In recognition of Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month this September, this episode explores the critical yet often underutilized role of exercise in the management of rheumatic diseases. We examine how structured movement—ranging from step counts to resistance training—can significantly alter the trajectory of pain, function, and overall disease progression. Our discussion offers practical strategies for helping patients integrate physical activity into their daily routines, with a focus on starting gradually and maintaining consistency. We also address the heightened cardiovascular risks associated with rheumatoid arthritis and how targeted exercise interventions can mitigate these risks. Finally, we delve into fall prevention tactics and the use of technology and interdisciplinary care teams to set achievable, patient-centered goals that physical therapists can effectively support.

Please join me as I sit down with Dr. Devin DeGreif, physical therapist, transformational coach, and author, for a beautiful conversation on: moving from grief to joy - survival to thrival her insights on losing your sense of self her philosophies on healing traumatic and chronic health conditions what she means by connecting intuitively with inner wisdom helping people live fully in joy and delight an explanation of the aura energy field journey through the heart and prisms and so much more! Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! I am your host, Teri Wellbrock. You can listen in on Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Amazon Music, and more, or directly on my website at www.teriwellbrock.com/podcasts/. You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Dr. Devin DeGreif I am a Change consultant. I am also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, intuitive healer, transformational coach and now author. After experiencing my own trauma, grief and pain, I transformed those experiences into my passion to guide others to harness their natural abilities and invoke their power to truly live. Having taken the journey from deep places of grief to resounding joy myself. I deeply revere the capacity for each person to live a delight filled life, truly embodied in their being. I am a Physical Therapist by trade and a Healer at heart. My personal life story has been one that could have made me lose all hope. All hope in life, all hope in myself and all hope of the possibility of life getting any better. When I was a kid, I broke my tailbone 3 times. As a result, as I grew up I had horrible pelvic pain, unexplained urinary leakage, constipation, pain with my bowel movements and more. I was told by my gynecologist that everything was fine and I was “normal”. This didn't feel normal to me. Over time I began to develop increasingly more back pain and knee pain. When I was 18, I had my first knee surgery then the following year a surgery on my other knee. I was better in some sense but worse off in many. The only thing that remotely helped me at the time was strength training. It felt like I had to hold my body together with my muscles in order to function. This led me to get my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science. The only options provided to me by modern medicine health care providers were more surgeries and pain medication. That did not feel right for me, so I carried on strength training. Then, to add to it all, when I was 23 years old my mom was murdered. Yes, my mom was wretchedly murdered! I know, it's a shock. It was for me. I write all about it in my book “Good Grief: The Journey from Grief to Joy” coming out late spring 2025. After that shocking experience, my health challenges not only encompassed my physical body but my spirit! I was depressed, numb, tormented and tattered. I HATED being in my body! Basically y'all, I had to take my journey into my own hands. No one else was able to truly help me. I began with Physical Therapy school becoming a Pelvic Health and Orthopedic specialist. Thankfully, after PT school I found out about visceral manipulation which is where I learned how we stuff our emotions that are unprocessed into our organs. Also, how traumatic injuries can also be transmitted into the organs. THIS was when things started to really unfold, for the better. I then also began training in craniosacral therapy and meditation.

