Episode 286 | The Latest Evidence On Physical Therapists Ordering Diagnostic Imaging With Lance Mabry, PT, DPT

August 31, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MB

Dr. Lance Mabry did a very large study with 4,800 subjects on the topic of a physical therapist's ability to refer for musculoskeletal imaging. This research shows that most people that are using imaging skills are not PTs. So the concept of the overutilization of imaging is not really correct. The imaging is instead being used inappropriately. More than 28% of PTs are actually using all nine imaging skills routinely. So there is definitely a say when it comes to opening diagnostic imaging a...

June 15, 2022 07:00 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MB

In my profession of physical therapy, the lack of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer-specific education has given rise to deficiencies in our cultural competence and our humility. When deficiencies exist in a profession’s educational system, as well as its continued education system, it can create a climate of discrimination and disparity. This ultimately leads to decreased access to health and effective healthcare. In the context of chronic pain, which is what we discuss on th...

March 30, 2022 07:00 - 40 minutes - 36.6 MB

In this episode, we are discussing embodied cognition and the role of bodily processes in thought.

Many of these theories are rooted in the idea that the brain is the seat of cognition and views the brain as a CEO, which controls both thinking as well as our body. However, newer theories such as embodied cognition take a different perspective which emphasiz...
