    Practice Doesn’t Make Perfect: Motor Learning, Psychosocial Foundations & Teaching That Sticks — with Dr. Myra Meekins

    Today on Hands On, Hands Off, host Moyo Tillery sits down with Dr. Myra Meekins—PT, educator, and curriculum designer—to rethink how we teach and learn OMPT. From “practice makes perfect” to practice with purpose, Myra connects classic motor-learning models to the OPTIMAL theory (expectancies, autonomy, external focus), and shows why you must address the psychosocial to change the psychomotor. We get concrete about designing sticky learning experiences for DPT students, residents, and fellows; building safe, high-expectation lab cultures; and using feedback, simulations, and competency-based education to translate knowledge to performance. Myra also shares her path from MTI fellowship and WashU’s Movement System Impairments work to leading curriculum development for a new DPT program and co-investigating a $1.6M grant bringing PT simulation into high schools. You’ll learnWhy clear expectations + psychological safety accelerates skill acquisitionHow to scaffold from competence → refinement → mastery across DPT, residency, and fellowshipPractical ways to make learning “stick” for a class of 100 (and a class of 10)Using low-stakes, frequent formative assessment to steer teaching in real timeDesigning integrated, case-based curricula (and avoiding silo traps)What competency-based education and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) look like in PTMovement as the organizing principle: applying Movement System Impairments to guide exam & interventionWhy educators must adapt to the learner in front of them, not the one they used to be

    Context as a Mechanism in Spinal Manipulation

    What if context—patient beliefs, provider expectations, and the therapeutic relationship—drives a meaningful share of spinal manipulation outcomes? In this HANDS ON HANDS OFF episode, we break down a single-arm intervention study funded by the Paris Family Foundation via the Foundation for OMPT, why the current mechanisms model zeroes in on the “context zone,” and how to practically weave guidelines + shared decision-making into outpatient practice. Top takeaways Outcomes vary—and context might be part of the mechanismStudy design links individual providers ↔ individual patients for cleaner signalsImplementation: use shared decision-making to operationalize guidelinesCareer notes: pick mentors early, build long-term collaborators, include patient partners

    Gender Matters in OMPT: Dr. Shaver on Bias, Equity, and Better Outcomes

    In this episode of HANDS ON HANDS OFF, host Dr. Moyo Tillery sits down with Dr. Sarah Shaver, a clinician, educator, and researcher focused on gender considerations in orthopaedic manual physical therapy. Together they explore why common assumptions about female athletes and chronic pain patients can perpetuate inequities—and what OMPT practitioners can do to change that. From ACL injury risk factors to concussion outcomes, manual therapy decision-making, and care for transgender and non-binary athletes, Dr. Shaver challenges listeners to reflect on their own biases, apply equity-based care, and use available research to transform outcomes. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why gendered assumptions about ACL injuries and concussions can lead to inequitable careHow “hands-off” approaches to chronic pain disproportionately affect female patientsThe difference between equality and equity in clinical practicePractical strategies and resources to recognize and reduce bias in your own treatmentHow to create more inclusive environments for transgender and non-binary athletes in OMPT settings

    Dr. Amy McDevitt: The Problem with 'Usual Care' in PT Research + Fixing the Gap in Evidence

    What does “usual care” really mean in physical therapy research — and why is it so inconsistently applied across studies? In this episode, Dr. Amy McDevitt joins us for a deep-dive conversation into the limitations of current PT research and how vague terms like "usual care" are impacting evidence-informed practice. Dr. McDevitt discusses: Why “nothing” should never be a control in clinical trialsHow heel pain and orthotic studies show cracks in research designThe evolving role of manual therapy and therapeutic allianceHer collaborative work with Dr. Moyo Tillery on minority faculty representationAdvice for early-career academics and clinical researchersThe connection between burnout, purpose, and academic productivity This episode is a must-listen for PTs, educators, researchers, and anyone passionate about improving the quality of care through better scholarship.

    What Really Makes Manual Therapy Work?

    Is it the technique—or the therapist—that really drives manual therapy outcomes? In this episode of the AAOMPT Podcast, research expert Dr. Jason Beneciuk dives into the latest findings around spinal manipulation, patient-provider dynamics, and the contextual factors that could redefine how physical therapists deliver care. Guest: Dr. Jason Beneciuk – Associate Professor at the University of Florida and Clinical Research Scientist at Brooks Rehabilitation. In this episode: Skip Gill interviews Dr. Jason Beneciuk about his evolving research on manual therapy and the crucial role of contextual factors. They explore the development of the Biolosky model, the impact of both patient and therapist beliefs, and Jason’s latest funded study through the Paris Family Foundation. A must-listen for OMPT clinicians, researchers, and anyone aiming to provide better care by understanding not just what we do—but why it works.

    Should PTs Know More About Obstetric Care? Why It’s Time to Rethink Entry-Level Education

    In this episode, AAOMPT interviewer Nick Rainey is joined by Dr. Natalie Turrentine, orthopedic physical therapist and educator at Rosalind Franklin University, to unpack her CSM 2024 research on obstetric education in DPT programs. They cover: Differences between pelvic health and obstetric terminologyWhy orthopedic PTs need training in pregnancy-related considerationsAccessibility issues and referral trendsCAPTE standards and what’s actually required in PT educationHow her program threads obstetric content across curriculumOpportunities to better prepare students without extending program length

    SMT, Bias, and the Future of Manual Therapy Education with Dr. Casper Nim

    In this episode of Hands On, Hands Off, we dive deep into the largest systematic review on SMT to date with researcher and chiropractor Casper Glissmann Nim. What he and his team discovered may shake the very foundation of manual therapy education and clinical practice. We explore: Whether SMT is more effective than placebo or non-recommended therapiesWhy the way you perform SMT might not influence patient outcomesHow contextual factors and therapeutic alliance play a bigger role than we once thoughtThe implications for fellowship training and manual therapy educationWhat the future holds for low back pain research and self-management strategiesThis is a must-listen for any PT, chiro, educator, or student wrestling with the role of manual therapy in modern practice.
