Dismal prediction that, by 2050, 60% of women will suffer from cardiovascular disease; Yes, it's true that childhood and adolescent obesity, once rare, is now soaring; Treatments for osteopenia; Dentists continue to write prescriptions for potentially deadly antibiotic; A man, in love with his Chatbot, commits suicide to join her in the virtual world; Olive oil is calorie dense—but its consumption results in weight loss; Can “bio-regulator peptides” stave off kidney failure?
We are in Week 2 of a 4-part series on Unintentional Deaths from Accidents, which are the third-leading cause of death in America. This week, we focus on the category of ”Poisoning" deaths, of which about 80% are Opioid Overdoses. In this episode, we talk about:—Why Dr. Prather calls Opioid addiction "a manufactured crisis" which was "fueled by the medical profession".—The horrifying story of the Big Pharma family behind the Opioid addiction crisis in America. And how "they knew exactly" what they were doing because their own studies correctly predicted the deaths that would come from their Opioids.—How Opioids actually increase pain due to the damage to the body's own natural Opioid production and Opioid receptors. And how Opioids will create pain in your body, even if you didn't have pain before.—Why Structure-Function Care helps reduce deaths from Opioids by healing the root cause of the pain through Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Physical Therapy, and Physiotherapies. —The role of Acupuncture in healing the body's natural Opioid receptors and helping to break the addiction of Opioids. —How Auriculotherapy (Ear Acupuncture) actually helps to heal the brain's pain patterns and is also "amazing" for any kind of addiction. —Why Structure-Function Care is so helpful and effective for severe Opioid withdrawal symptoms.—The importance of Chiropractic in balancing out the nervous system, both in helping with pain relief and in healing the body from Opioid addiction. —The Diathermy treatment at Holistic Integration that provides a gentle detoxification and can help reduce nausea and pain from Opioid detox.—How Homeopathy can help counteract all side-effects of any poison, including Prescription Medicines. And the natural Herbals that work even better than dangerous pharmaceuticals to provide pain relief.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
What if the most powerful person on your care team isn't a nurse, a doctor, or a specialist — but someone showing up at 8:00 AM to check blood pressure, eat lunch with residents, and play vital signs bingo? In this episode, we go deep on the Community Health Worker role: what it is, what it isn't, and why most organizations are dramatically underusing it. Scott pulls no punches on the disconnect between what CHWs are doing and what they should be doing — and why the difference is costing patients their health and workers their bonuses. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the #1 complaint about CHW visits ("you're seeing our patients too much") is actually a communication failure, not a frequency problem — and how to fix it The specific visit types every community health worker should be scheduling: vital signs, medication reconciliation, lab draws, wound care, advanced care plans, and more How Mary White, a CHW in Gainesville, Georgia, goes in with 5 patients on her list and leaves having seen 15 — and what her approach reveals about what this role is really for Why buildings that aren't growing have either the wrong person or not enough people — and how to think through both The full compensation breakdown: base salary, guaranteed bonus, and how the right CHW can earn close to $80,000 a year If you hire, manage, or are a community health worker, this episode will reshape how you think about the role.

