    REWIND - An Introduction to Manual Therapy for SLPs with Walt Fritz

    *****Originally Aired: April 30, 2024 ***** Guest: Walt Fritz, PT Earn 0.1 ASHA CEU for this episode with Speech Therapy PD: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/courses/an-introduction-to-manual-therapy-for-slps In this episode, Renee is joined by Walt Fritz, PT, to discuss manual therapy and its application in SLP practice. Walt brings his unique perspective and skill set to the forefront of this conversation, including evidence-based practice and shared decision-making. Join Renee and Walt for an hour packed with innovative concepts for the ever-evolving SLP practice repertoire. About the Guest: Walt Fritz, PT, is a licensed physical therapist with a B.S. in Physical Therapy (1985) and a B.A. in Community Mental Health (1984) from SUNY Buffalo. He began practicing Myofascial Release (MFR) in 1992 and is the most experienced practitioner in the Central and Western New York region, including Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and the Southern Tier. Over the past ten years, he has advanced the MFR work he learned and taught, and now refers to his approach as “manual therapy.” While there are many reasons for this updated name, much of it relates to the underlying concepts used to explain its effects. Healthcare is full of unsubstantiated claims; helping someone with the work you do is not equivalent to those results validating the claims made. Walt teaches his Foundations in Manual Therapy seminars worldwide to physical therapists, massage therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. With over 30 years of experience as a physical therapist, he combines the best of traditional physical therapy interventions with modern approaches to Myofascial Release.

Despite not being accepted into graduate school on her first attempt, Kim went on to pursue doctoral-level coursework in neuroscience, driven by her deep interest in brain science and—admittedly—her hyperfixations. Kim identifies as neuroqueer and is passionately focused on trauma-informed care. During the COVID-19 shutdown, she completed a graduate course on the topic (her version of a sourdough starter) and continued her training through Trauma Institute International, earning certification as a Trauma-Support Specialist (CTSS), which she maintains through ongoing education. She’s “pretty okay” at being an SLP—but exceptionally committed to making the field more informed, inclusive, and brain-savvy.
