Welcome to the start of Jefferson's third century. During our Bicentennial Year, we celebrated a lot of what got Jefferson to this point but as 2024 becomes 2025, attention now turns to our future. In this episode of the Thomas Jefferson News Podcast, we look at five exciting projects underway within the University's College of Architecture and the Built Environment, Athletics Department, College of Rehabilitation Sciences, College of Population Health, a Health Design Lab and Sidney Kimmel Medical College mashup. They range from an architecture studio seeking ways to not just reduce – but eliminate – homelessness in cities and the production of cost-effective 3D printed models for renal masses to visions for the future of athletics at the University … and a whole lot more. Our hope is to evolve this episode into a series, so if you know of any innovative forward-facing projects being worked on throughout the enterprise, do not hesitate to recommend them for inclusion.

Our bodies hold memories from the past. They hold within them all the experiences and emotions that we weren't capable of moving through as children. These unprocessed energies stay and become heaviness, pain even disease. To understand this deeper, Yael Ginzburg speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Letchford, a scientist turned spiritual seeker and healer. Liz came from a background of sports medicine, with a PhD in Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science. While treating patients and her own discomforts, she started noticing another layer that wasn't being attended to. In this episode she shares her insights and journey of healing disease in the body through movement. Topics covered: Deciphering the inner voice and the competing motivations Allowing energy to move Balancing the nervous system Giving place for emotion Expressing Universal Archetypes within Resources: Elizabeth's website Elizabeth's Instagram @lizletchford Body Church website Check out the different experiences Yandara offers on our website Yandara's Instagram @yandarayoga Yael's Instagram @yaelginzburg Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Curious Ones by Yandara.

In April 2022, Rakhi established Queen City Pelvic Health and Wellness, LLC, where she treats all genders holistically from head to toe and believes that “nothing is TMI.” She treats in Anderson Township near Cincinnati, OH and has a second location in Fort Thomas, KY. Rakhis experience includes 11 years at The Christ Hospital, where she worked in inpatient rehabilitation and acute care prior to outpatient pelvic floor therapy. In her last 4 years at Christ, Rakhi planned, developed, and executed the hospitals pelvic floor therapy program. From 2015-2019, she was also an Adjunct Professor of OT at Xavier University. She was a speaker at the OTs in Pelvic Health Summit, has been a guest on the OTs in Pelvic Health Podcast, and was part of the small group of pelvic health OTs who established the Pelvic Health CoP through the AOTA. She was the Co-Chair of the Post-Dobbs Task Force. Rakhi was recently an author of the “AOTA Societal Statement on Reproductive Health. Where to find Rahki: www.queencitypelvichealth.comAlyson StoverA childhood family trauma introduced Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP to the power of occupational therapy. A subsequent lifetime of study and practice convinced her that patient advocacy was every bit as essential as her technical practice of occupational therapy. That would be a pretty full slate for most OTs, but it doesn't begin to describe all of Stover's accomplishments. Stover founded and owns Capable Kids, a private outpatient pediatric practice north of Pittsburgh that provides physical and speech and language therapy services in addition to occupational therapy. She's also an associate professor in the Department of OT at the University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. In July 2021, she will begin a four-year term as president-elect/president of the AOTA, representing over 100,000 OT practition____________________________________________________________________________________________Introducing Pelvic OTPs United -- Lindsey's new off-line interactive community!
