Phil Tygiel has been a business owner, two-time President of the Arizona Physical Therapy Association, and has been recognized numerous times nationally for his service, including being named a Catherine Worthingham Fellow of the APTA.
In this interview, we talk a little about how you can be involved in service. Phil was both a clinical practice owner, clinician, and an active member of the House of the Delegates early in his career, during which time he was involved in encouraging diagnosis by physical therapists as well as direct access initiatives.
In this episode, he gives some historical perspective, his thoughts on manual therapy, and insight into how to lobby legislators for our profession.

For our podcast's finale, Seth Peterson interviews the authors of the book "Movers and Mentors" Bryan Guzski and Tim Reynolds. Bryan and Tim set out on a very similar journey to this podcast during the preparation of their book a few years ago. What did they find? How do the themes from their book relate to the themes from this podcast?
Instead of summarizing key themes from Season 1.5, which we did after the first season, we've decided to discuss some of the broader themes with Tim and Bryan, who will also detail what themes they took away from their book interviewing 75 successful clinicians.
This is the end of the podcast, but it doesn't have to be the end of your journey to improve in the clinic. Check out the links below to stay involved and keep the fire burning.

No matter what area of physical therapy you have focused - clinical practice, research, private practice, leadership, or academia - you've probably heard of Tim Flynn.
That's because Tim Flynn, PT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, FAPTA has touched all of those areas of practice - and done so at a high level - something that is extremely rare. He is probably best known for being one of the figureheads of the evidence-based practice movement in physical therapy and for his research on spinal manipulation. But in this interview, you'll hear how Tim managed to do all of that while also starting his own private practice and being elected as the President of AAOMPT. You'll also hear about his passion for clinical practice and vision for the future of physical therapy and healthcare as a whole.

When asked by one of the members of UC Davis' Pain Fellowship what makes him different as a clinician, Tim McGonigle, PT, FAAOMPT replied, "I listen with my heart." Tim grew up with a stutter and later began practicing meditation, which he thinks may have helped him develop an ability to be present with the patient, develop greater compassion, and "use all of his senses" in treatment. The time that Tim has been engaged in patient care has been a while - over 40 years. A longtime partner of Michael Moore (who we interviewed on Season 1, Episode 9) at Folsom Physical Therapy and their long-term program.
In this interview, Tim reflects on his career path being one of the first to undergo a residency in the United States to now being the only US member on the board of the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept and still practicing in the clinic.

This is the recap of our 3-part "Communication Series" that went live on our Facebook group Mindful Clinicians. In this short recap, Seth recaps some of the key themes in communication, brings in key quotes from all of the interviewees (John Woolf, PT, PhD(c), ATC, COMT, Matt Erb, PT, and Maxi Miciak, PT, PhD), and suggests how being more mindful in our clinical practices might be able to pull all of this together.

We are wrapping up our communication series with Maxi Miciak, PhD. Maxi Miciak is a rockstar physiotherapist in the therapeutic alliance space. Maxi is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta. She received a doctorate in Rehabilitation Science (2015) from the University of Alberta and was the inaugural Cy Frank postdoctoral fellow in impact assessment at Alberta Innovates, Canada. Her work on therapeutic alliance has drawn substantial attention, citations, and speaking engagements. In this chat, hopefully we can learn something about how to improve our communication from the larger perspective of person-focused care and building of the relationship.

Mike Roger's story is unlike anything else we've have on the podcast. During his time in physical therapy, Mike traveled to London to spend time with James Cyriax, taught with John Mennell, took two programs in Norway, started one of the country's first residency programs, and was a founding fellow of AAOMPT. Then, he left physical therapy altogether. Eventually he would return - and fall in love with physical therapy all over again.
In this podcast, Mike recounts his first time hearing about physical therapy, his first day in the clinic time traveling outside of the country to learn, and starting one of the country's first residency programs. During his life, Mike has had several brushes with death, and today is still a practicing clinician after over 40 years of clinical practice.

This is the 2nd in a 3-part "Communication Series." This interview was with Matt Erb, PT, Associate Clinical Director for The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and owner of Embody Your Mind. In the interview, Matt will provide some of his thoughts in communicating around some difficult topics (trauma, etc) as well as how to cultivate humility and wisdom in our practices.

This is Part I of a live interview I did with John Woolf in our group "Mindful Clinicians." I apologize for the audio, which was a little rough on my end, especially in the first half of the interview.
In this Communication Series, the goal is to help guide clinicians to more effective ways of thinking about and relating to patients. One of the things that just isn't discussed in great detail in physical therapy is communication - and how aspects of how our interaction with the patient can impact the outcome of our treatment.
In this episode, I interviewed John Woolf, PT, PhD(c), ATC, COMT. John has an interesting story. He started out as the head athletic trainer and sports medicine for the University of Arizona and ending up doing a PhD in psychology. A lot of his expertise centers around communicating with patients within a relationship-centered model of care. In this episode, we cover everything from relationship-centered care to narrative medicine to motivational interviewing.

If you didn't listen to Part I of my interview with Eileen, go back and listen to that. In this part of the interview, Eileen talks about her travels to Norway, what she did when she returns, and how she ended up starting the first residency program in physical therapy while still in her twenties. Eileen talks about what she does now, which might be surprising, and how she ended up finding success as an expert in that area of health.
Finally, I ask Eileen about her recommendations for the average clinician and her perspectives on the future of physical therapy. For someone that had a monumental impact on the development of post professional training in physical therapy, her thoughts about the future of physical therapy may surprise you.

