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 [https://ptonice.com/], Owner of Health HQ [https://healthhq.fit/], and coach at CrossFit Fenton [https://crossfitfenton.com/]. 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!

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. I came into this episode with so many questions and Maj Walter and Capt Ali delivered BIG TIME! If you or someone you know is interested in this career field or if you've never even looked into it, this episode will not disappoint. Take notes!  If you have further questions, you can reach out to Maj Walter at ewalt32@gmail.com.

Ep. 15 - Breathing Better w/ Dr. Eric Christensen

In this episode, I talk with owner and lead physical therapist at Chandler Physical Therapy, Dr. Eric Christensen. Eric talks about his journey to the PT profession and what led him to pursue small business practice ownership. Eric gives some amazing insights into why his ideal model for clinical practice keeps the patient at the center of care, and how emphasizing this relationship has paid off big time for his business. Eric is also the author of Breathe Better, a book designed to improve the way we breath and emphasize the importance of breathing for managing nearly all aspects of our health. We talk about the extent to which Eric uses breathing as an integral component to patient education and even intervention and treatment for various conditions he sees in the clinic!
