		<description>I agree with the article and the comments.  We have over the past 3 years gone to non-provider status, then to just medicare, and now to cash based only and find it much more transformative for us and for our clients.  I feel it&#039;s important to have a product, our services, that are valuable to our clients.  If we can shift to a cash based practice, the onus is on us to have a skill set that helps people in efficient and effective ways.  it&#039;s great to hear others are doing this as well.

		<description>Agree with Jerry... &quot;the reimbursement pendulum will NOT swing back towards higher payments&quot;...

All growth HAS to come from the patient side.  Call it cash pay if you want but there is NO MORE MONEY on the government (Medicare) side or from commercial insurance payers.

Thanks,

Tim Richardson, PT</description>

		<description>I believe that patients often end up in the hands of personal trainers instead of physical therapists for two main reasons. 

First, physical therapists tend to be over scheduled which makes it difficult to provide hands-on care, progress exercise programs, and educate the patient. As a physical therapist, I have wasted too much time re-teaching exercises and printing or drawing figures.  We may not have control over our patient schedule, but we can unlock wasted time.

Secondly, physical therapists are movement specialists. But this doesn&#039;t always mean that we are always up-to-date on current exercises. Having an easy to use database of online  videos would help expose therapists to forgotten or new exercises.  

In an attempt to progress our field, I have designed an online physical therapy exercise library composed entirely of professionally filmed videos. 

goPT allows therapists to create protocols, save favorite exercises, and quickly search through a cross-referenced library using dynamic search tools.  

I have put a end to clicking through boxes. Simply begin to type an exercise, position, body region, piece of equipment, injury, or sport in order to produce a list of exercises.  

Our clients and patients are technology dependent. They use it to order coffee, manage their calendar, and pay their bills. However, most physical therapists are still handing out sheets of paper.  

Check out goPT and see how technology can progress our field.

		<description>I loved this podcast! I&#039;m a pre-PT student who&#039;s also very interested in pediatrics and am currently work at a school as a behavior therapist for autistic children. We focus on a lot of similar things that the school based physical therapists focus on as well, being functional in a school setting. I deal more with behavior, having to interact with other children, knowing how to ask for a break, and being compliant in a classroom. So cool! I definitely want to pursue this in the future.</description>
