Rehabilitation Today

After a long summer break, the Rehabilitation Today podcast is back in action with two amazing people. In this episode, Kyle interviews Jesi Stracham and discusses her journey from her life-altering injury to who she is today living her mission and helping to empower others who are facing adversity in their lives. Jesi is a user of Axiobionics electrical stimulation shorts which enable her to reduce spasticity and retain critical muscle mass, Josh Schueller, VP of operations explains how the technology works, why it's important, and the future of their technology.

What does physical therapy and Egyptian fruitcake have in common? Well in this episode with industry veteran Bob Kroll PT, VP of VGM Homelink's Therapy Network we discuss his journey that started in Milwaukee, WI to owning a physical therapy practice, to leading the charge to develop a physical medicine network with one of the nation's largest managed care organizations. Along the way we share some laughs and the finer things in life like maple syrup. Enjoy.

This episode was originally recorded in 2021 with a close friend of mine James Pazour, OTR/L. James with colleagues has ran the seating and mobility clinic at St. Luke's Hospital (part of UnityPoint Health) in Cedar Rapids, IA for over 20 years. In this episode we discuss the evolution of the evaluation and the important role learning has in this specialized practice. I am so thankful to have worked with James and have the utmost respect and appreciation for my time spent with him. We hope you enjoy!

In this latest episode of Rehabilitation Today, I sat down with Mark Chapman VP, Business Development with Medway Air Ambulance to discuss his career in the rehabilitation field and where patient transportation fits into the mix. A theme emerged throughout the conversation that warms my heart. At the end of the day no matter the line of business, we are here for the patient at one of the most crucial times in their lives.

This episode was previously recorded in 2021, but is still very relevant today. In this interview I sat down with Greg Packer, President of US Rehab (A VGM Company) and discussed what CRT (Complex Rehabilitation Technology) is, why it's important to have highly trained, educated, and certified ATPs (Assistive Technology Professional), and service technicians involved in the evaluation and provision of these products to consumers.
Greg is a well respected advocate in the CRT community and I am so thankful for the opportunity to speak with him. I hope you enjoy.
