Are you living in a state of constant "fight or flight"? For many, chronic pain, headaches, and burnout aren't just physical injuries—they are signs of a nervous system that has forgotten how to feel safe. In this episode of the Will Power Podcast, we sit down with Beth Winkler, a Physical Therapist with 30 years of experience and a private practice owner, who shares her personal journey from 12 years of chronic pain to total recovery through brain retraining.Beth breaks down the emerging science of neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation, explaining why we can't "think" our way out of trauma and why "microdosing safety" is the key to lasting health. Whether you are a leader looking to show up stronger for your clients or someone battling persistent symptoms, this conversation offers a roadmap to getting back in the driver's seat of your own healing.Key Takeaways:The "Stress Bucket" Theory: Understand how physical injuries, overdue bills, and past traumas all fill the same neurological bucket, eventually leading to symptoms like back pain or panic attacks.Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Healing: Why talking about trauma isn't enough; we must use the body as a "translator" to communicate safety to the brain's fear center.Neuroplasticity – The Science of Hope: If the brain can learn a pain pattern, it can unlearn it. Beth shares the fascinating "Reverse Bicycle" analogy to explain how neural pathways work.Microdosing Safety: Why 5 minutes of regulation 3–5 times a day is more effective than an hour-long session once a week.The Power of Processing: What "feeling your emotions" actually looks like in practice and how it dissipates physical symptoms in 60–90 seconds.Resources Mentioned:Book: The Way Out by Alan GordonBook: The Way to Integrity by Martha BeckResearch: Dr. John Sarno's work on Mind-Body ConnectionPodcast: Bialik Breakdown (Mayim Bialik)Podcast: The School of Greatness (Lewis Howes)Connect with Beth Winkler:Website: Magnolia Physical TherapyYouTube: Search "Beth Winkler" for educational tools and guided meditations.Send us a textVirtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.Learn how a Virtual Rockstar can help scale your physical therapy practice.Subscribe here to our completely free Stress-Free PT Newsletter for your weekly dose of joy.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy discusses the critical issue of falls among the elderly with Nikesh Patel, PT, a physical therapist and executive director of the Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation. They explore alarming statistics on falls, the need for proactive prevention strategies, and the SAFE Act, which aims to address fall risks and improve the quality of life for older adults. The conversation emphasizes the importance of advocacy and the role of physical therapists in preventing falls and promoting independence in aging individuals.   Takeaways        Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in people over 65. ·      Many falls are preventable, and physical therapists play a key role in prevention. ·      The healthcare system is often reactive rather than proactive regarding fall prevention. ·      The SAFE Act aims to provide fall risk assessments through physical therapy. ·      Therapists are underpaid and need to advocate for better compensation. ·      The SAFE Act could be the first legislation to include therapists in preventive care under Medicare. ·      Advocacy for the SAFE Act requires storytelling and personal experiences. ·      The economic impact of falls extends beyond healthcare costs to workforce participation. ·      Aging does not mean losing independence; proactive measures can help maintain it. ·      The importance of persistence in advocacy efforts for healthcare legislation.   Chapters 00:00 Understanding the Fall Crisis in America ·      09:59 Proactive Approaches to Fall Prevention ·      20:10 The SAFE Act: A Legislative Solution ·      29:56 Advocacy and the Role of Physical Therapists ·        More About Nick: Working at the intersection of clinical care, public policy, and prevention.

You may be ligament lax; that doesn't mean you're abnormal.” Eric Krohn, D.O., Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon and Codi Grable, PT, CLT, Physical Therapist, both of Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital in Rapid City join interim host Leslie Hopton to inform you about ligament laxity.Also known as hypermobility (and not to be confused with flexibility) ligament laxity can be genetic. Dr. Krohn and Codi outline techniques for testing ligament laxity, such as Beighton score, and signs that you may be suffering from it, including pain and recurrent injuries. Hypermobility can be related to bony deformity and so it's important to know when to seek intervention and what possible treatments exist. Both members of the Hip Preservation Institute, Dr. Krohn and Codi detail how they collaborate to treat hypermobility and how “pehab” — or physical therapy before surgical procedures — helps optimize the results and ease fears a patient may have about recovery.

