Send us a text Over this past year in-person manual therapy training has kind of disappeared. Maybe not entirely, but a pandemic has definitely affected how we teach and learn manual skills.

Ep. 115 - How to help your whole patient without drowning in the process - Dawn Hogh
Send us a text We learn how to treat patients after a cancer diagnosis from a PT standpoint - but do we fully consider how other factors impact our patients' progress? Yes, they may be participating in sessions, but do they have food, money to cover housing, a safe place to sleep? These factors affect our patients & their ability to live their best lives after a cancer diagnosis. But how can we possibly address these issues when we have so much on our plate? By not trying to do it all. Community resources & organizations can help our patients & thus our ability to help our plans of care. And we aren't using them enough, mainly because we don't know they're out there. Dawn Hogh of Cancer CAREpoint explains exactly how these services help patients, how we can help patients access them, & how to find these resources in our own communities.

Send us a text What can a beautiful tiny island nation teach us about OncoPT? A lot. Most importantly how to ensure patients get the care they desperately need when there aren't many OncoPTs around. Here in the US, we tend to focus on the big urban cancer centers & how to make them better. But we can't forget about our colleagues & patients in rural areas or even those in health care deserts, without access to multidisciplinary centers. Ameera Al Derazi is a physiotherapist in Bahrain (check out the map below) who is leading the OncoPT charge & crushing it. She shares how she got started, how she's helping patients now as one of the few OncoPTs in Bahrain, & how she's keeping her waiting list short so she can help more patients in a timely manner.

We talk about lymph node surgery, seromas, cording, breast cancer removal procedures, & what we as OncoPTs need to know when working with patients after breast surgery. _______________Writing your oncology specialty exam case report is a huge undertaking.And it’s easy to make silly mistakes that can derail your entire writing process.That’s why you need my brand new FREE masterclass: The 3 Step Framework for a Finished Case ReportSave your seat at TheOncoPT.com/frameworkFollow TheOncoPT on Instagram.Follow TheOncoPT on TikTok.Follow TheOncoPT on Twitter.

Today's episode is slightly ironic because here in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter - in my backyard, it's cold & sprinkling. BUT - today's episode is Ep. 76, which is my interview with Josh Levin, President of LympheDIVAs, on summertime lymphedema management. While it may seem like an out-of-place episode for this time of year, a lot of the skin care principles we discuss are just as important during the dry & cold winter months.

Ep. 105 - Tough Lessons Learned from 2020
Send us a text A lot could be said about 2020. I think an overarching theme is one dumpster fire after another. But it hasn't all been a complete disaster. Even some of the things that totally derailed the momentum we had coming into this year have become exceptional teaching moments for OncoPT. I just wish we didn't have to learn them this way. Regardless, it's almost the end of 2020, almost the beginning of 2021, so I'm looking for a clean-ish start with some fresh perspective. Because yes, we could continue to gnash our teeth & stamp our feet (we certainly still have a long way to go). OR, we could salvage some of the plans we had & move confidently in the direction of the new year, with the stuff we learned in 2020. So what did this cluster of a year teach us? LOTS. Such as... Healthcare jobs are not guaranteed... In the ways we've always thought. They're there but what happened to them? We can't control what happens. Despite working in oncology, I still like to think I'm in control of a lot. What a joke. But we can control what happens between us & our patient. AKA we can control how we respond to patient scenarios & ultimately make their OncoPT experience a positive one. Most importantly: what are we going to do with this knowledge? That's what will define us in 2021. Have you joined TheOncoPT Online Community Facebook group yet?

Send us a text Oncology physical therapy is simply the coolest - we get to help patients after arguably the worst diagnosis imaginable. We see patients throughout the cancer care continuum, even until the end of their lives. It's a beautiful, sad, frustrating, wonderful opportunity to share this sacred space with these patients. But, we often have to jump right back into the whirlwind without really getting to grieve or process the loss of life because the next patient needs us too. Our big hearts draw us to oncology patient care - this isn't a field where you can be only half-passionate about your work. It's because of that big heart that burnout is so very real. We don't always get the opportunity to honor our patients' memories the way we want, so we're going to try something: _______________Writing your oncology specialty exam case report is a huge undertaking.And it’s easy to make silly mistakes that can derail your entire writing process.That’s why you need my brand new FREE masterclass: The 3 Step Framework for a Finished Case ReportSave your seat at TheOncoPT.com/frameworkFollow TheOncoPT on Instagram.Follow TheOncoPT on TikTok.Follow TheOncoPT on Twitter.

Ep. 88 - Shared Decision Making: a powerful patient perspective with Terri Coutee
Send us a text We see so many patients every day, every week - we're hopefully helping thousands of patients throughout our careers as OncoPTs. But what can sometimes get lost is that patients often only see one of us: one oncologist, one (or two surgeons, depending), one physical therapist. We know our stuff because we see it all the time! Not the case for patients, & they can often feel like they're being thrown from one treatment to the next, without much patient input. What is crucial & missing many times is shared decision making with patients. Yes, we as OncoPTs can help make this part of the standard care for patients with cancer. How? Glad you asked. _______________Writing your oncology specialty exam case report is a huge undertaking.And it’s easy to make silly mistakes that can derail your entire writing process.That’s why you need my brand new FREE masterclass: The 3 Step Framework for a Finished Case ReportSave your seat at TheOncoPT.com/frameworkFollow TheOncoPT on Instagram.Follow TheOncoPT on TikTok.Follow TheOncoPT on Twitter.

Send us a text As OncoPTs, we want what's best for our patients. We'll do whatever it takes to care for our patients, giving 100% to serve.

So what do we do to take care of ourselves in order to take better care of our patients? In this episode, we're going over 4 strategies to help you take care of you. Take care of your body.