In this timely episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, host Jerry Durham is joined by two powerhouse voices in healthcare: Angela Diaz, PT, VP of Market Development at TailorCare, and Dana Strauss, PT, DPT, a physical therapist turned health policy strategist.Recorded in the wake of CMS's monumental 2025 Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, this conversation is a masterclass in translating complex policy into actionable business strategy. Jerry, Angela, and Dana dissect the new regulations and mandatory models, moving beyond the headlines of reimbursement cuts to uncover the significant opportunities hidden within for forward-thinking physical therapy practices.They break down the new ambulatory specialty model for low back pain, the WISER model aimed at reducing wasteful spending, and the TEAM model holding hospitals accountable for 30-day post-discharge care. The discussion provides a clear roadmap for PTs to pivot from being siloed service providers to becoming indispensable, collaborative partners in a value-based care system.Key Takeaways:• Why the conversion factor is only a small piece of the reimbursement puzzle and how PTs/OTs were inadvertently grouped with specialists, leading to a potential negative impact.• How to leverage data to demonstrate your value to physicians and health systems participating in new mandatory models (like the ambulatory specialty model for low back pain), making you a sought-after partner instead of an ancillary service.• The critical difference between capitation and true value-based care, and why attaching your payment to quality outcomes is the only sustainable path forward.• A practical strategy for engaging referring physicians by focusing on their pain points and asking, "What can I do to help you be successful in this new model?"• Why the future of PT isn't about doing less but about providing the right care at the right time—including phone calls, remote monitoring, and self-care guidance—to improve outcomes and reduce the total cost of care for a population.Tune in for an empowering conversation that will change your perspective from one of uncertainty to one of opportunity, proving that by focusing on collaboration and patient outcomes, you can future-proof your practice and thrive in the new landscape of healthcare.

What does it take to heal beyond the pills, the quick fixes, and the 15-minute doctor visits? For today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, we have Cristi Cuellar, also known as “Austin's Holistic Physical Therapist,” who has spent the last 18 years transforming lives through her approach to healing. With a passion for alternative pain management, she champions conscious exercise and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, emphasizing personalized, one-on-one care that addresses the root causes of pain. In 2016, Cristi enhanced her expertise by becoming certified in dry needling, inspired by its rapid benefits in her own journey—from a high school athlete who tore her Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), to becoming a physical therapist, and ultimately launching C&C Dry Needling, her own wellness clinic in South Lamar. We talk about what makes her approach so unique, which is the 5R wellness method that helps patients reset their nervous system, repair soft tissue, and truly reclaim their health.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Dr. Todd Norwood, Senior Director of Clinical Services at Omada Health, a virtual care platform specializing in chronic disease management. With a background as a board-certified orthopedic and sports physical therapist, Todd shares his journey from traditional clinical practice to the forefront of digital health innovation—including his role in co-founding Physera, a telehealth startup later acquired by Omada.Jerry and Todd dive deep into the critical role of patient engagement in modern healthcare, exploring how technology can enhance outcomes while maintaining high-quality care. Todd breaks down key insights from his research, revealing how simple actions—like regular messaging between visits—can compound into significant improvements in patient adherence and clinical results. They also discuss the importance of data in proving value, the evolving landscape of telehealth, and why physical therapists must embrace digital tools to stay ahead.Key Takeaways:• Patient engagement drives outcomes: Each additional weekly message from a PT increases patient compliance with home exercises by 11%—and these effects multiply over time.• Early intervention matters: Starting care within 24 hours of sign-up boosts long-term engagement and success.• Tech is just a tool: The real skill lies in knowing when and how to use digital platforms to enhance—not replace—clinical expertise.• Data is non-negotiable: Accreditation and payer trust require proof of impact. PTs must measure outcomes rigorously to demonstrate their value.• The patient's core needs: Clear diagnosis, prognosis, and defined roles (patient + provider) are the foundation of trust and retention.Todd's research underscores a powerful truth: what's best for patients is best for business. Whether you're a clinician, practice owner, or healthcare innovator, this episode is packed with actionable insights to elevate care delivery in the digital age.

At Third Street Barbell, we're lucky enough to have three physical therapists as members. Jim's been working with Patrick Bell on a shoulder injury and has been very impressed with his knowledge and how he structures and communicates his rehab exercise selections. Since Patrick's clients are mainly online, we thought it would be good to chat with him about what makes a good physical therapy (and coaching) relationship. He works with Move Your Bones PT, which combines rehabilitation and performance coaching, so he's uniquely suited to address the issues of working athletes, particularly in a virtual setting. Also, Mike's back for a bit from his own gig as a traveling coach. You can find Dr. Bell on Instagram at @ptpatbell.