In her early twenties, Eileen Vollowitz would end up teaching at Maggie Knott's program in Vallejo and by her late twenties, she would start the first residency program in physical therapy. In Part I of my interview with Eileen, she tells us how all of that almost never happened.
After the end of the first season, I had multiple people reach out urging me to interview Eileen. She is an honorary fellow of AAOMPT and was integrally involved in the development of postprofessional training in the US. I'm calling this Season 1.5. I will slowly release just a couple of interviews with physical therapists who have excelled in clinical practice and who I didn't get a chance to interview in the first season.

Lynda Woodruff, PT, PhD spent her life breaking barriers and challenging the status quo. This podcast is unique in several ways. For one, our podcast has focused on clinicians and this is the first we've done on someone who spent the majority of their career in academia. But I think you'll agree, Lynda's story is too good not to be told. At 13, she was one of only two students to integrate EC Glass High School in Lynchburg, VA. In this podcast, you'll hear audio from Martin Luther King Jr's speech that day at her school. You'll also hear from Dr. Charlene Portee, one of Lynda's mentees--and from Lynda herself by way of an interview she did as part of APTA's oral histories back in 2002. Lynda passed away in 2018, but through her interview and life story we were able to get a handle on some concepts that just might bring out the rebel in us all.

For the last episode, we're compiling some of the common themes about the future - both concerns and hopes - discussed by some of the leaders we interviewed. It's clear that we've come a long way 100 years since the beginning of physical therapy in the United States, but it's also clear that there are some major challenges looming ahead.

We're at the end of these interviews and it's time to reflect on some of the lessons learned from the trailblazers and leaders interviewed so far. This will be the first in a series of brief episodes reflecting on the season, which will be called "Short Reflections."
For the first of these episodes, the focus will be on personal growth. Our interviews have focused on the mindset and approaches these individuals took early on in their careers. In this episode, Seth reviews some on the common themes - so that we can apply those to our own lives.

This episode is a recording from a live event we had in our group, Mindful Clinicians.
Gregg Johnson is the co-founder of the Institute of Physical Art, a continuing education company that has been teaching around 100 courses across the country a year for decades. If that sounds familiar, it's because Gregg's wife Vicky was on our podcast in Episode 2.
The focus of this interview was to get Gregg's thoughts on thorny clinical questions. We touch on how physical therapists can remain clinicians later into their careers, how to integrate recent evidence into your clinical practice, and how to approach patients and exercise prescription. -
In the field of physical therapy, Stanley Paris PT, PhD, FAPTA is a living legend. There's no one better to be interviewed for our penultimate episode.
In fact, many of the guests on this podcast traced their inspiration back to Stanley. The impact he has had on physical therapy - from teaching across the country, normalizing manipulation, starting private practices, and launching the first private physical therapy school - has been profound.
In this episode, Stanley reviews his life story, what caused him to be so driven, and the dark side of that drive. At 84 years old, Seth also asks Stanley to look into the future and where he thinks physical therapy should focus over the next 100 years.

On his way to try and walk on at the University of Oklahoma, 1.5 hours south of Folsom, CA, Michael realized it was the furthest away from home he had ever been in his life. Michael eventually succeeded and made the teams in football and wrestling at the Division I program.
Not having confidence in his science aptitude, Michael initially planned to major in history before switching to physical therapy at the last minute. He would end up switching to physical therapy and would do more than travel a few hours south of Folsom - he would train halfway around the world. Today, Michael is one of the founding fellows of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT), winner of numerous professional awards, and a clinician who continues to practice today, at 72 years old.
Over and over again, Michael had grit in the face of initial doubt. In this podcast, Michael describes his story of perseverance, experiences training with Maggie Knott and Freddie Kaltenborn, and some of the thoughts he has on what physical therapists - and their profession - need to do in the future.

When Joe Farrell, PT, M App Sci, DPT, FAAOMPT, FAPTA graduated from physical therapy school, residency programs in the United States didn't exist. So, motivated by a physical therapist he learned from early in practice, Joe set off to learn in Australia - where he would stay for 2 years.
Soon after returning, Joe would be recruited to the Kaiser Orthopedic Manual Therapy Residency program and begin his own clinic. When the director of the program asked Joe to attend a meeting of the now 8 residency program directors, he did - and would end up getting elected as the first president of their new Academy - AAOMPT.
Joe is one of the few physical therapists who have been a clinician for over 40 years while also being heavily involved in leadership. On this show, he shares the perspective that kept him going so long and what issue is still keeping him engaged today.

Growing up in a suburb of St. Louis, Shirley was expected to never give up. When she decided that she wanted to go to physical therapy school at Washington University, she persisted. Later, Shirley would not give up when faced with challenging questions about neurological patients in the clinic. This would lead her into a PhD program and eventually vault her into a faculty position at her alma mater. When she came up with the idea of aligning our professional identity with movement, Shirley didn't give up.
40 some-odd years later, Shirley's vision for the profession was partially realized. She continues to have ideas about where physical therapy should go in the future and what things we should jettison on the way.
