Therapy Insiders Podcast

You may be asking yourself…..”self, what insider information could I possibly want or need regarding physical therapy, sports medicine, rehabilitation and medicine.” Well, very good question. There is a ton of information regarding treatment techniques, philosophies, and medicine. But how do you separate the fluff from useful relevant information? Our mission is to gain inside(r) input and perspective on all the information floating around from the experts and then dissect it…figuratively. We will present each of these topics and more in an objective way, and then pick them apart to get to the core of what is useful in the clinical setting. We have several prominent guests lined up for interviews to help shed light on various therapeutic topics ranging from joint manipulations, functional training, business ownership while being a clinician, sports rehab and much more. We cover Physical Therapy (PT), Manual therapy, rehab, sports medicine, business practice, and many more topics. Therapy Insiders podcast is hosted by UpDoc Media co-founders Dr. Gene Shirokobrod and Dr. Ben Fung.

How can a clinician best help their patient? The answer seems simple. Fix their problem. But what if the problem goes beyond a diagnosis. How can a clinician best help their patient? By caring about the human being in front of them. This takes empathy. But is empathy even real? On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Larry Benz, author of Called to Care. Hear his take on empathy and what he's learned over his career as a physical therapist and business owner.

You have 10 minutes to connect with someone in front of you.

It's important. 

How do you do it?

If you want the best chance at a genuine connection, you tell a story. 

I know. Stories have become a buzzword of sorts. 

Yet, when told properly and authentically, stories are your best way to connect with someone else. That someone may be a person in front of you or many people over digital. 

For physical therapists, or actually any clinician, you have 10 minutes to connect with new patients. When a person is sitting in front of you, sharing their concerns that resulted in a visit, you MUST connect. 

On this podcast, Kindra Hall the best-selling author of Stories That Stick, shares her insights on stories. 

If you want to learn how to tell stories that resonate, connect, and ultimately make an impact, this is an episode you CANNOT miss.

It's fascinating to look back. To better understand where we are going, you must understand where we came from. Healthcare is no different. Within the context of healthcare history, physical therapy is fairly young. What lessons can we take away from the parallel of medicine, private party insurance and societal needs? Let's go over it on today's Therapy Insiders podcast.

Business ownership is tough. In fact, it's largely a struggle with glimpses of success. It's mostly a losing proposition. So why do it? And even more so, why do so many people talk positively of it.

 

This is our Hot Take on realities of business that hardly get spoken about.

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), good or bad? Or worse...irrelevant?

This is our Insiders Hot Take on the APTA. 

Jun 12, 2019

The physical therapy industry continues to evolve. As more people figure out the versatility of physical therapists, demand will continue to increase. With increased demand, opportunities for better delivery of care will arise. To keep up, new business models will be created. And some novel approaches will be mistaken for business models. 

So what is a business model? How do you differentiate a unique transactional approach vs a unique business model? Let's go over it on this episode of Therapy Insiders Podcast.

The rebels are under attack, mounting forces seem to be in control and the landscape looks as dangerous as ever. This is The Physical Therapy Empire Strikes Back, the 2nd of 3 episodes with guests Dr. Kelly Starrett and Dr. John Rusin. 

Nov 6, 2018

The physical therapy industry is evolving and it starts with the physical therapist.

Change is hard, it needs to be systemized.

To know where we are going we have to know where we came from. In order for growth to occur we have to sustain multiple failures. Failure in real-time, while in the act of change, is not easy. It's messy. Even more so, change is hard when dealing with people. That's people within the physical therapy industry and people outside.

Let's go over it on episode 4this episode of Therapy Insiders Podcast with guests Dr. Kelly Starrett and Dr. John Rusin.

Stress is a natural part of life. It's neither good or bad. It simply is. Too much or too little stress can be veer into good or bad.

In particular, too much stress can become a serious health issue. We all experience stress and yet some of us are better than others at dealing with it.

Even more so, at channeling it into high productivity. How is that done? Through internal systems.

On this episode of Therapy Insiders podcast, we, along with Dr. John Rusin, go over our stress management systemization strategies.

Being an entrepreneur is a series of violent collisions.

It's not like running a marathon. Entrepreneurship is a violent sport.

Welcome back to the latest episode of Therapy Insiders podcast LIVE. On this new format we answer your questions LIVE as well as cover some topics we see as relevant. On this episode we go over business, entrepreneurship and your questions on selling pain science to other medical professionals.

The only way to grow is by continuing to learn. 

How do you decide which is the best option for continued learning?

Continuing education (con-ed) is a necessity. You need to do it to maintain your license. You need to do it to maintain your skillset. You need to do it to simply keep up. How do you choose which con-ed courses to attend? They are often expensive, require travel and integration. Listen in for the answers. 

What do you do when a patient presents with cervicogenic dizziness? How do you go about addressing the problem? How do you keep the patient comfortable? Answers in the podcast. 

Is CashPT better than traditional PT? Is spending MORE time with someone equal to spending BETTER time with them? Is there any data to show that more time is better time? Discussion in the podcast.

There are certain inevitabilities in business. The one that most (if not all) can agree upon is failure. 

At some point in your business you will fail. For most of us it happens daily. It's akin to baseball. If you hit .300 you are considered an All-star. That means failing 70% of the time puts you in an exclusively, highly successful group. 

We embrace failure for what it is, a critical learning experience. We hope you do as well. Some lessons are tougher than others. In this episode, we share a couple stories that exemplify these concepts.

Then we discuss a dangerous tunnel visioned dilemma that experts run in to. It's dangerous because you may not even know it's happening until too late. Find out what the dilemma is and how to avoid it!

This may be the most important episode of Therapy Insiders podcast we've ever recorded. 

Imagine... 

You are young, healthy and hitting your professional stride.

Everything is going great. 

Then you start to get tired. A little too often. 

It's probably normal, you've been working a lot. Maybe you need a break.

You take a break, and nothing changes. In fact it get's worse. Then you start having some stomach issues.

Ok, time to go see a doctor. It's just a precaution.

The phone rings. 

Everything changes. 

Cancer. 

This is what Ben Sergeant is going through.

Physical Therapy Podcast Worlds Collide

4 people. 2 podcasts. Many, many tangents. 

When you have a long running podcast, such as Therapy Insiders, we often get asked about other podcasts in the physical therapy space. While we keep a pulse on the entire industry (see: top 40 influencers), we don't necessarily listen to every podcast in the industry. One of the podcasts we do keep regular in our podcast playlist is PT Pintcast. So it only made sense to get the host and founder, Jimmy McKay, on Therapy Insiders to talk about...well...everything.

Jimmy has an interesting career origin story. A unique perspective as a podcast host, new grad physical therapist and an advocate for doing good. 

Let's jump right in with the last 2017 episode of Therapy Insiders podcast from UpDoc Media

Special thank you to WebPT for their continued support of Therapy Insiders podcast. They have been an incredible resource and friends from the very start.
