    218: Advocating for Accessible Healthcare for People with Disabilities With Chanda Hinton

    218: Advocating for Accessible Healthcare for People with Disabilities With Chanda Hinton

    Our recent guest on the I Love Neuro podcast, Chanda Hinton, is doing impactful work to improve healthcare access and quality of care for individuals with disabilities. As the Executive Director of the Chanda Center for Health & Wellness in Denver, Colorado, Chanda leads efforts in both direct service provision and systemic advocacy.
    Chanda shared her personal story of living with a spinal cord injury since 1991. She discussed the secondary conditions that often arise and how the medical model can fall short in long-term support. Chanda's experience with chronic pain and reliance on opioids inspired her vision for the Chanda Center - providing holistic, collaborative care through integrative therapies like physical therapy, acupuncture and massage.
    For 19 years, the Chanda Center has evolved its approach. It now offers on-site services under one roof, including physical therapy, chiropractic, behavioral health and more. Chanda advocates for Medicaid coverage of these therapies based on her success with them. She works to reduce red tape around physical therapy access through Medicaid as well.
    Chanda highlighted the need for improved disability competence among healthcare providers. Biases that disability equals sickness must be challenged. Providers need education and autonomy to respectfully serve individuals. Chanda also emphasized the importance of visibility - on social media and in mainstream representation. This helps normalize the reality that one in four people will experience disability.
    Through direct service, advocacy and legislative change, Chanda empowers people with disabilities. She trains providers and works to redefine narratives around both disability and aging. Chanda's courageous and collaborative approach is uniquely improving lives and transforming healthcare systems.

    217: How To Plan A Transformative PD Retreat With Joy Cochran, PT, DPT

    217: How To Plan A Transformative PD Retreat With Joy Cochran, PT, DPT

    On this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, host Erin Gallardo sits down with guest Joy Cochran to discuss her business Joy Explorations and an upcoming Parkinson's disease retreat.
    Joy started Joy Explorations in 2018 with a goal of empowering older adults and those with neurological conditions through adaptive outdoor activities and movement. She found many of her physical therapy clients were not continuing the activities they enjoyed after discharge. Joy wanted to help people live life to the fullest outside of the clinic setting.
    Joy Explorations now offers group classes, one-on-one sessions, and "exploration days" where clients can try kayaking, biking on adaptive trikes, and more. Joy assesses each client's needs and works with them to problem solve challenges in a personalized way.
    In September, Joy will host a four-day Parkinson's disease retreat focused on exercise, education, and immersion in healthy lifestyle strategies. The retreat will incorporate kayaking, biking, hiking, and other outdoor activities alongside workshops on managing non-motor symptoms. Joy's goal is to help participants realize they can do more than they think and leave with new skills and friendships.
    The podcast provides valuable insights into Joy's process of planning the retreat budget, contracts, and activities. Overall, the episode offers inspiration and practical tips for anyone interested in hosting health and wellness retreats.

    215: Learn How To Help Clients Fall WELL With Naomi Casiro

    215: Learn How To Help Clients Fall WELL With Naomi Casiro

    Okay, so let’s address this head on: No one wants to fall. But falls do happen. Especially for people who have trouble with their balance. So wouldn’t it be great if when someone did fall, they knew how to roll or land in a way that minimized injury? That’s what we’re talking about today with physiotherapist Naomi Casiro of NeuroFit BC. She runs one on one and group therapy sessions for people with PD teaching them the fundamentals of controlling their movement and momentum in order to minimize risk.  
    In the show we’ll address:
    The actual format and progression of classes/sessions focused on fall training
    The method Naomi uses to hone in on what type of falling to treat
    What the MOST important factor is when teaching someone how to fall well
    What the contraindications are for this type of training
    What equipment is needed and how to get started
    How to get your clients on board to try this training with you
    You can reach out to Naomi and learn more about the fall training courses she teaches for healthcare professionals here:

    214: What To Know About Being Non-Participating With Medicare With Tyler Horton, PT, DPT, NCS

    214: What To Know About Being Non-Participating With Medicare With Tyler Horton, PT, DPT, NCS

    There are a lot of reasons you can go into private practice. Most of which have to do with the desire to provide care in a different way than you’ve seen in your community. But the way you set up your practice can be as unique as you are. One challenging question most neuro clinicians face when setting up their private practice is what to do about Medicare? As policies with Medicare continue to change, many opt to enroll in Medicare as a non-participating provider. This means you work with Medicare beneficiaries to deliver covered services but you bill differently. As a non-participating provider with Medicare you’re able to collect up front from patients, submit your claim to Medicare, and Medicare reimburses the patient for the visit (rather than you since you collected your money up front). There are pros and cons about going this route. In this episode we talk to physical therapist Tyler Horton of Synapse Neuro Rehab about his business model and why he decided to become a non-participating provider with Medicare. Tyler has been running his business this way for a few years and helps other neuro business owners who want to become non-participating with Medicare navigate this path.