Most physical therapy clinics market the wrong thing.They promote visits, treatments, and techniques — but patients don't actually want those things. What they want is the outcome: getting back to running, lifting, sports, or living pain-free.In this episode, Jimmy McKay and Dave Kittle explore how PT clinic owners can shift from transactional care to transformation-based care.Drawing insights from thinkers like Seth Godin, Gary Vee, Rory Sutherland, Chris Voss, and Chris Do, they explain how better positioning, marketing, and communication can turn a one-time patient into a long-term relationship.They also discuss why selling programs beats selling packages, why vanity metrics like social media views don't build clinics, and how the first phone call with a patient may determine whether they ever become a client.If you're a clinic owner trying to grow revenue, improve patient engagement, and create a stronger brand, this episode will change how you think about your business.What You'll Learn• Why patients buy outcomes — not treatments• How to position your clinic as a transformation machine• Why social media views don't equal patients• How to turn a $10K client into a $70K lifetime relationship• The difference between selling programs vs packages• Why the first phone call determines patient conversions• The importance of asking better intake questionsGuests & ResourcesDave KittleWebsite: https://conciergepainrelief.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedavekittleshow/featuredTony MaritatoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MedicareBillingSponsorsSaRA Health — https://sarahealth.comEMPOWER EMR — https://empoweremr.comU.S. Physical Therapy — https://usph.com
What if the reason you're still leaking, feeling heaviness, or struggling postpartum isn't because you're broken but because no one ever taught you how to truly heal? So many women don't hear the words pelvic floor until after they've given birth when they're already dealing with incontinence, prolapse, pain with intimacy, or a body that feels unfamiliar and disconnected. In this episode, Cait sits down with Jessica London, Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Your Postpartum PT, to unpack what pelvic floor health actually is and why "just do Kegels" is outdated advice. Jessica shares why pelvic floor healing is about so much more than strengthening a muscle. It's about nervous system regulation, stress management, shame release, and whole-body recovery. They explore how birth (whether vaginal or C-section) impacts the body, why one in three women experience pelvic floor dysfunction, and how ambitious, high-achieving moms often struggle the most with slowing down enough to truly heal. Tune in to hear: What the pelvic floor actually is (in simple, clear terms) Why Kegels alone are not the solution The surprising connection between your jaw, stress levels, and pelvic floor tension Why birth is "physiologically normal" but still requires real rehabilitation How nervous system dysregulation impacts healing Why shame keeps so many women silent — and how to dissolve it What true postpartum recovery should look like Why virtual pelvic floor therapy can lead to faster, more consistent results Connect with Jessica: Instagram: @yourpostpartumpt Jessica's podcast: What About Mom?

You've been told perfect form prevents injury and rounding your back will ruin your spine. But what if the real problem isn't the movement? What if it's fear, outdated advice, and expecting your body to heal like it's Amazon Prime two-day shipping? We dive deeper into this in the latest episode of the Broads Podcast with strength coach Dr. Susie Spirlock. We also chat about why “perfect form” doesn't exist, how to return to lifting after injury or chronic conditions like POTS and hypermobility, and why strength training is non-negotiable for women heading into perimenopause and beyond. Dr. Susie Spirlock is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and strength coach with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. She is Barbell Rehab Method certified, Precision Nutrition Level 1 certified, and a Pain Free Performance Specialist. She provides online rehab and fitness coaching and serves as an instructor for the Barbell Rehab Method. What's Discussed: (08:44) Why “perfect form” doesn't exist and how anatomy shapes technique (10:15) Gradual exposure to load and why rounding your back isn't automatically bad (12:08) Fear of lifting heavy and how graded exposure reduces injury anxiety (14:00) Why fear predicts pain more than tissue damage after injury (18:25) Junk volume, overprogramming, and how smarter structure drives results (25:03) Why lifting advice from doctors lags 10-15 years behind research (32:26) Strength training, menopause, and what happens to bone density if you don't lift (48:43) Clickbait rehab content and how to spot black-and-white misinformation Check out more from Broads: Website: https://www.broads.app Instagram: @broads.podcast @broads.app Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

Send a textWhat happens when a movement-first profession steps into a simulation lab built for physiology and decision-making under pressure? We sit down with Denise Romano, an assistant professor leading physical therapy simulation at Binghamton University, to unpack how PT learners can safely practice high-stakes mobility long before they enter acute care. From AFib in the ICU to COPD patients whose vitals shift during transfers, Denise maps out realistic scenarios that force students to balance safety, lines and tubes, and evolving clinical data while communicating clearly as a team.We walk through a full landscape of PT-focused simulations: early infection control adapted from nursing with Glow Germ, mobility checkoffs in hospital-like spaces, ventilator cases requiring careful progression, and standardized patient interviews for differential diagnosis. Denise explains why PT relies heavily on SPs for authentic movement, where mannequins still shine for physiologic fidelity, and how thoughtful debriefs convert messy moments into durable clinical judgment. Her use of entrustability scales tied to EPAs gives faculty a shared framework to chart each learner's path from novice to entry-ready clinician, with formative feedback that guides safer practice.The conversation also tackles the big barrier: unlike nursing, PT lacks the large-scale evidence to replace a portion of clinical hours with simulation. Denise makes a compelling case for a multi-site study to unlock that recognition, particularly as acute care placements tighten and risk tolerance narrows. She also shares a favorite classroom memory that turned a tangled SCD mistake into a lifelong safety cue, highlighting why simulated missteps are often the most memorable teachers. If you care about physical therapy education, clinical placements, competency assessment, or the future of healthcare simulation, you'll leave with concrete ideas and renewed urgency to give PT a stronger seat at the table.Subscribe for more conversations on simulation, clinical education, and the skills that move patient care forward.

