Brown show we're up at champion Pt performance Mike's give it up Dan Pope Dave Tilley Lenny Macrina answering all your physical therapy fitness sports performance career anything you guys want to talk about head erect head to Mike Ronald calm I click on that podcast link and ask us more great questions today as usual we have a great group of clinical students with us today that help us with the questions Lenny who do we have today you have a plethora of students bright red look at me we have em in Georgia from trying University we have ryan johnson in the middle here wearing his blue this Friday is Thursday blue from winston-salem State University most of our listeners listening to this we have Andrew King from Harvard University what's the nickname upon you are real hard you learn like that much then what's there my mascot the Hawks the boring that's what I meant yeah and we also have Austin riffraff from Franklin Pierce from Aladdin from the movie Aladdin the home the one in Arizona the one-day establishment all right what do we have for a question today who's up we got from Sarasota I love the content on this podcast and thanks for taking my question I'm a DBT student about to graduate in a few months I feel that my school has done a great job teaching how to identify and diagnose pathology but is not given as much when it comes to treatment and program do you have any advice resources examples etc on how I can better understand how to program treatment for a person coming to PT alright that's a pretty common question I bet right like so done a really good job with diagnosis especially medical diagnosis now too I think we're getting a better understanding of that as we're getting into the doctor to physical therapy and direct access and all that stuff so a really good job with Diagnostics but now you're confused with how to develop a treatment plan students quickly I don't know King what do you think do you agree with this question like how do you feel do you feel like you are prepared we just suck on TI the king the king the king what are you I mean do you guys feel like my only go up and go in order there was anybody prepared well for treatment I think our school did a great job preparing us why go ha cuz it was a good idea of what to do like initially versus advanced-intermediate so kind of where to start what patients can tolerate and how to progress as and what to look for to progress that so that sounds like that sounds like it's pretty good right there understanding I think that's the basics of treatment is understanding like how to start where to start how to progress I like that that's a good old look like you guys I agree with the question like my school folks Allah don't like the diagnosis did a great job and we learned the basic like started interventions but after that it wasn't where I learned all mine was like the clinical experience less bless of actual in class besides like your basic starter so that's a good point so maybe maybe like you know this is another good reason to make sure you have good clinicals what about you guys I think just my experience as a strength coach for the last four years is that probably helps too because you already understood how to develop things like strength and power mobility yeah yeah and I think our program which is heavy on like exercise prescription stuff like that and we're able to take like courses for advanced interventions or learn more programming and things like that I think of sports elective too so I think that's part of the problem is we don't have like a minimum basis in college on like what you need to learn right so I think a lot of people are very good at Diagnostics and you spend a lot of time with that and then with experience you get better with with treatments right so all right where do we start I guess is the question on on how to help somebody like where do you go from a new grad on how do you figure out what you do with treatments you know I mean I don't know I get we have a million directions we can go because anybody have initial advice you want to start with and then we'll go from there I'll start a little bit I think part of it is that you have to have a copulation in mind right so for us we all have specific issues so if you have like six year old that doesn't want to get back to anything in particular that maybe any old intervention will help for the low back pain if you have someone's low back pain that's trying to factor let's say a you know parallel to yourself along those lines there's a very specific set of exercises we start with and work your way up over the course of time at least for me and my nation my population I think Evan kind of hit it really well I actually found that most of students I've worked with in the past are not very good at exercise prescription and they're very good at kind of the basic stuff when they have to advance they just have no idea how to do that right so for me I think it's really important to learn the basis of strength conditioning right and learn how to work with people from that perspective so any resource from from there would be will be helpful I think right so I I guess you know and that's that's maybe one approach if you're feeling insecure about your knowledge on how to help you with that is let's start with that maybe instead of being so diagnostic specific what you do is you start to like think in your mind all right what how do I help people well we have to work on mobility we have to work on strength we have to work on there on muscular control we have to work on in turns of power or whatever maybe you have all these domains right and you start thinking about each one of these what do I have four strategies to improve mobility improve strength improve power right and then seek each one of those kind of buckets out maybe that's like a good way to start based on what Dan said yeah I would agree I think looking back onto what I was kind of most insecure about was the initial treatment or plan of care after like somebody has it going to injury so I really didn't know how to help like somebody was like a post-op joint for me or stuff I felt a little bit like how do I touch like I'm gonna hurt you and I fought protocol stuff so there was like that piece of the medical side but then I have didn't have a great mount the foundation for strength conditioning coming out of school and so I felt like that was where people were like you know necessarily have surgery but they were hurting me Strank programs I didn't know how to program well so for me it was just finding mentorship for both of those things cuz I knew that that was what I was kind of we cast weak at mostly so finding people online I think is really important if you don't have good finding people online like I followed you guys course and I felt like I didn't have that a neat like immediate post-op problem like solved with my clinical education so that was very helpful in line and then strengthen I think I just shadowed strength coaches yeah and you kind of learned that way a little bit do that I you know I you know I guess when it comes down to is a lot of times is like we get caught up in the diagnosis and not what's right in front of you and you start saying well what do I want to do for treatment for patella femoral pain instead of taking a step back and just kind of like figuring out what's wrong with the person right and that's kind of like our approach a champion which we try to do is we try to look at them more holistically and then just kind of come up with a gun checklist of things they need so now some say that they definitely all starts with your assessment your evaluation part of you know the evaluation assessment that we use is like a moving screen and I think we all kind of use it to find out what they can tolerate in terms of what exercises they're going to be able to tolerate