Neuro rehab / neuro wellness… if you're listening to this podcast chances are anything you're doing is skilled! On today's show you're going to be inspired by Chris McElderry, PT, DPT, NCS as he shares his journey with host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS. Chris went into PT with a sports focus but quickly realized neuro was where it's at. After completing his neuro residency and working full time in outpatient he was compelled to expand. He wanted to provide inspiration and ideas to other clinicians on social media and also grow his own wellness side gig. Chris, also known as @theneuroguy_dpt founded The Neuro Guy LLC, a wellness and coaching company, in 2022. In this episode he talks about how he overcame hesitation and fear of doing neuro wellness outside of the insurance model and prioritized giving people what they needed to thrive. One of the treatment interventions he's using is blood flow restriction (BFR) training for neurological populations. Chris explains the mechanism behind BFR training, a technique that uses specialized cuffs to partially restrict blood flow during low-intensity exercises. He describes the potential benefits for patients with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, emphasizing its safety and effectiveness when properly implemented. He maintains that despite loads of research for BFR in the orthopedic population, it's just emerging in neuro, and he's ready for it to grow.   If you want to learn more about BFR in neuro, join us inside NeuroSpark when we open again Sept 16, 2025! Chris will be presenting an educational webinar on the topic inside! Learn how to join at www.joinneurospark.com Follow Chris at @theneuroguy_dpt

Wonder if your documentation is up to snuff to pass an audit? Tune into this episode where hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS interviewed Phyllis Goldstein, a speech-language pathologist with extensive experience in Medicare audits and appeals! She shares her journey from clinical work to becoming an expert in navigating the complex world of therapy documentation and reimbursement. Phyllis emphasizes the critical importance of detailed, skilled documentation using precise language that explains exactly what makes their intervention unique and necessary. The discussion explores the challenges therapists face, particularly in neurological specialties, when transitioning patients between skilled therapy and maintenance programs. Phyllis stresses the difficulty of determining when therapy becomes repetitive and no longer medically necessary, while acknowledging therapists' genuine desire to help patients maintain their functional abilities. She provides insights into the Medicare audit process, sharing her strategies for successfully appealing denied claims and her impressive 85-90% overturn rate. She also addresses the big question of are there a lot of cases of therapists going to court for charging cash for wellness services that should really be billed to Medicare as therapy?

Show Notes Ethel Frese, PT, DPT, MHS, CCS, FAPTA is one of the most respected voices in acute and cardiopulmonary physical therapy. In this episode, she shares the pearls that will energize your practice and growth—from building stronger patient connections to fostering collaboration with the healthcare team. Whether you're new to acute care or a seasoned clinician, her insights will challenge, inspire, and remind you why this work matters. Today's Guests: Ethel Frese, PT, DPT, MHS, CCS, FAPTA Professor Emeritus Saint Louis University, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Certified Clinical Specialist ethel.frese@health.slu.edu Guest Quotes: 17:46 “ the therapist who took my place in Chattanooga… she's always told students and people that I've worked with that one of the best gifts to me as a teacher is to have someone you've taught do better than the teacher.  And I have a lot of really good gifts that way. Lots of people I've seen have gone way beyond their teacher and, and that's huge to me.” 28:54 “ I think that's a value of teaching.  You have to go back and think, now, why do I do it that way?” Rapid Responses:  Name one therapist that has been influential in your career. “Oh, that's an easy one. Her name is Mary Chrisman.  She was the therapist that I went to at the hospital when the other therapist would not answer my questions. And she's a friend even to today… You know you work in acute care when…   “When you can manage. I'm gonna say acute illness, but you know, ill patients who need specialist, very specialized care.    And that you can manage the, the really sick patients and the not so sick. Yeah. And you know, you're good at vital signs and ECG and ventilators and all the machinery that you see in acute care. Yeah. So, I guess that's my answer.”

