    Ep. 19 - Fitness Forward Physical Therapy with the Institute of Clinical Excellence's COO Alan Fredendall, PT, DPT, CCFT

    A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Alan Fredendall, COO and faculty with ICE, Owner of Health HQ, and coach at CrossFit Fenton. I have been following ICE for about two years now and if there is one piece of advice I could give anyone interested in orthopedic PT, its that you should be too. Their faculty work unbelievably hard to drive the profession forward through education, training, research dissemination, and advocating for PT's to lead from the front. Check out some of the things we discussed in the episode below! BEST PT Podcast PT On ICE Daily Show ICE Physio Instagram

    Ep. 16 - Career Path Highlight: Active Duty Air Force Physical Therapy

    This week on The Better You Movement Podcast, I sat down with Air Force physical therapists Maj Walter and Capt Ali to talk all things military PT and whether this career path may be right for you.  We discussed their PT journeys prior to receiving their commission via direct accession, what makes military PT so unique in its expanded scope of practice, settings military PT's practice in, balancing the roles of PT as well as officer, salary and benefits, professional development opportunities, deployment, and what it takes to make it in this career field.

    Ep. 13 - Sifting Through The Noise of Social Media

    Disclaimer: This isn’t a hot take, and it’s not directed at ANYONE specifically👌🏼 After a little podcast hiatus, I thought it would be fitting to talk about when social media gets it WRONG🙅🏻‍♂️ At its best, Instagram and other platforms are an informative and interactive space we we share ideas and LEARN from each other. So big S/O to the platforms out there that strive to do that, REGARDLESS of what Instagram rewards or what we do often think sells. What I DON’T support is using instagram to exploit insecurities or create obscured and unattainable “fitness goals” by painting health as having specific body features and comparison culture. That is taking so many steps back! If nothing else, KNOW THIS. Sustainable health and fitness doesn’t come through sexy 20 second “self-fix” videos and one-off nutrition and fitness programs. There are absolutely amazing fitness and healthcare professionals out there who CAN help you, and you should seek them out. 💪🏼 It is an investment worth more than its weight in gold💰, and you should TAKE THE TIME to seek out the person that’s right for you! The best PT’s and coaches out there are creating thoughtful and useful content for you, not using sex appeal to make you want what they have. Listen in to this week’s episode to hear more about this topic!🎙

    Ep. 12 - Prioritizing Mental Health During Zoom DPT School

    If you listened in last week, you heard me talk a little bit about my own struggles during this past semester dealing with isolation and online DPT school. These were always conversations I thought were important to have, but never really felt like they applied to me. UNTIL NOW! This week, I sit down with the founders of GRADitude, Gabby Mace and Sarah Falbo. They share what they are doing to help SPT's navigate the insanity of PT school and get students that DPT on their first try, DEPT FREE. But our main focus for this episode is discussing the challenges students are facing with online DPT school beyond the content that is making it harder than ever to function and perform at the level we are expected to at this level of education.
