First, Taco Tuesday has officially become a lifestyle. Every week I look forward to grabbing the La Torta Loco taco special, and honestly it has become a little weekly anchor for me. It even helps me avoid unnecessary restaurant runs the rest of the week because I know the tacos are coming.The other piece of my current reality is dealing with my ankles. I'm recovering from pretty severe internal bruising on one side and increasing discomfort on the other. That means MRIs, physical therapy, and a structured daily routine of stretches that are basically workouts themselves. The sessions range from twenty to thirty minutes depending on which set I do, and they're hitting the exact areas that need support. The real challenge is staying calm, not rushing, and keeping perspective while managing all this with cerebral palsy in the background.So today's mix is tacos and CP. I'd love to hear about your favorite food specials, whether it's Taco Tuesday or something else. If you have a spot I should know about, let me know. Heather and I love to check out local food whenever we're traveling, so send your recommendations.Thank you as always for listening. I'll talk to you again real soon.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

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.   

On this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For The Business, Jerry dives deep into the critical, often complex world of billing compliance with industry expert Rick Gawenda, PT.Rick, the founder and president of Gawenda Seminars & Consulting, breaks down the high-impact proposals from CMS for the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule. They move beyond the headlines to provide a practical, actionable guide for clinic owners and therapists, with a special focus on the new Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) codes and how to leverage them for both improved patient outcomes and practice growth.This is a must-listen for any practice looking to stay ahead of the curve, ensure compliance, and understand how to successfully implement innovative care models like RTM.

Physical therapists work to undo damage, educate on healthy behavior and to restore lost or damaged functionality. The World Confederation for Physical Therapy was created on this date 70 years ago. Going back in time, the first documented account of physical therapy comes from Hippocrates, the old master of medicine. Hippocrates originated the concept of manual manipulation for pain treatment in 460 B.C. Until World War II, the majority of physical therapy was performed in hospitals on patients suffering from surgery, injuries, or other ailments. During the war, specialty physical therapy clinics were established to treat the thousands of wounded soldiers. Today the use of electric stimulation and ultrasound has been found to help speed up recovery.

In this solo episode, Dr. Tom Walters breaks down thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)—a condition caused by compression of the nerves and blood vessels as they pass from the neck into the arm. He begins with an introduction to the condition and explains the difference between neurogenic and vascular TOS, highlighting key symptoms that require urgent medical referral. Dr. Walters then discusses how to differentiate TOS from cervical radiculopathy, a common source of confusion in clinical practice, focusing on symptom distribution, aggravating positions, and relevant clinical tests. Finally, he outlines the most effective physical therapy interventions for neurogenic TOS, including postural retraining, mobility work, scapular strengthening, breathing strategies, and activity modification. This episode is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about the anatomy, diagnosis, and rehab management of TOS, from clinicians to patients dealing with upper extremity pain and dysfunction.

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.

My guest in today's episode #69 of The Nourishment Mindset podcast is the wonderful Dr. Anthony Daffner-Milos, a wonderfully compassionate, fabulously educated, humble, gentle and talented Doctor of Physical Therapy. (I know this as I'm a patient and have recommended him to plenty of people!) Dr. Anthony is the owner of ADM, a concierge PT practice with mobile service for local patients in Collier County, Florida and telehealth for those located elsewhere.We discuss how he discovered his calling into the profession, his love of learning and resulting numerous certifications — if the man were a master of languages he'd speak about 50! As well as his specialized and comprehensive training in The McKenzie Method, a modality that has helped me and my husband tremendously. We also get into common mistakes he sees people making and his recommendations for overcoming them. Tune in to learn about what to look for in a PT or potentially find a match in a healer. Please note I mispronounced his last name: it's MI-los, not Mee-los as I incorrectly said. Apologies!FINE READ-Seed Oil Scout is a great app and site that helps us avoid what Dr. Cate Shanahan refers to as The Hateful Eight, inflammatory seed and vegetable oils like soybean, canola, etc. I subscribe to their newsletter and learned a lot about the potential toxins hidden in our spice racks in their recent newsletter. It describes the two harmful substances used to sterilize spices — one of which is banned in Europe, and why you should think twice before buying a spice. The good news is that when you buy organic, you avoid these sterilizers. Check out the short article and let me know what you think!FINE FIND-Sometimes we need to take some time to rest and recharge during the day. This fine find, 20 Minute Power Nap by Paradigm Yoga is a 20 minute video that has saved me many times after a rough night of sleep or travel jet lag. The narrators voice is so soothing and in 20 minutes I come to feeling so much better.FINE RECIPE-Today's “recipe” is more of a welcome board or appetizer for entertaining (or full meal!). You can make in smaller quantities or decrease the selection for small groups. This newsletter photo shows our family's selection while in our shared home in Provence, France this summer. Chef Fletch is rightfully feeling extremely proud: notice the pestle sticking straight up in the green mortar? It's the first time he has ever made perfect garlic aioli, and aioli is a serious affair! We're so proud of our little foodie.From left to right, you'll see his aioli (email me for the recipe!), a delightful and simple heirloom tomato salad (seeds removed) drizzled with EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and balsamic glaze then topped with fresh basil and sel gris. Our main wooden platter there has grooves along the sides so we “framed” it with two kinds of olives (Nyons are black and Picholine are green; substitute here in the US). Then lined the bottom with rows of Comté, the most adored cheese in France by consumption (yum!) and cured sausage slices (wild boar). At the top there's a beautiful herbed chèvre (goat cheese) with rows of sliced baguette featuring duck liver mousse and three tapenades — tomato, black and green olive.To the right of the platter we have a very simply sliced cantaloupe drizzled with more EVOO and sel gris and some sardines, which are great protein and true fish oil sources (the stuff you might be swallowing in capsules is rancid; whole food wins again!). It is of course a rather large “apéro” and actually served as a complete dinner for five that evening. Bon appétit!Lastly, if you haven't bought The Nourishment Mindset book, what are you waiting for? It's all about what the French do seemingly effortlessly a it's part of their culture: the pleasures of the table. I also share my story of sickness and healing and serve up many practical tips and recipes for improving your health with real whole foods — all in a straight talkin' manner, of course.Thanks for reading Nourishment Mindset Podcast!

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. She takes pride in listening to her patients' complete stories, creating a holistic pathway to optimal health and empowerment.  Cristi has a Bachelor's of Health and Science Degree from Baylor University and a Master of Physical Therapy Degree from Texas State University. As a licensed Physical Therapist, she has various continuing education certifications in Dry Needling, Exercise Correction, Reformer Pilates, Manual Therapy, YogaFit, Qigong, and Kinesiotaping techniques. She has also been part of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute as a Holistic Lifestyle Coach for over 6 years. She is an advocate for functional medicine, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth, and a fan of Dr. Mark Hyman, Andrew Huberman, Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Brene Brown. If you've ever wondered how mind-body healing really works, or why traditional physical therapy sometimes misses the bigger picture, you're going to love hearing Cristi's perspective on holistic injury recovery, patient empowerment, and creating balance in life. Cristi's story proves that healing isn't just about the body. It's about the mind, emotions, and spirit working together. Do you enjoy listening to experts from diverse fields?
