How is it that you can get golfer's elbow or tennis elbow, even if you've never golfed or picked up a racket? Elbow pain affects almost 3 million Americans, so chances are you know someone who experiences elbow pain or are someone who suffers with it yourself. Common treatment strategies like steroids, bracing, or nerve stimulation may passively address pain, but don't fix the underlying movement issue that contributed to the injury in the first place. And, like with most things, having a better understanding of the anatomy of what's actually going on will help you decide the next best step for you. So if you have forearm or elbow pain, or have noticed that your grip strength isn't what it used to be, then today's episode is for you. You'll learn: Why you don't have to play any sports to have tennis or golfer's elbow The role repetitive movement plays And how massage and building forearm strength can help get rid of pain All the links: Forearm fix video (AE Wellness YouTube) Improve Grip Strength with Hanging (AE Wellness YouTube) Forearm stretches for elbow pain (AE Wellness YouTube) Therapeutic Effects of Manual Therapy on Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomised Controlled Trial A Comparison Study of the Effects of Massage Therapy with and without Ultrasonic Therapy in Medial Epicondylitis (Indian Journal of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, 2011) 30 days to more strength + flexibility with the Mobility Mastery Toolkit Movement Mavens has the tools and strategy to support you on your path to enjoying life without pain - www.aewellness.com/mavens www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more.

Tons of questions today! I'm ready to help you think about what you can do to advance your career as an OT. https://handtherapysecrets.com/looking-for-mentorship-in-hand-therapy/ Why Hand Therapy Mentorship? Without hands-on and problem-solving skills, it's hard to advance your career in hand therapy. It can cost you money by not getting the hours/job. It can cost you the position in the setting you want. You don't feel confident about what to say to your patients. You feel uncertain that you are providing the right treatments and recommendations. You can't get the hours, or experience to sit for the exam to become a Certified Hand Therapist. See the Video here Advance Your Career in Occupational Therpayand Subscribe to my YouTube Channel

The PSAT high schoolers take in October of 11th grade has no bearing on college admissions, but that doesn't mean the test isn't worth taking or prepping for. Amy and Mike invited educator Brian Stewart to clarify if and when you should prepare for the PSAT. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Should students take the PSAT?    Do you have to take the PSAT before you can take an SAT? How do you know if you have a good chance at National Merit recognition? What can students do to prepare for the PSAT?  Can students qualify for the National Merit Scholarship without taking the PSAT? MEET OUR GUEST At the end of his first year teaching Social Studies at Dublin Jerome High School, Brian Stewart thought it would make sense to do some part-time tutoring work over the summer. After all, he had done quite well on standardized tests when he was in high school and really enjoyed coming up with creative ways to explain challenging concepts to students. Other companies charged a fortune and didn't seem to have a high-quality product. As Brian worked with more students, word spread about the quality of his tutoring services. He started to offer ACT and SAT test prep group classes, and worked with students from all over Central Ohio. In 2011, Brian left his day job to run BWS Education Consulting full time with his wife Caitlin. Applying the expertise from her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, Caitlin has ensured that our teaching materials and methods make high-quality test preparation accessible to students of all backgrounds and ability levels. In 2012, Barron's Educational Series contacted Brian about submitting samples of his writing as they conducted a national search for their next ACT book author. Brian was chosen to write Barron's ACT, and has gone on to write several ACT, SAT, and PSAT books with Barron's Educational Series. His books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. In 2014, BWS Education expanded to have associate tutors who teach not only the ACT and SAT, but tutor students in math, science, and writing. Brian and Caitlin personally interview and train every tutor on our staff to ensure they are the best in the business. BWS is a team of committed educators who relentlessly look for the best way to deliver educational enrichment to our clients, whether it's test prep, academic help, or college admission counseling. Brian previously appeared on this podcast in episode 33 to discuss the PSAT AND THE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROCESS. Brian can be reached at bwseducationconsulting.com.
