Podcasts about movement system impairment syndromes

In this episode, Dr. Shirley Sahrmann—an icon in the world of physical therapy—joins Jake and Callan for a conversation packed with wisdom, perspective, and clinical insight. At 88 years old, Shirley reflects on her decades-long career in neurology, movement science, and education, including her work on Movement System Impairment Syndromes, and how good movement is good medicine.She shares stories from treating polio patients in the 1950s to challenging outdated models in physio today, while encouraging young clinicians to ask better questions, study movement deeply, and focus on long-term functional change over temporary fixes. This episode is a masterclass in perspective from one of the most respected voices in the field.To Learn More About Shirley Sahrmann:

Welcome back to the podcasts!  This episode features Shirley Sahrmann.  Many of you likely know of Shirley from her research, teachings with Washington University in St. Louis, or her texts for Movement System Impairment Syndromes.  I wanted to speak with Shirley to gain a better perspective on her background and thoughts regarding her point of view.  I've noticed more in more in my own practice how much the neuromuscular system and create illusions of mechanical dysfunctions, so had thought that maybe Shirley could provide perspective on that.  Fortunately, Shirley corrected me on my perceptions about what Movement System Impairment Syndromes are.  I'd certainly love to speak with Shirley again about these topics, and more.  Please enjoy and let us know your thoughts!

Dr. Sahrmann, BSPT '58, MA '71, PhD '73  was the first to propose that there is a human movement system—a physiological system that produces and supports move­ment of the body. In 2000, she published a seminal textbook on the subject, Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, that was translated into seven languages. A leader in her field, she has brought distinction to Washington University's Program in Physical Therapy, ranked in the top 1 percent of physical therapy programs nationwide. As a co-chair of Our Washington: Together, We Make a Difference, the faculty and staff component of the university's Leading Together campaign, Dr. Sahrmann is focused on a big goal: to further advance the university's mission among those who know it best. She says that for the university to succeed, it must increase support for scholarships, fellowships, research, and pro­grams. Dr. Sahrmann has been investing in the School of Medicine for many years. She sponsors the annual Movement System Scholarship and several years ago estab­lished the Shirley A. Sahrmann Endowed Scholarship Fund, both in the Program in Physical Therapy. To help ensure the pro­gram's success, she recently made an estate commitment for continued support of scholarships and a lectureship in physical therapy.

This month we had the opportunity to record an hour long minute interview with Shirley Sahrmann whose commitment to our profession is truly inspirational. Shirley’s career spans over 50 years from the polio era to the current day, during which time she has focused on encouraging the profession to adopt the Movement System as our professional identity. In this interview Shirley talks about her work and how she came to focus on movement as an important part of managing patients. Shirley discuss how physical therapists and physiotherapists need to realise that they are the Movement System experts, how we should use diagnostic categories to inform treatment and strengthen our profession, and how we should become lifespan practitioners. We didn’t talk about her book but Shirley is also the author of the book ‘Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines’. So sit back and prepare to be encouraged to adopt the movement system as your professional identity…

As a strength & conditioning coach, I've received some of the best continuing education by playing around in areas that I don't belong in. Courses geared more towards physical therapists like DNS, the SFMA, and Sahrmann's courses on Movement System Impairment Syndromes have profoundly impacted how I look at coaching and movement. Joe Heiler runs a site called sportsrehabexpert.com, and his annual teleseminar is one of the best resources around for dense and detailed information on the best practices in strength & conditioning and rehab.

“Physical Therapists are the best suited clinicians to assess and treat the movement system” says Washington University (School of Medicine in St. Louis) Department of Physical Therapy Professor Shirley Sahrmann. Physical therapist and Assistant Professor, Dr Sylvia Czuppon (@czuppons), asks the questions.