"I thought I understood healthcare—until I had cancer." Beth Ratliff had spent her entire career in healthcare operations. She'd built multi-site clinical systems, led digital transformations, and risen from physical therapist to C-suite executive. But when she was diagnosed with colon cancer, she discovered something that would fundamentally change how she leads. And it had nothing to do with clinical protocols or operational efficiency. Today, as Chief Operating Officer of Premise Health, Beth has built a reputation in Nashville's male-dominated healthcare executive world for an approach that shouldn't work, but does. She talks openly about being in recovery for 30 years. She shares her cancer journey in board meetings. And somehow, this vulnerability hasn't weakened her position; it's made her one of the most influential operators in the industry. There's something Beth figured out early in her career that most leaders miss: the moment when you realize you're not the best clinician in the room is exactly when you're ready to lead. What she learned on a Toyota manufacturing floor as a young physical therapist became the foundation for a leadership philosophy that combines systems thinking with something that can't be taught in business school but can be learned through lived experience. In this conversation, Beth reveals how she's navigated being consistently underestimated, why she applied for jobs she wasn't qualified for, and what changed in those terrifying moments coordinating her own cancer care that transformed her entire approach to building healthcare organizations. This isn't inspiration about overcoming adversity. It's a masterclass in strategic authenticity from someone who's figured out how to use her platform without making it about herself. Key Takeaways: How to turn being underestimated into your competitive advantage in male-dominated executive spaces The career strategy Beth used to land leadership roles she wasn't "technically qualified" for—and why more women need to do the same What Beth learned on Toyota's factory floor that transformed how she thinks about healthcare leadership Beth's framework for sharing deeply personal experiences without making it about yourself—and why this matters for organizational impact Why patient care technology keeps failing—and the missing ingredient that actually changes outcomes The unconventional way Beth built her advisory board using both real executives and AI-powered mentors How Beth gets her entire organization aligned when everyone claims competing priorities are equally important The critical difference between mentors and sponsors—and how to cultivate both strategically About the Guest: Beth Ratliff is Chief Operating Officer at Premise Health, where she oversees clinical operations, technology integration, and business processes for a nationwide healthcare organization serving employer clients. She started her career as a physical therapist on Toyota's manufacturing floor, where she learned the process improvement discipline that would eventually take her to the C-suite. Beth is a Nashville Health Care Council Fellow, a colon cancer survivor, and has been openly in recovery for 30 years—leading Premise Health to become certified as a recovery-friendly workplace where personal challenges become professional superpowers.

Has physical intimacy in your relationship started to feel like a source of anxiety rather than connection? You are not alone. In this episode of the Communicate and Connect Podcast, I'm joined by physical therapist Eve Hall to discuss a topic that many couples struggle with in silence: Erectile Dysfunction (ED). We often see a pattern where a physical struggle leads to emotional withdrawal. One partner feels shame, the other feels rejected, and suddenly, a "blockage" in the body becomes a blockage in the relationship cycle. Today, we're slowing down and getting curious about the physical, emotional, and relational sides of sexual health.

Why does the body hold on, even after great treatment?In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I sit down with Dr. Satya Sardonicus for a wide-ranging conversation about nervous system regulation, fascia, and the body's innate intelligence. We unpack why many clients stay stuck in survival mode, how dural and fascial tension influence the central nervous system, and why true healing requires more than just the right technique.In this episode, you'll hear:How the autonomic nervous system shapes pain, movement, and perceptionWhy overtreating tissues can reinforce protective patternsWhat “capacity” means in treatment—and how to recognize it in real timeHow clinicians can reduce burnout by shifting their role in the healing processThis episode is less about fixing and more about creating the conditions that allow the body to reorganize itself. If you're a clinician who senses there's more happening beneath the surface of pain and movement patterns, this conversation will help you see regulation, resilience, and recovery through a more integrated lens.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Get Dr. Sardonicus' FREE NeuroFascial Flow Method Foundational Paradigm here!Sign up for Dr. Sardonicus' webinar: From Fixating To Facilitating: Reorienting clinical care around capacity, coherence, and integrationConnect with Dr. Sardonicus on InstagramCheck out everything Dr. Sardonicus has to offer on her websiteLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

