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of North Carolina, and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma. During her postdoc, she co-created the LSVT® BIG therapy program and completed the initial NIH research on its' short-term benefits. She has now created a more comprehensive PD-specific approach that begins with the building blocks of function called PWR!Moves®. The deterioration of these skills leads to functional decline and interferes with all physical activity. Dr. Farley has trained over 7000 physical and occupational therapists and exercise professionals to work together on shared PD-specific functional training goals to optimize functional mobility and fitness. In 2010, she launched the PWR!Gym in Tucson, AZ – a model community facility for implementing ongoing access to cutting-edge rehabilitation, group exercise and wellness programming. Resources:https://www.exerciseforbrainchange.org/category/research-update/Parkinson Wellness Recovery | PWR! – Implementing research-based Parkinson specific exercise programs.

For those living with Parkinson's, back pain and stiffness can be some of the most frustrating symptoms of the neurological disorder. Luckily, with cutting edge physical therapy programs like LSVT BIG®, those living with Parkinson's can combat the slowing and smallness of movements associated with the disease. Samantha Schroder, DPT, a physical therapist based in Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine's Charlotte office is certified in the approach. She joins Back Talk Doc host, Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia, to discuss how the program reorganizes nerve networks in the brain to improve functioning. The program focuses on big movements, which yield significant improvements in patients committed to the regimen. Samantha explains, “[We] get them to move really big. While it might seem super exaggerated when we act it out, when [the patient] acts it out, it's essentially going to be normal movement because they're starting from a place that's smaller. Having them do things that feel really exaggerated to them is going to look normal to us, and that's one of the main parts of the program.” In addition to explaining the science behind the program, Samantha shares exercises that patients can do to improve their posture and decrease back pain, also noting the benefits of integrating diaphragmatic breathing into the routine.

Danielle currently treats private clients in Nashville, TN. In addition, she collaborates with Neuro Therapy Nashville occupational therapist, Trista McClarnon, MS, OTR/L, and peer advisor Marabeth Quin to provide Intensive Therapy sessions to stroke survivors. Danielle has a strong interest in the way mindset influences performance and has assimilated researched based concepts of the benefits of positive expectation into her practice. Marabeth came to teaching medical professionals through Expanded Practice not by way of a career path, but the path of life experience and love. In 2012, her 18-year-old daughter suffered a massive stroke, paralyzing her right side and leaving her unable to speak or understand language. As the primary caregiver, Marabeth approached her daughter's recovery with an optimistic mindset and steady belief in her healing potential, personally experiencing the impact these can have on someone's recovery. Over years of conversations with Danielle, her personal experience combined with Danielle's clinical reasoning to create new perspectives for overlooked areas of influence in stroke recovery and healing in general. She has functioned in an advisory role for other caretakers in their journey with loved ones who have experienced a stroke, as well as spoken to medical students about the importance of medical staff imparting hope to families.About the ShowProducer – Jonathan Cary Assistant Producers – Katie Schrauben & Sam MacKay Powered by Med Travelers

On this episode of Metro Talks, we feature Dr. Igor Elman, DO, of MDVIP, and Tara Murphy OTR/L, CAPS, of Metro Physical & Aquatic Therapy. Dr. Igor Elman grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and completed his undergraduate studies at Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Sciences in 2007. He then worked in the pharmaceutical consulting industry as a research associate until 2008. Dr. Elman graduated from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine with a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree in 2012. He went on to complete his Internal Medicine residency at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in 2015 with dual board certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine. He practiced as a hospitalist (internist in the hospital) at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York from 2015 until 2019 where he remains affiliated and currently still works per diem. In November 2019, he took over a personalized medicine (concierge medicine) practice in Pomona, Rockland County, New York.https://www.mdvip.com/doctors/IgorElmanDO https://www.facebook.com/igorelmando/  Metro has recently expanded our homecare team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists throughout Rockland and Westchester county.  We primarily specialize in geriatric care, and many of our therapists hold certifications in advanced training like the LSVT BIG certification for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions. Also, we’re actively building our team to include therapists that specialize in working with the pediatric population. At Metro, we are on a mission to break up the perception of home care to be only for individuals who are home-bound.  Much like personalized care, home care is about as personalized as you can get - seeing someone directly in their own home environment and being able to see what they do from day to day. If we can collaborate with clinicians to identify when an individual is just starting to show any signs of decline such as increased weakness, worsening balance, etc., then we can work within a preventative care model to maintain well-being and active participation in daily activities. In this episode, we feature one of our very own Occupational Therapists, Tara Murphy, OTR/L, CAPS. Tara attended Scranton University in Pennsylvania for her B.S and M.S in Occupational Therapy. She has eight years of experience in a variety of settings including subacute care, outpatient, and home care. She specializes in geriatric care and completed advanced training including Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), and LSVT BIG certification (specialized program for individuals with neurological conditions). Show Citations: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/this-is-the-real-reason-most-americans-file-for-bankruptcy.html https://www.mdvip.com/physicians/primary-care-model-outcomes 