so there's a squat and lunge step down things like that so if someone comes in with knee pain and they can tolerate a squat and they can't tolerate a single leg step down and I'm probably gonna have them do some squats and build up to the single I step down so I think that helps guide your treatment plan you find out what they can tolerate day one and kind of build upon that and you know progress them over time basically so I plan I think to you know the point of what Mike said here is that we have like a systemized approach err of how we look at people right and when do when somebody comes to us with likes a shoulder pain right we're going to evaluate the shoulder pain and try to figure out if we can understand why and come up with a diagnosis but that doesn't mean that that is every we do that is part of it the other thing we do is we try to figure out what suboptimal that maybe put them in that position right so maybe things that we can increase their functional capacity not just perhaps work on their shoulder pain right so it's almost like we have like two buckets of treatments hairs let's help with their their pain right let's that the reason why they're here their injury and the precautions and and the strategies that are involved with that and that's kind of what you learn in school right and then the secondary part is okay but let's take a big step back all right they have knee pain all right well I know there's things I can do to help them with their pain okay good well what else can I do oh they can't do a step down why can't they do a step down what happens and then you you figure out a strategy with that oh then I'll have any ankle dorsiflexion oh they they're their hips are weak or whatever it may be right and you find these things you create this checklist of suboptimal things and then at the end you take a step back and you figure out what you have right and when you're young and your student you can have a crazy checklist there's gonna be things all over the place right you're gonna have all these things then what you need to do is just figure out like what's the most impactful things what's the thing that is gonna give the most bang for the buck initially and start with that and I think that's kind of like our big strategy anybody anybody like I think that's a good strategy to learn what about when it comes into like the actual treatment what do you guys do for you know your programing do you have anything specific you guys want to add but I just want to add that I was fortunate when I did my student it sounds like he's a steward or she's a student right like already in a DPG program and probably going out on clinicals to make sure you set your clinicals up at spots that historically have probably a bigger staff when you can bounce ideas off different pts and just a staff that is respectful that has a you know has a grouping of pts that you really look up to and are known and they're you know find their facility are known in their community because I was fortunate I got I did an internship at HealthSouth with my guy Kevin Wilk and probably ten other pts that I could bounce ideas off of and and get in their minds and pick their brains and just observe from a distance what they're doing I think that was very helpful that's how I got a lot of my base of exercise was just watching other pts everybody son's hockey cats each other and everybody's doing the same stuff because it's you just follow what the other pcs are doing in your facility so as a student you go on your internships you got to have that in your head that that's one of your goals is to get as many exercises under your you know in your mind and in your notebook further your future so I would definitely you know try to really do that I think these guys are hopefully doing that - they just observing all five of us as we go and hopefully they are just putting you know little notes in their head mental notes of what they could do for their patients in the future so that's one strategy that I've used I'm always copying dad whatever dad does I do of course yes I was gonna go back to what Mike was saying about the program I think this is a little bit challenging because if you're trying to work with an athlete that once get back to a higher level right let's say I have a kilise tendon problems if you look at some of the killings tenon literature it says okay do some sort of Achilles tendon strengthening somewhere between twice a day and like every other day right so I think what happens is that you get a pretty good idea of what the baseline should be right but the the high level stuff is what's challenging for physical therapist to figure out how to get back to some program perspective what you kind of said is figure out the needs so this person won't be able to run five times a week okay great that's awesome five times a week 30 minutes right now we're doing three days a week where the calf raises right how do i bridge that gap so you know maybe like three months online I'm running five days a week and then you start working backwards and just progressing them slowly over the course time and that's probably been the way I've done most of my programming to help people get to a higher level I think that's great as a PT we often focus on what to do right now based on their limitations and what we don't think of as the end right so Dan saying start with the end in mind and then figure out a plan that builds them there I like that I think the only other thing I would add you know is that you know we we have a really systemized approach on how we work with people here we've done this over years because we figured out the steps it takes to help people get better so you know yes like a rotator cuff tear or Achilles tear something you're gonna have very specific things you do but generally for people with pain that kind of come in and they don't have like a specific type diagnosis or pathology you just have hip pain knee pain shoulder pain whatever it may be right we we follow a systemized approach and what we do is we try to break it down into three things we talked about this a lot this isn't our champion performance certification thing but it's mobility control and low right and that's how we program when you just base it off those three things all the time and it goes in that order and they overlap right but we have to say ok what mobility restrictions they have that we need to address great once that's kind of tackled or at least we're working on that what do we need for control and for control this is like the typical physical therapy right it's the isolated exercises like maybe you have an isolated weakness of this muscle they need dynamic Stability of this joint they have neuromuscular control deficits of this right that's control and then the third is then they have to load and that's what we load the movement patterns that they need to get back into so when in doubt come up with their checklist of things that are suboptimal and then can follow that progression mobility control and load and when you do that that's almost like your your blueprint to develop a program for anybody right it's actually easy to follow a post-operative protocol right because it kind of lays it out for you it's the person that comes in with shoulder pain you know you can help them get out of their pain and then send them on their way but they're probably gonna come back into pain because you didn't really fix the underlying issues that they have with them and that's how we kind of tackle those programs so it's gonna take time it's going to take experience but I think the more you practice that the more the more you should get better at that so great question another good one if you have anything like that just head to Mike Ronald comm and click on that podcast link and you can fill out the form and we'll see on the next episode
