I have been very excited about this interview for quite some time with Dr. Mary Frances Roebuck PT, DPT. Mary Frances is a PT in New York City and works with dancers! She is also my former colleague from South College DPT school. She was gracious enough to provide pictures from classes she teaches as…
This month, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Kayla Calhoun, PT, DPT, CSCS (dr.kayla.dpt on instagram) Dr. Kayla is a PT (obviously) and a figuring skating coach. I was very excited for this interview because I know nothing about figures skating but it is such a phenomenal sport to watch, and figure skating is…
For this month’s “What the Health” segment, I had the pleasure of interviewing dual-board certified Physical Therapist, Dr. Alex Hill PT, DPT, CLT. On her instagram (@oncopelvicpt) you will see that Dr. Hill addresses all thing pelvic health, oncology, and lymphedema! A little about Dr. Alex Hill’s educational background: “I graduated from the University of…
One thing I love about the field of physical therapy is that there are so many areas one can focus on and specialize in. I chose travel therapy because I wasn’t sure what setting I wanted to be in, but I didn’t even think of all the areas I could potentially specialize in as well!…
I never thought I would become so passionate about the legislative side of physical therapy, but here we are. I even did an interview with Dr. Mercedes Aguirre, PT, DPT (@theptadvocate) on the issue. This concept seems so logical and simple to execute on a national level in order to make licensing for PTs and…

When I’m planning a trip, I look at several options to compare prices, aesthetic/comfort, area, past reviews, etc. This obviously isn’t a bad thing,…
I know what you’re thinking, “seriously, a blog post about renewing your tags?! I can easily do that online.” Well, yes, SOME of you can. However, some of us have tags that come from a county that require emissions testing. I’ve lived in two counties since being of driving age and both of those required…

Today I cried over a patient. Today was a tough day. Today, I lost the battle in the ongoing war of insurance vs therapists (and other healthcare professionals) that ended up negatively impacting patients. Of course this could be only obvious to myself and other therapists as I am sure both patients are excited to…
I’m often asked “what made you choose travel therapy?”, and this is a blog all about travel therapy after all isn’t it? During PT school I felt so lost with everyone knowing what setting and/or specialty they wanted to go into. All I can remember thinking is “Anything but a SNF” (this statement will come…
I decided to start this blog to give a true glimpse at the life of a travel therapist. I went into this without much advice from experienced travel therapists (a motif of my academic/career choices thus far). Of course a recruiter will do his/her best to sell you, meaning you only hear the good things.…