On today's episode, we have a very special & importance conversation that goes beyond the current state of healthcare and what is currently taught (or not taught) in PT school classrooms. We are joined by Madison Kirkpatrick, physical therapist, certified strength & condition specialist, and LSVT BIG. She identifies with the pronouns she/her/hers and starts a powerful conversation on justice, inclusivity, and what any current or future PT can do to help patients of all walks of life. Madison began her own journey to PT wanting to actively serve others and persevered to her DPT program with a Masters, research experience and teaching background. She shares her personal experience as a white, female, cisgender member of the LGBTQ+ community, and how, despite having more privilege than other community members, still felt the disparities in healthcare that failed to make her feel safe and welcome as compared to other heterosexual patients. Madison not only started with a student organization at her school aimed to open up the perspective of students and staff to all types of people, but also start the conversation of how all healthcare professionals can be more inclusive in the healthcare field. Madison continues to educate the others (including the listeners of this podcast) on both the LGBTQ+ community and how to make others of all multi-cultural backgrounds, identities, and experiences feel included, represented, and safe.

Muscles in the face, mouth and throat that are used in speaking and swallowing are often affected. In this podcast, listen to therapists describe LSVT-BIG and LSVT-LOUD and explain how you can slow down the disease.

In this episode, the Knowbodies learn about neurological therapy and how it breaks the mold from the conventional thoughts of physical therapy. Where does neuro-therapy fit in to the rehab process and what sorts of patients can best utilize this sort of therapy?   Shownotes: Mike shares with us some stories of his unique relationships with patients that are coping with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and more.  “Community-based” therapy settings have grown into a large part of the medical management for progressive neurological conditions. These communal activities not only tackle patient impairments and goal setting head on, but also provide patients with a support system and resources for sharing their experiences that have proven to be effective for helping patient cope with the disease process. The knowbodies push the issue of how a physical therapist can act as a conduit for connecting patients with resources and compatible social networks in order to improve their experience and mental constitution. Mike is an accredited clinician of LSVT BIG, a dedicated exercise program designed to maximize the functional movement potential of patients with parkinsonian symptoms by emphasizing large and exaggerated movements in an organized protocol. This program helps to counter the common symptom progression of many patients and allows them to maintain active lifestyles and continue to enjoy physical pastimes. Because of the emerging evidence, community outreach, and increasing access to information for patients, neurological therapies are one of the fastest growing fields of healthcare. As the complex healthcare system continues to evolve with our aging population, neuro- therapy offers endless options to enhance patient care and develop creative outlets for aspiring therapists interested in combatting neurological movement disorders and becoming a part of the neuro- community! Mike's Self-Written Bio: Graduated from University of Pittsburgh in 2010 with a BS in rehab science and Certificate in Pathokinesiology. Continued On the DPT curriculum at Chatham University graduating in 2012. From undergraduate studies through PT school I worked as a rehabilitation aide in a variety of healthcare settings which is what really sparked my interests in musculoskeletal and neurological physical therapy. I began as a float physical therapist with a local outpatient company and within the company I began to see the influx of neurological patients that were not receiving neurological geared treatment. I was able to initiate community based educational sessions for the neurological population and subsequently  an opportunity arose for me to switch gears and accept a position with a local hospital-based outpatient facility. Here I was able to expand my knowledge and treatment styles with musculoskeletal and neurological clients. Over the course of the first year, I became more interested with the neurological facet and started to reach out to this population and helped initiate some great programs for individuals with neurological impairment.  Now, over 2 years later, I am seeing roughly a 60-40 neuromuscular to musculoskeletal client ratio which has been exciting and beneficial to those in the area of our facility.    Mike’s contact info: Mikefletch24@gmail.com
