What and why do chiropractors do what they do and how is it different than other methods of intervention you may receive? Strat and I cover that question and more in this conversation, including the original theory behind chiropractic care, his personal views, and what some of the current evidence suggests about chiropractic care.

Dr. Stratton Poulson is the owner of Apex Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas, and the founder of Apex Chiropractic Education, an international seminar company that provides in-person and online courses to improve the hands-on skills of students and seasoned clinicians.

Dr. Jennifer Stone , PT, DPT, OCS, PHS is a current instructor for Evidence in Motion (EIM). The pelvic floor may be the missing link your patient or client needs to finally clear out that persistent low back, SI, or hip pain. The best part is that you don't need to take a bunch of courses or learn how to do internal exams to begin addressing those limitations. Dr. Jennifer Stone demystifies how the pelvic floor can be screened, assessed, and begin to be addressed in orthopedic settings. Obviously, if pelvic floor therapy interests you, you should of course seek out continuing education to gain the highest learning available to help your patients, but there may be strategies you can begin to introduce now that could make a world of difference. Happy to have you!

With over 15 years of experience, Jared Countess, known as Professor Corrective, is a trainer who specializes in seeing the body as a unified system - not separate and distinct, but an organized and highly connected system. It could be that you or your patients are continuing to have pain because there are dysfunctions found outside the location of pain that are not being addressed. It could be that the area of pain was never the problem to begin with, but rather where the system broke down because of dysfunction elsewhere that overloaded the area that experiences pain. We dig into this and similar ideas in this insightful episode.

It can be hard to know the best way to move forward and continue to have real purpose after PT school . In this episode, Mark and I condense what you need to know about fellowships to help you better understand if it may be a good path for you, as well as the types of fellowships available and the importance of pursuing continued education.

He is a fellowship trained physical therapist and currently serves as the Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) fellowship program director for Bellin College as well as faculty for their DPT program.

Police and first responders are a special group of patients when it comes to physical therapy. They deal with high stress and schedules that may affect their ability to participate in physical therapy in your standard treatment models. This episode will highlight different aspects of law enforcement that will help you better understand what they are going through as you work to provide the highest quality of care. Brian Schmitz is a fellowship trained physical therapist who owned his own practice until decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. He is still licensed and is currently working on research to better understand how to prevent and treat common injuries experienced by law enforcement. He is happy to collaborate with other people interested or pursuing the same goals.