What would you tell yourself on day one as a manager? In this episode, Kamaria sits down with Kaitlyn Rios — a Doctor of Physical Therapy, certified wound specialist, and VP of Clinical Business Development — who has climbed from her first supervisory role all the way to leading national teams across startups, corporations, and privately held organizations. Kaitlyn gets candid about what no one told her stepping into leadership, starting with a revelation that still makes her laugh: she didn't realize her new role actually meant leading people. From there, the conversation gets real about the four jobs every manager is actually doing at once, the burnout that comes when people leadership becomes an afterthought, and why protecting your calendar isn't just a time management tip — it's a survival strategy. Kamaria and Kaitlyn also dig into the support systems that hold good managers together, why trust is the foundation of any meaningful leadership relationship, and what it looks and feels like to create a team culture where people truly feel safe to take risks and grow. Whether you're brand new to management or a seasoned leader, this one is a candid trip down memory lane with hard-won lessons you can use today.

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers
In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore the anatomy and clinical significance of the popliteus — the small, often overlooked muscle that unlocks the knee and why it may be a missing link in lateral knee pain, shin splints, post-surgical inhibition, and chronic joint irritation. I share reflections from my own ACL-deficient knee during an 8 week plyometric intensive and how restoring dynamic confidence changed not just my performance, but my joint symptoms. We'll also explore how the popliteus interfaces with the fibula, meniscus, joint capsule, and even the SI joint and why treating it in isolation rarely creates lasting change.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the popliteus is central to unlocking knee flexion in closed-chain movementWhy this muscle becomes hypertonic after injury and why releasing it isn't enoughHow posterior capsule, fibular motion, and meniscal connections influence knee painPractical ways to combine manual therapy and yielding plyometrics for better outcomesIf you've ever wondered why the popliteus keeps “tightening back up,” this episode will help you understand what it's protecting and how to work with it instead of against it.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 8: Unlocking The FibulaEp. 21: Easily Restore Knee Extension After Injury or SurgeryEp. 25: The Peripheral HeartEp. 78: Easily Restore Knee Flexion After Injury or SurgeryEp. 79: The Deeper Impact of Plyometrics w/ Matt McInnes WatsonEp. 138: The Link Between Potassium and Shin SplintsSquat Warmup VideoTutorial to Improve Knee Flexion VideoBook I Mentioned: New Manual Articular Approach: Lower Extremity by Jean-Pierre Barral & Alain CroibierSign Up For A Barral Institute Course (Tell them Anna Hartman sent you!)Learn 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.

In this powerful conversation, Jill shares how fracturing her ankle during her college basketball career shifted her path from veterinary medicine to becoming a leader in physical therapy and founder of a four-clinic practice in Michigan. She challenges the outdated belief that physical therapy is only for injuries, positioning it instead as a proactive, performance-driven, and preventative cornerstone of healthcare. The discussion explores direct access laws in Michigan, the limitations of insurance-driven care, and why physical therapists should be musculoskeletal “quarterbacks” for long-term wellness. Jill dives deep into neuro pain science, explaining how pain is processed in the brain, why tissue healing doesn't always equal pain relief, and how belief, mindset, and emotional processing impact recovery. The conversation expands into posture dysfunction from modern sitting habits, stabilizing the neck and spine, inflammation, omega balance, nutrition as a foundation for healing, and the future of collaborative, experience-driven healthcare. Ultimately, this episode reframes physical therapy as a powerful preventative tool, blending science, mindset, nutrition, and human connection to optimize performance and longevity.#MusculoskeletalHealth#RehabToPerformance#HealthOptimization#Longevity#FunctionalWellness

