As a dancer, I had never really thought about my balance or finding ways to strengthen it until after my first major knee surgery in my 30s. Even after years of physical therapy and rehabilitation, my turns are poor and my balance, particularly on one foot, is not great. You Read more…
As my dad has never had the best memory, even when he was younger, this is a topic that I’ve been curious to research, especially now that he’s in his 70s and showing the early signs of dementia. In particular, I wanted to see what science says about sites like Read more…
I will admit, this is a topic that I suggested due to personal experience. As my son has grown into toddlerhood and topped 20 pounds, and now that he is no longer in the basket that I can strap him into before putting it into the car, I have had Read more…
Every once in a while, I get to work on something in my own wheelhouse. (Un)fortunately, most of this post was already written. I merely searched to find a few newer articles; my source copy had been published about a month ago. That said, I’m glad I got to work Read more…

The first focused on why business owners should understand Read more…
This is another piece where I was more an editor than a writer. PTPN’s CEO and President, Michael Weinper, has more than 40 years of experience as a practice owner and business manager. We talked for about an hour about financial management and best practices for understanding your clinic’s bottom Read more…
OK, so this is more about my editorial skills than my writing skills; I had to take a script for an in-service presentation and adapt part of it into a different voice/tone for this blog entry. But given the topic, I was happy to have detailed source material as I’ve Read more…
I can’t believe it’s been five years since PTPN launched Physiquality, a health and wellness brand for its member physical therapists.