The risk of falling is very prevalent in patients having this difficulty, with dizziness and headaches adding to their issues, Zoë explains the types of degeneration that is commonly seen. She describes the muscles involved in this movement and the importance of overall coordination, strength, endurance and balance. Zoë also shares what treatment would look like for patients having trouble in any of these movements and how we can help them at Oxford PT.Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Scott Capozza, PT, MSPT, is a board-certified physical therapist who specializes in oncology at Yale Cancer Center.More than 20 years ago, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer while in graduate school at age 22. As he explained in an article about his cancer journey, “Suddenly I had to schedule an orchiectomy, a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and two cycles of chemotherapy around lectures, laboratory work, and practical exams.”Scott shares his experiences with testicular cancer then and now, along with what he's doing to support cancer patients and survivors through physical therapy.  Patient advocacy: Recently, as a patient advocate and testicular cancer survivor, Scott has spoken at conferences to share his lived experiences. He explains this role in the podcast."It almost is our responsibility or our obligation to get in front of these medical providers to say, you have to listen to your patients. You have to make these shared decisions with your patient. You can't blindly take the shotgun approach, give the treatment, and be done with it. You have to factor in quality of life. You have to factor in who that person is..."Hear more from Scott Capozza about his work as an oncology-focused physical therapist, father, patient advocate, and testicular cancer survivor in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.  Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

We first met physical therapist Lisa Lowe in fall 2020 when she applied for and received one of our changemaker scholarships that allowed her to attend a US rowing conference. We checked in with her a year and a half later for a season three episode to talk about Lisa's experience with rehab following a car accident. Today, Lisa is a sought after rowing specialist physical therapist near Boston, and guest author for Science of Rowing. She recently created a course called Keys to Working with Rowers, which is designed to help athletic trainers, strength coaches, physical therapists, and other rehabilitation professionals gain a background knowledge of rowing so that they can be confident in their support of rowers. In this chat with Lisa, we'll talk high school growing pains, collegiate over training, grumpy ribs and twingy backs, knowing when to take a break, and the importance of having a care team that understands the fundamental movement patterns of the sport you love.

In today's episode, personal trainer and future pelvic floor physical therapist Röbynn Europe demystifies all things pelvic floor health: what it is, why it matters, and how to get help when needed. Röbynn breaks down the “core as a box” (diaphragm, abs, back, pelvic floor), explains Kegels beyond the basics (the dreaded/loved “elevator” holds), and shares signs something needs attention: from incontinence to painful sex, low-back/groin pain, and post-birth changes (including after C-sections). We also dig into why men, too, should train their pelvic floors (especially lifters), and how much knowledge and representation are power when it comes to pelvic health. In this episode, we discussed:The “core as a box” model and why pelvic floor strength anchors itKegels, including progressive “elevator” reps and timed holdsRed flags to look out for: different types of incontinence, incomplete emptying, painful sex, pelvic/low-back painPostpartum & the value of pelvic floor therapy even after a C-sectionThe importance of pelvic health for menThe value of representation and knowledge in improving Black health outcomes through pelvic floor care

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!The fastest way to raise your rates isn't a new logo or a shiny app. It's raising your standard. We sit down with Dr. David Skolnik, a physical therapist who teaches trainers, to unpack why the floor of fitness education is so low—and the exact skills that move you from “gig job” to trusted professional with a full roster.We start with movement assessment that actually maps to training. Instead of relying on narrow screens, we break down how to evaluate squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, and locomotion in real time, under load, and with constraints that reveal what matters. Then we tackle pain without panic. Using a simple green–yellow–red framework, we show how to keep training productive during flare-ups, preserve capacity after surgery, and build client confidence by finding what can be trained today.The game-changer is collaboration with physical therapists. You'll hear how to speak the same language, what quality PT care looks like on the floor, and how to lead with reciprocity to spark a steady referral loop. We share examples of co-treating that maintain aerobic fitness, train the non-injured side, and support faster returns to full strength. Along the way, we draw a clear line between coaches who coach and influencers who post, and why hands-on practice still beats shortcuts when you want consistent results.If you're in Arizona, Dr. Skolnik outlines a new eight-week, in-person program in Mesa designed for working coaches who want to master assessment, pain navigation, and advanced programming. Prefer to start today? Audit your client assessments, define your pain rules, and book a coffee with a PT who loads patients on the floor.If this helped you see the path from $15 to $150 an hour, tap follow, share with a coach who needs it, and leave a quick review.