In this episode of Get Back To It, Dr. Rita Roy speaks with Rich Rabin, a technology and product leader whose life was upended by severe nerve pain caused by an L5–S1 disc herniation. What began as manageable glute pain progressed into debilitating nerve symptoms that affected his sleep, mobility, and overall quality of life. After months of conservative treatments—including physical therapy and injections—Rich ultimately underwent a microdiscectomy to relieve nerve compression.While surgery addressed the primary issue, recovery proved gradual and unpredictable. Rich shares candidly about the mental and emotional challenges of healing, the importance of self-advocacy, and learning that spine recovery is rarely linear.Inspired by his own frustration tracking fluctuating symptoms, Rich created Recoverly, a free iPhone app designed to help patients log daily symptoms and identify trends—supporting clearer communication with healthcare providers.Rich's story is a powerful reminder that healing takes patience; progress isn't always steady, and resilience can grow from even the most difficult setbacks.Support the show

Manual therapy is one of those topics that seems to quickly descend to polarised debates in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Today, we're talking about what manual therapy looks like and does in the 2020s. Dr Jodi Young explains the mechanisms of manual therapy, the typical effects and why you might think about adding manual therapy as another tool in your physical therapy toolkit. Dr Young is the Director of Research for the Doctor of Science in Physical Therapy program at Bellin College in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where she mentors doctoral clinicians and helps turn clinical and educational research questions into meaningful, publishable research. She is also a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Modern definition and description of manual therapy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38457654/ Modern way to teach and practice manual therapy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38773515/ Living review of manual therapy mechanisms: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40100908/ Unravelling the mechanisms of manual therapy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2018.7476 Developing manual therapy frameworks: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptopen.2023.0002 Integrating person-centred concepts and modern manual therapy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/full/10.2519/josptopen.2023.0812 How do patients believe manual therapy works? https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptopen.2025.0149 Does it matter how you apply spinal manipulation?

In this Curve Convo episode of Ahead of the Curve, I'm joined by Kerry Green to talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough in scoliosis care: identity. Specifically, how the beliefs you hold about your curve, your diagnosis, and your ability to heal can shape your experience of pain and progress.We explore how early messages from doctors or authority figures can stick with you for years, why hypervigilance can feel protective but actually slow healing, and how optimism isn't just “positive thinking” but a powerful nervous system shift.We also answer listener questions about pillows for side sleepers, stomach sleeping, and whether cold weather makes scoliosis pain worse.In This Episode You'll Hear:• How identifying strongly with your diagnosis can impact pain and healing• Why hypervigilance may feel safe but can keep your body stuck• Practical ways to begin shifting limiting beliefs about scoliosis• How to approach sleep position and pillow support with scoliosisIf you've ever felt discouraged, defined by your curve, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will help you feel more empowered and capable in your healing journey.Links & Resources For This Episode:Connect with Kerry on InstagramSchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis

Why Progressive Overload Is the Missing Link in Rehab with Dr. Todd RiddleThere's a big difference between learning a technique…and understanding a system.In today's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the FAKTR rehab methodology — not the marketing version, not the surface-level explanation — but the actual framework that drives how we assess, load, and progress patients.In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr. Todd Riddle — our Director of Education — breaks down:The evolution of FAKTR from technique-based roots to a full rehabilitation continuumWhy progressive overload is the missing link in most rehab programsThe difference between treating a condition… and treating a personAnd how static, motion, resistance, function, and performance fit together inside the FAKTR systemYou'll also hear why we believe pain during exercise isn't automatically the enemy — and how to clinically differentiate between “injured” and simply “sensitive.”If you've taken a FAKTR course before, this will deepen your understanding.If you haven't, this will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the system actually works.

