If you’re looking to develop a strength circuit class for people with neurologic diagnosis this episode is for you! Running a circuit class for people with physical and/or cognitive deficits can have challenges. You need to be mindful in order to ensure safety while also challenging your clients enough to promote change. This episode Erin Gallardo and Claire McLean will break down the method and approach that Claire uses at Rogue PT and Wellness running her 40 weekly exercise classes for people with PD.
In the show we’ll break down the types of exercises to include in your circuit, short cuts to reduce confusion, the flow and structure of a comprehensive class, how to approach the conversation about which class is right for your client, and when to split into different levels of classes.

204: The Most Effective Way To Incorporate The Evidence With EVERY Patient With Oscar Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS
I Love Neuro
03/11/24 • 67 min
Do you feel like you’re as great a clinician as you could be? Do you know how to apply the evidence in an individualized way? Are you missing anything in your therapy toolbox, if so, do you know what it is? In today’s show we were so excited to interview Dr. Oscar Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS after he won the PT Clinical Excellence in Neurology Award from the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy component of the American Physical Therapy Association. Oscar is dedicated to the advancement of physical therapy through many advocacy efforts. He spends countless hours treating patients, mentoring students, residents and other clinicians, and focuses on community wellness. He has transformed many lives in his 20+ years in the field and is definitely someone who will take the profession (and healthcare) further as he continues to devote time, effort and energy to these passions. Any clinician or student will benefit from this in depth discussion of what makes a person a really great clinician so they can overcome barriers, empower patients to overcome their real and perceived barriers, and ultimately find perhaps a lost sense of agency. The insights shared will enlighten clinicians at any stage in their career. Some of the discussion points touched upon in this interview include how to determine what to use in your practice from the evidence when you’re stuck between following best practice guidelines and the restrictions faced like resources, patient functional level, other patient/family priorities, and clinical appropriateness for the interventions being suggested. Additionally, we discuss an essential communication tool that can shift power dynamics ultimately leading to better outcomes, understanding of expectations, and satisfaction for patient and clinician alike. Helpful adages like “our discharge plan starts at the evaluation” and “think out loud” will strengthen patient/clinician relationships. Becoming an expert in neurologic therapy goes beyond your clinical skills and the bullet points in the research. Listen to hear how you can elevate your practice right now.
If you’re inspired by anything you heard, you can reach out to Oscar in the following ways:

Our biz coach Emily Duval Ledger joins the show today to talk about business loans. When is it the right time to take out a loan for your business? What are the right reasons to take one out and what are the wrong ones? Should you ever take one out? Let’s help you work through the thought process in case this is something you’re considering! Today we talk through Claire’s experience of using loans for Rogue through the pandemic and how the money was used, why it made sense, and her plan for it. We’ll also discuss the things to look out for and reasons NOT to take out a loan. If you do take what out, make sure you have a good business plan for paying it back. What does that look like? We’ll go into that as well!
If you do have a business or are thinking about one, please reach out to us! We have an amazing free community on Slack with other neuro business owners from around the country ready to help answer your questions and brainstorm with you on all neuro biz topics.

193: Sowing The Love: Harvesting Wins, Weeding Woes, And Business Shenanigans With NeuroBiz Besties
I Love Neuro
12/25/23 • 51 min
As we approach the end of year / new year it’s a great time to think about where you’re going and where you’ve been. Follow along as we discuss what seeds we’ve sown over the past months, what we are celebrating, and what we are removing from our hypothetical gardens with Emily Duval Ledger, Neuro Biz coach. Erin is working to implement the Profit First formula into business and found a company that works as a fractional CFO (aka part time for different companies) for cash based medical companies owned by PTs, OTs, MDs, NDs, etc. Claire is working to implement support groups at Rogue and shares the disappointment of not being selected for a Parkinson Foundation grant. Emily is pausing on her goal of writing the business book she always wanted to have and shares her process for that.
Celebrating the fruits of your labor is always a MUST, so we also share our wins. How are you celebrating your harvest? Erin is celebrating the work put into building collaborative partnerships and how it is a win-win for all of us. Claire is celebrating a new funding collaboration, which may end up being even more abundant. She has partnered with a local non-profit so she can offer scholarships to Rogue members. Emily is celebrating the accomplishments of her coaching clients. Many initially came with specific issues and problems and now have crossed those bridges and are finding more stability and happiness in their businesses.
What are you removing from your life in the next year? Erin is a constant gardener who is always in weeding mode. Claire is building better boundaries around her time and energy. Emily is challenging and removing the limiting beliefs that keep her from growing the way she knows she’s capable.
We’d love to hear your own reflections! We want to celebrate with you as well and hope you take the time to think about the past year and year ahead.

Everyone is on their own timeline. For some the notion to start a business doesn’t happen until well into their career. For others it happens almost immediately. For some, the slow growth method is right. For others it’s full speed ahead. Dr. Han Nguyen, PT, DPT, NCS is a PT who’s constantly seeking growth and opportunity. She asks, “what’s next?” and continues to strive for more and better. In today’s show we had the opportunity to learn about how she set up a multidisciplinary neuro rehab clinic in Saint Petersburg, FL focused on high intensity sessions, creative treatment strategies and team work. Han mentions some very key ways she was able to grow so quickly including being involved in her community. She also discusses the transitions she did from starting out mobile to renting shared space to recently signing a lease of her own. She’s learned lessons with hiring, negotiating, and growing her team. She also discusses her model of care and why she decided to be participating with Medicare. She also highlights the importance of understanding who you’re here to serve (hint: it’s not a diagnosis), getting clear on your messaging and one invaluable investment that has made all the difference. If you’re looking for inspiration to start your own thing or you’re already doing it, you’re sure to take away helpful insights in today’s show!
