NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - You have not met everyone who is going to love you It is easy to think the worst about ourselves. One of the worst negative thoughts can be about how there are people out there who do not like you. You need to change the leading narrative in your brain and start focusing on the people who love you and who are going to love you. This podcast episo...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - You do you In the physical therapy profession, we think of ourselves last. As much as it’s wonderful that we are focused on being helpful to others, we also need to help ourselves. With that in mind, what does “you do you” actually mean for you? Honestly, I’m not an expert on this matter myself and I’m regularly asking myself this question. Liste...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Working with others is like dating I understand people wanting to be able to work with everybody. Not everyone is a good fit in general, so why would there be an exception in the workplace? I am saying this for anyone who was looking to find a partnership in business or practice. Don’t be hard on yourself if you’re having a hard time finding some...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - What it means when you take on a non PT/PTA job I wanted to talk about this topic in a very different way than how it is covered on social media. I can give full credit to this concept to my mentor Greg Todd, which helped me immensely as I started my own private practice specializing in treating dancers. If you are currently doing a non-PT or PTA...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - The power of nature Yes, I am referring to trees, leaves, plants, and other things outside that are known as nature. Lol. It is important for your mental health to be good in order to be better when treating your patients. Think about it: do you rehabilitate a dancer better when you’re happy or sad? Yes, that is a redundant question. This discuss...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - The “don’t do it this way, do it this way” advertising We receive ads all the time on social media and online in general. There are some advertisements that can really confuse you on what to do in your career as a dance physical therapist or physical therapist assistant. This ad is meant to help you identify what’s being delivered to you to make...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Stop asking people for research studies Woof. This podcast episode is meant to be very direct and to put an end to people asking other people to do work for them. In school, we are taught how to look up research studies. If you are given a title and the authors, you already have a Head Start. If you have to start from scratch, do the work. You di...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Blocking on Social Media for Mental Health Blocking on social media can seem like a very harsh thing to do. This podcast episode is to discuss how it helps your mental health. Sometimes there are things on social media that really start you down a negative rabbit hole in your head. Blocking people and things can really help you from getting stuck...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Sleep deprivation Sleep is very important. How often do you have conversations with your patients about sleep? Imagine going a week without a good night's sleep? Some dancers go through that or longer. Tune in to hear more on the topic.

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Should dance PT be open to some or all PTs/PTAs? I don’t think they should be up for debate at all. Work on not going to ask a doctor, a surgical doctor, if he/she/they have a background in dance. As we learned in physical therapy school, everything can be learned. Something might take more work, but at the end of the day you can learn it. People...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Natural healers - movement and food This is not a new concept for physical therapist or physical therapist assistance. I wanted to discuss these natural healers, food and movement, to reiterate the solution. I was just in the drugstore the other day and so many people were either buying and overheard multiple conversations of people relying on me...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Setting a work routine - for those self-employed Setting a work routine when you are working for yourself is not the easiest thing to do and to commit to. There is no one hovering over your shoulder telling you when you need to clock in and clock out. There is no one telling you to get specific work done. There’s no one telling you what work you...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - My research posts I actually don’t suspect many people listen to this podcast. This is for me to speak up about the posts I have done on social media about research. Unfortunately, people have not been kind and respectful in their response to me being of service to the profession.

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Retirement Did you graduate from PT or PTA school thinking about your retirement? Most of us do not because we’re looking at our student loans. That’s already enough stress. Planning for your retirement is very important and it’s something we all need to be thinking about. I would like every Dance PT professional to start thinking ahead like this...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Setting a morning routine Starting your day off right is essential as a physical therapy or physical therapist assistant clinician or private practice owner. Have you ever had a day where you just thought it was not gonna be a good one? In this podcast episode, I discuss what I do in my morning routine that has made the world of a difference for...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - My experience with limiting my time on social media It is very exciting to share my experience with limiting Thomas social media because I have found many benefits that I would like you to have as well. You do not need to do the exact same thing I suggest in this episode, but if any of what I do helps, please try it. Your mental health as a Dance...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Predictable stress is worse than unpredictable stress For our dancers, getting injured is very stressful. What’s even worse for them is knowing how long it will take them to recover. This podcast drives into conversations about healing time and how to best deliver it to your dancer patient. Sometimes it’s fast, sometimes it’s slow, and sometimes...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Response to an old bikini article I’m really late on this bandwagon, but I wanted to talk about that article that called out female medical practitioners for wearing bathing bikinis. It was such a blatantly sexist study that never needed to happen. We need to invest our research finances on more important topics.

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - People pleasing in physical therapy This is such an important podcast episode for all you Dance PT‘s and PTA‘s. People pleasing is an epidemic that doesn’t lead to good things many times because it puts you last. I need you to be energized, focused, motivated, and happy to better treat your dancer patience. Tune into this podcast episode to get g...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Mentorship - What you get when it is free This podcast is based on the common saying: you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, I want every Dance PT and PTA to have the right mentorship. If you base it solely on the cost being zero dollars, you are cutting yourself short. Mentorship is extremely important for everyone. Let me repeat that:...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Making yourself a monopoly hurts your dancer patients It’s time we start thinking more about our patients and less about ourselves. I think this is actually an issue in the physical therapy world where we’re concerned about looking impressive to other physical therapists. Look, I’m totally guilty of this myself and have to keep putting myself in...

NEW DANCE PT PODCAST EPISODE 🩰💃🏿🕺🏽🔥 🎤Topic - Low back pain I was super hesitant to make this podcast, but it came out like verbal diarrhea. To be super frank, I think I use the words diarrhea in the line above to try to scare away people who might judge me as I share some ways I help treat low back pain. I’m still having issues with judgy physical therapist and with that it makes me feel un...
