A Letter to Graduates
by
Lisa Mueller
It's hard for me to believe it has been four years since I graduated PT school. I remember working as a student with physical therapists who had been practicing for four or five years and looking at them as a source of information and experience. Now

Mentor or Sponsor?
by
Lisa Mueller
Since I've spent a lot of time in the past 18 months making changes in my own career and developing the content of the training and orientation program for new employees at my clinic, the concept of mentors has always been on my mind. Even when I graduated

I Tube, Do YouTube?
by
Lisa Mueller
Over the weekend I was reading the article for our staff journal club this week, a recent research paper investigating the effects of thoracic thrust manipulation (with non-thrust cervical mobilization) for the treatment of neck pain. As you may recall,

I Can Teach
by
Lisa Mueller
This weekend I taught a continuing education course with three other therapists. It took well over a year for us to organize the content, create the handouts and visual displays and market the course to get as many participants as possible. It was a fun

Mechanical Pain
by
Lisa Mueller
I worked with a therapist last week (setting up a new clinic in northern Wisconsin) who has many years of experience in PT. It was interesting to work alongside him and see his approach to patients and the sometimes immediate results his patients had

CE Course
by
Lisa Mueller
Last year I spent a lot of time preparing material to present at the Wisconsin PT spring conference and was disappointed when I learned the class was canceled the week prior due to low enrollment numbers. I worked with three other therapists for months

Strengthen your Strengths

Lisa Mueller
"Success is achieved by developing our strengths , not by eliminating our weaknesses." -- Marilyn vos Savant I just finished my performance review for 2012 at work. It's actually an enjoyable experience for myself as I like reflecting on the previous

Patient Handouts
by
Lisa Mueller
During my first clinical rotation as a student (which was a short, four-week orientation), my clinical instructor often gave me the task of finding research articles or handouts to give our patients. I distinctly remember working with one patient who

Sleeping
by
Lisa Mueller
When I first made my transition from acute care to outpatient orthopedic practice (just over a year ago), I studied for a while on the special tests, diagnoses and treatment techniques. Performing evaluations felt similar to being a student -- like there

Another Resolution?
by
Lisa Mueller
As I typed away my blog from last week, I wasn't very happy with my professional goals for 2013. In 2012, my professional goal was to transition from acute care practice into outpatient orthopedics, and I'm both happy and proud that I was able to make

New Year's Resolutions
by
Lisa Mueller
I haven't always made New Year's resolutions; in fact, I don't recall any resolutions through most of my high school and college years. I think I always just try to be a better person -- a better listener, a better friend, a better wife. Some years I

Direct Access Discussion
by
Lisa Mueller
As I've become more comfortable in my outpatient orthopedic setting, I've occasionally seen a few patients under direct access, maybe five to seven overall. I wasn't totally comfortable with it as first, since I was still unsure about the orthopedic practice

Journal Club
by
Lisa Mueller
When I was a physical therapy student, I often had to read research articles and analyze the study design, results and impact on physical therapy practice. Evidence-based practice was ingrained in each of my courses and throughout my clinical experiences.

Legal and Ethical Documentation
by
Lisa Mueller
I'm about halfway through with reading a book for work called Legal, Ethical and Practical Aspects of Patient Care Documentation: A Guide for Rehabilitation Professionals by Ronald W. Scott.* At my previous job I was the chair of the documentation committee,

Who Will You Vote For?
by
Lisa Mueller
Well, it's just about one month away from the Presidential election. Campaigning on both the Democratic and Republican sides is stronger than ever, as is the publicity for the first Presidential debate. It seems like every time I log onto Twitter or Facebook,
