10 Words to Use to Enhance Your In-Service Presentation to Your Therapy Department

 

Carol Loria, President ERI:

Use emotion words and logic words. 

Use some of these words if they are appropriate to your content and comfortable for you:  

 Emotion words such as instinct, felt, reaction, sense, confident. These words are most helpful in describing clinical situations or patient responses.

In Service TrainingLogic words such as research, study, evidence, substantiate, proof. It goes without saying that these words are used to support the theoretical framework or approach that you are presenting.

I hope that you are feeling more confident by now.

 

Stay tuned; next time we’ll be talking about how to bring your in-service to a thoughtful and inspiring conclusion.

Therapies in the School Conference – Time Well Spent

As the Education Resources team are coming back down to earth from another amazing conference, I wanted to share this wonderful posting I just received from Kathryn, who has attended  the Therapies in the School conference for many years.

It was, yet again, so wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and to hear about what has been happening in your school systems. Wheels are already in motion for 2017!!

GUEST BLOGGER: Kathryn Biel

For me, the deadline is November 30th. Ever three years, by November 30th, I have to report to the state of New York and indicate that I’ve had 36 hours of continuing education in the past three years. The simple breakdown is 12 hours per year, because, let’s face it, no one wants to try to cram 36 hours into the last few months.

Continuing education is one of those love-hate things that we all have to do. We hate the logistics—time off from work, travel, time away from family. And there’s nothing worse than juggling our daily lives only to go sit in a course that’s a waste of time. On the other hand, I love well-done continuing education. There’s something about learning that I love. I find it invigorating and stimulating. It’s probably no wonder that I’m drawn to working in the schools—I love being a part of the educational environment and want to impart on others the joy that learning brings for me.

For me, the timing of the annual Therapies in the School Conference (the third week in November) falls right into the love-hate thing. This year, my Friday sessions took a hit, and my schedule didn’t allow for make-ups. And, I host Thanksgiving every year, and cleaning my house takes several weeks (cleaning is not a strength of mine).

But for seven of the past eight years, I’ve gotten up freakishly early and driven almost three hours out to the conference. And for seven of the past eight years, I know the logistics, the missed sessions, the planning ahead for the kids, the cleaning to follow—they’re all worth it. What I tell my supervisors (and anyone who will listen, frankly) is that the Therapies in the School Conference is the best conference I’ve ever attended. Even after working in this field for seventeen years, I still learn at this conference. I learn so much. And the best part is that it is 100% applicable to my current job.

After the conference, that purple book accompanies me to treatment sessions and into meetings. I email people about research presented. I educate teachers and principals and parents about the things I’ve learned. I try new things with my kids. As is the purpose of continuing education, I am a better therapist for attending this conference.

If you haven’t yet attended the annual Therapies in the School Conference, you should consider it for next year. If you’ve attended the conference, what is your favorite part? What did you learn? What would you like to learn?

I plan on continuing to review my course materials, as well as view the online course offerings from the break-out sessions I was unable to attend. It sort helps with that now being able to clone myself.

Now if I could just figure out a way to get my house cleaned while I’m at the conference … maybe next year.

EXCITING NEWS! Internationally Renowned Mary Massery Joins the Education Resources Faculty

We are absolutely thrilled to be able to bring you Mary Massery’s course: If you Can’t Breath, You Can’t Function. 

This course will challenge the practitioner to make a paradigm shift: connecting breathing mechanics and postural control with management of trunk pressures. 

[caption id="attachment_3785" align="alignright" width="150"]Mary Massery Mary Massery PT, DPT, DSc[/caption]

As a new graduate, Mary noticed that her colleagues perceived the cardiopulmonary system as primarily a “medical” problem area. She embarked on what has become a career-long mission to change the way that therapists look at respiration.

Through her extensive treating, teaching, writing, consulting, and mentoring, she has challenged therapists internationally to recognize that every muscle of the trunk has a dual role in respiration and the postural control of movement.

Thus, Mary has insisted that the cardiopulmonary system cannot be evaluated and treated separately from issues pertaining to motor performance; that breathing must be viewed as part of the natural interactions that occur between the sensory-motor system and the cardiopulmonary system, rather than as separate occurrences.

Through her model of postural control (Soda Pop Can Model), Mary links breathing mechanics with motor and physiologic behaviors (a multi-system perspective). Research demonstrating the role of vocal folds as postural stabilizers, extending the concept of “core stability” from the vocal folds on the top of the trunk to the pelvic floor on the bottom will be presented. Numerous interventions will be presented that use positioning and ventilatory strategies to optimize motor performance. Neuromotor breathing retraining techniques and manual assistive cough techniques will be the focus of treatment labs. Multiple patient cases will be presented throughout the course. The emphasis of the course will be on developing practical, quick clinical solutions for pediatric and adult patients in all practice settings.

Dr. Massery has been invited to give over 800 professional presentations in 49 US states, 9 Canadian provinces, and 15 countries worldwide, including more than 100 presentations for the American Physical Therapy Association, and a full-day post-conference program at the World Congress of Physical Therapy in Singapore.  

Dr. Massery has received the American Physical Therapy Association’s highest clinical award, The Florence Kendall Practice Award, honoring one’s “outstanding and enduring contributions to the practice of physical therapy” and the honorary Linda Crane Memorial Lecture. She has been honored as Outstanding Alumnus of the Year by each of her 3 alma maters. And in 2016, she was awarded Northwestern University’s Alumnae Research Achievement Award.  Mary continues to maintain a private practice in Chicago, specializing in breathing and postural dysfunction.

Mary Massery has developed all of the courses that she teaches. She is currently developing faculty to be primary instructors and we are thrilled to welcome her prodigy; Nechama Karman,