Today's guest is Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a physical therapist and strength coach known for bridging rehabilitation and performance. He's the founder of ZacCupples.com and is respected for translating complex concepts around respiration and movement mechanics into practical tools coaches and clinicians can immediately apply to improve efficiency, reduce pain, and enhance performance. The bridge between sports performance rehab is an important one. In the midst of movement mechanics that drive good rehab, and high intensity lifting, lies the knowledge that can help athletes make continual gains while staying robust and healthy for their sport. On today's show, Zac explores how an athlete's structure influences movement, strength training, and even injury risk. He shares his track background and how it shaped his coaching, then unpacks concepts like narrow vs. wide “ISA” builds, why some athletes struggle to feel their hamstrings in traditional lifts, and how tools like front loading, box squats, machines, and sprinting can solve it. He also digs into long-duration isometrics, mobility vs. flexibility, and finishes with a fun lightning round. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints." About Zac Cupples Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and educator specializing in human movement, respiration, and performance optimization. He is the founder of ZacCupples.com and has become widely known for translating complex biomechanical and neurophysiological concepts into practical strategies that clinicians and coaches can immediately apply.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share a candid look at expectations in clinical practice, especially after learning a new framework like the LTAP®. I break down why early wins can create unrealistic internal pressure, how I think about my 1-3 session benchmark, and why managing patient expectations is often the missing piece in overcoming imposter syndrome. I also walk through a real case example of a Navy SEAL BUD/S candidate to show how I decide when to adjust the plan, refer out, or stay the course.In this episode, you'll hear:What “guaranteeing results” really means and what it doesn'tWhy mismatching assessment precision with treatment precision can worsen outcomesHow expectations (yours vs. your patient's) shape confidence and resultsThe six questions that dramatically improve clarity, buy-in, and clinical directionIf you're a clinician who wants better results without burning yourself out or second-guessing every session, this episode will sharpen your reasoning and steady your confidence.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 119: Guaranteeing Results...

In this week's podcast episode, we're sharing a 2026 refresh of one of our most requested and revisited conversations, originally recorded in 2021. We're joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Jill Ehrmantraut of Apex Therapy for an honest and affirming discussion about pelvic floor health, physical healing, and sex after the NICU and birth trauma.Jill helps us understand how birth, trauma, and chronic stress impact the body, the nervous system, and the pelvic floor. Together, we talk about common but often unspoken changes after birth, including pain with sex, muscle tension, weakness, scar tissue from C sections, emotional release held in the body, and why pelvic floor therapy can be an essential part of healing for both vaginal and C section births.This conversation gently demystifies pelvic floor therapy, addresses fears and misconceptions, and reminds moms that discomfort, pain, and changes after birth are common, but they do not have to be your normal. Jill shares practical insight, reassurance, and hope for moms navigating physical healing after the NICU.As you listen, we hope you feel validated, empowered, and encouraged to seek care that honors both your body and your story. Healing is not linear, postpartum is lifelong, and you are never alone in this sisterhood! Jill is a Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist (WCS) with advanced training in pelvic rehabilitation for females, males and children. Jill graduated with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Mary, Bismarck, ND in 2010. She has advanced training in the treatment of pelvic pain, pregnancy and post-partum issues, urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, constipation, and neurogenic bladder in women, men, and children. She also has years of experience in treating female pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic floor dysfunction during or after cancer treatment, pediatric pelvic floor dysfunction, and post prostatectomy incontinence in males.

In this episode, I answer a powerful question from a multi-clinic owner: If you were opening a private practice today, what would you focus on to win by next year? My answer comes down to two things: Beingness — defining your ideal scene, building culture, and leading with transparency. Mechanics — clinical efficiency, productivity standards, payroll discipline, and pay-for-performance compensation. Private practice in 2026 requires clarity, financial discipline, and strong leadership. This episode breaks down exactly how I would structure a practice today to ensure growth, profitability, and long-term success. If you're serious about building a scalable, high-performing clinic, this episode is for you.
