Masters in Motion The Movement Brainery

Phil Tygiel has been a business owner, two-time President of the Arizona Physical Therapy Association, and has been recognized numerous times nationally for his service, including being named a Catherine Worthingham Fellow of the APTA.

In this interview, we talk a little about how you can be involved in service. Phil was both a clinical practice owner, clinician, and an active member of the House of the Delegates early in his career, during which time he was involved in encouraging diagnosis by physical therapists as well as direct access initiatives.

In this episode, he gives some historical perspective, his thoughts on manual therapy, and insight into how to lobby legislators for our profession.

For our podcast's finale, Seth Peterson interviews the authors of the book "Movers and Mentors" Bryan Guzski and Tim Reynolds. Bryan and Tim set out on a very similar journey to this podcast during the preparation of their book a few years ago. What did they find? How do the themes from their book relate to the themes from this podcast?

Instead of summarizing key themes from Season 1.5, which we did after the first season, we've decided to discuss some of the broader themes with Tim and Bryan, who will also detail what themes they took away from their book interviewing 75 successful clinicians.

This is the end of the podcast, but it doesn't have to be the end of your journey to improve in the clinic. Check out the links below to stay involved and keep the fire burning.

No matter what area of physical therapy you have focused - clinical practice, research, private practice, leadership, or academia - you've probably heard of Tim Flynn.

That's because Tim Flynn, PT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, FAPTA has touched all of those areas of practice - and done so at a high level - something that is extremely rare. He is probably best known for being one of the figureheads of the evidence-based practice movement in physical therapy and for his research on spinal manipulation. But in this interview, you'll hear how Tim managed to do all of that while also starting his own private practice and being elected as the President of AAOMPT. You'll also hear about his passion for clinical practice and vision for the future of physical therapy and healthcare as a whole.

When asked by one of the members of UC Davis' Pain Fellowship what makes him different as a clinician, Tim McGonigle, PT, FAAOMPT replied, "I listen with my heart." Tim grew up with a stutter and later began practicing meditation, which he thinks may have helped him develop an ability to be present with the patient, develop greater compassion,  and "use all of his senses" in treatment. The time that Tim has been engaged in patient care has been a while - over 40 years. A longtime partner of Michael Moore (who we interviewed on Season 1, Episode 9) at Folsom Physical Therapy and their long-term program.

In this interview, Tim reflects on his career path being one of the first to undergo a residency in the United States to now being the only US member on the board of the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept and still practicing in the clinic.

This is the recap of our 3-part "Communication Series" that went live on our Facebook group Mindful Clinicians. In this short recap, Seth recaps some of the key themes in communication, brings in key quotes from all of the interviewees (John Woolf, PT, PhD(c), ATC, COMT, Matt Erb, PT, and Maxi Miciak, PT, PhD), and suggests how being more mindful in our clinical practices might be able to pull all of this together.

We are wrapping up our communication series with Maxi Miciak, PhD. Maxi Miciak is a rockstar physiotherapist in the therapeutic alliance space. Maxi is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta. She received a doctorate in Rehabilitation Science (2015) from the University of Alberta and was the inaugural Cy Frank postdoctoral fellow in impact assessment at Alberta Innovates, Canada. Her work on therapeutic alliance has drawn substantial attention, citations, and speaking engagements. In this chat, hopefully we can learn something about how to improve our communication from the larger perspective of person-focused care and building of the relationship.