When we keep falling into sin or when we doubt what is going on in our lives, what do we usually say? Where is God? Why does He not hear me? Why did He leave me? We seemed to have things backwards maybe?Bible Verses: Psalm 103:11-12; Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 10:1-4; Ephesians 1:7-12----------------------------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsPayPal DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KC3DTP8HM7DAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WarriorWithinMinistriesStudios-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://talitha.com/pastordido⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Have you ever been curious how a naturopath approaches medicine for a person with Parkinson's? Turns out it's super comprehensive. Spoiler alert - we couldn't cover it all, but what you'll learn from Dr. Tanya Denne, ND will blow your mind! Hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS learn about Dr. Denne's journey into naturopathic medicine and her groundbreaking research on Mucuna pruriens, a botanical treatment for Parkinson's disease. Driven by a personal connection to neurological conditions through her grandmother's Alzheimer's, Dr. Denne discovered naturopathic medicine as a holistic approach to healthcare that goes beyond traditional Western medical treatments. Her research focuses on Mucuna pruriens, a subtropical plant with remarkable potential for Parkinson's patients. Unlike traditional medications, Mucuna contains high levels of levodopa and offers multiple beneficial constituents, including amino acids, glutathione, and antioxidants. Dr. Denne emphasizes that the plant isn't a cure, but can potentially slow disease progression when used correctly. The biggest challenge in using Mucuna is ensuring quality and proper dosage. Dr. Denne warns about widespread supplement adulteration, recommending patients work closely with qualified practitioners to source safe, effective products. She suggests using Mucuna as a complementary treatment to standard Parkinson's medications, particularly Sinemet, to optimize patient outcomes. One of her most compelling case studies involves a patient whose Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score dramatically improved from 27 to 8 through an integrative approach combining Mucuna, exercise, and foundational health optimization. Patients interested in learning more can visit Dr. Denne's website at Dr Denne.com for consultations and further information about integrative approaches to neurological health. www.doctordenne.com DoctorDenne@gmail.com IG @Dr.TanyaDenne

Ever dream of having a lively clinic space where all of your neuro dreams come true? In this episode Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS and Emily Duval Ledger, NeuroBiz coach dive deep into the challenging journey of finding and establishing a brick-and-mortar space for a neurological therapy and fitness business. They share candid insights about their personal experiences, emphasizing that the process is far more complex than traditional real estate hunting. The conversation highlights the importance of starting small by renting space from others, which allows entrepreneurs to test their business model and understand their specific spatial needs without significant financial risk. Both Claire and Emily describe their initial steps of teaching classes in shared spaces like gyms, physical therapy clinics, and even parks before committing to a long-term lease. Their discussion reveals the intricate negotiations involved in commercial leasing, including understanding different lease types, build-out costs, and landlord expectations. They stress the value of creativity in lease negotiations, such as reduced rent periods, longer lease terms with incremental increases, and finding landlords who genuinely want long-term tenants. The podcast also delves into the practical challenges of renovations, with Claire sharing her experience of a $70,000 build-out that transformed a dated gym space into a perfect neurological wellness center. They candidly discuss unexpected costs, the importance of doing renovations comprehensively, and the need for spaces that can accommodate specialized equipment and exercise programs.

If you're anything like us you always want to do everything possible to help your neuro patients recover and improve as much as possible. On today's show host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Rose Tilton, OTR/L, OTD about an intervention that she took straight from the research to the clinic: spinal cord stimulation with transcutaneous stimulation. After learning about its applicability in the literature Rose was eager to use it with her patients but hit some road blocks. Finally she was in touch with the authors of a study who helped her and her colleagues become trained in using transcutaneous spinal stimulation on people with spinal cord injury. The clinicians found the intervention was not only simple to do but also very effective for maximizing outcomes in upper extremity rehab, lower extremity rehab, trunk control for balance, bowel and bladder and even sexual function. In today's episode Rose breaks down exactly what you need to know in order to start using this intervention with your patients today using equipment you already have!   Gain clinical insights that will spark your curiosity to learn more in this episode. While you'll learn exactly what to do, best practice dictates that you do additional research to ensure you have competency and clearance from your clinical state practice act to perform this intervention. Rose encourages therapists to stay curious, reach out to researchers, and be proactive in exploring new interventions that could transform patient outcomes.

