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,...
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. B...
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...

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 ...
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 aver...
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.

She is an honorary fellow of AAOMPT and was integrally involved in the development of postprofessional training ...
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 s...

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 t...
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...

She would eventually come back to the United States and would soon be at the center of sweeping advances in the pr...
