Breathing Exercises For Those Affected By Respiratory Issues With Andy Sabatier, PT, DPT
Andy Sabatier, PT, DPT is doing tremendous work with patients in the ICU setting – helping them get back to function by focusing on breathing properly. And since Andy is one of the few PTs in this setting that is doing front-line work with COVID-19 patients, I figured it would be important to talk to him about how PTs can help those who are dealing with the symptoms of COVID-19 to help them overcome and recover faster by teaching proper breathing techniques and exercises. The message is timely and not typical of the PTO Club topics, but hopefully of great value to the listeners.

The Path To Tripling Production in 1 Year With Ben Larsen, PT, DPT
In 2019, Ben Larsen, PT, DPT, co-owner of the Teton Therapy Cheyenne Location, had great goals of increasing his number of total visits per week by year-end to well over 200. Little did he know that by making appropriate, time-honored decisions he would hit well over 300 visits per month come 2020! His path to success wasn’t based on a new treatment technique or referral source. Rather, as Nathan Shields and Ben discuss in the interview, Ben hired people that were in alignment and he implemented what he knew he should be implementing (things he learned from his consultants and coaches in the past), and started tracking stats and training his team (future leaders). Suddenly, patients started coming in greater numbers than he had ever seen before and he wasn’t treating most the time! A great story of small and simple actions generating great results.