Show Notes What does it mean to practice “informative care” in the hospital setting—and how can rehab providers help patients undergoing cancer treatment stay strong throughout their hospitalization? In this episode, we speak with Galen Schram, PT, DPT, a board-certified clinical specialist in oncologic physical therapy and faculty member of the Acute Care PT Residency Program at NYU Langone Health. Galen shares his journey into acute care, his passion for serving hematology/oncology patients, and how he leverages interdisciplinary collaboration to support patients across phases of survivorship—including during hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS sat down with Rachel Wiley, MS, OTR/L, CDP, an innovative occupational therapist who is transforming dementia care through her Dementia Collaborative. With over a decade of experience, Rachel has dedicated her career to supporting individuals living with dementia, their families, and healthcare professionals. Rachel's journey began with a personal connection - her practice, originally named Day by Day Home Therapy, was inspired by her grandmother and aunts who lived with dementia. Recognizing the isolation in dementia care, she created the Dementia Collaborative, a membership-based community that brings together occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to share knowledge and support. After transitioning from direct clinical care to a consulting model, Rachel now focuses on family coaching, innovative research and education for healthcare professionals. She uses evidence-based approaches like the the Skills2Care framework, CARE checklist and framework, and the Green Activity Program study. The CARE checklist and framework is a tool she helped co-create that uses non-verbal cues to assess consent, protecting residents' dignity and right to human connection. She has a ton of resources for you to check out!

Our Heart is an area that the Enemy tries to attack most, and it is the one place where we create our version of God. What we fill our hearts is what comes out in every aspect of our internal and external body. This is why putting the full armor of God is vital part of our understanding them, specifically the Breastplate of Righteousness.Bible Verse(s): Proverbs 4:23-25; Psalm 139:1-5; Romans 6:12-14; Proverbs 4:10-19----------------------------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WarriorWithinPastor-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://talitha.com/pastordido⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We know our listeners are lifelong learners and there are different ways to gain clinical excellence. On today's show Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS talked to 4 occupational therapists who've completed an OT fellowship. Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, Lindsey Talcott, MOT, OTR/L, Gianna Neutts, MS, OTR/L, and Jocelynn Aguilar, MSOT, OTR/L are here to discuss their experience and provide insights about OT fellowships and specifically the one they completed. OT fellowships are intensive one-year programs that offer more than just additional training; they provide a comprehensive approach to mastering neurological rehabilitation. Fellows experience concentrated mentorship, rotate through diverse neurological settings, and develop a deep understanding of evidence-based practice that goes far beyond traditional clinical education. The key motivation for pursuing a fellowship is clear: to become an exceptional clinician who can truly make a difference in patients' lives. The panel emphasized the importance of having at least a year of clinical experience before applying, demonstrating a strong work ethic, and showing a genuine passion for neurological occupational therapy. Also discussed are what the application process is like, the factors that would make you a competitive candidate and who is not a good fit for this type of program. The programs are challenging, requiring fellows to balance full-time clinical work with additional educational commitments - do you want that? Graduates emerge with increased confidence, specialized skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning that sets them apart in their field. Listen to the conversation and see which path you prefer to lead you to clinical excellence!

Often we hear a pastor say, go and share the gospel, and so many think this means we need to preach. Let us take a moment here and understand what it all means, what is means to be a disciple and ambassador of the Gospel Message. Can we be a living example of the Gospel Message?Bible Verse(s): Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Peter 3:13-17; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21, John 17:14-16, Matthew 10:26-33----------------------------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WarriorWithinPastor-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://talitha.com/pastordido⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Wait, you mean you have to charge for your amazing services?! How scary!! The pricing conversation is a BIG one! If you've ever felt scared to ask for a dollar amount, to raise your prices or even did what most clinicians do and undercharged, this episode is for you!  Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Emily Duval Ledger, CPT dive deep into setting and raising prices for professional services. The key takeaway is clear: healthcare professionals often dramatically undervalue their expertise. Many therapists and wellness professionals struggle with pricing, frequently charging far less than their services are truly worth. The hosts shared personal experiences of initially undercharging, revealing common mistakes that plague the industry. These include basing prices on limited insurance reimbursements, feeling guilty about charging fair rates, and failing to account for the true costs of delivering high-quality professional services. Claire McLean introduced her "back and forth math" approach to pricing that considers multiple financial factors. This method involves calculating monthly income needs, factoring in taxes and business expenses, determining realistic client capacity, and carefully considering additional costs like staff, benefits, and overhead. The goal is to create a pricing structure that not only sustains the business but allows practitioners to deliver their best work. The conversation highlighted several key pricing principles that can transform a struggling practice into a thriving business. Practitioners must recognize that their energy and expertise are their most valuable assets. Charging appropriately prevents burnout and allows professionals to maintain the passion that drew them to their field. By creating clear value and communicating pricing transparently, businesses can attract clients who are truly committed to their own transformation. Learn practical strategies and insights so you and your clients will both thrive!

Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT chat with Shruti Shivaramakrishnan. Shruti lives in Ontario, Canada and her career background is in patient engagement through strategic content and fostering validating communities.
