Reddy-Care Report from the Private Practice Conference

The American Physical Therapy Association's (APTA) Private Practice Section (PPS) recently held its annual conference . I wanted to share a few thoughts on the conference with our friends , colleagues and others who follow the Reddy-Care Blog.

It was another great PPS conference in glorious Colorado Springs. It was great to see friends like Steve Anderson, Carol Stillman, Ed Ramsey and Kevin Flaherty- not to mention the best fellow PT-PAC-er raising more than 140K to support our profession. The red coats rule! This year, PPS seemed to have an excellent mix of marketing courses, practice management ideas and the big splash by Steve Levine and Helen Fearon with the OptimusPT program- bringing together EMR, billing, scheduling and ther-ex programs under one program.

It's wonderful to experience the evolution of the profession along with the minds of fellow practice owners, all working to improve their practices through education and networking. One thing that impressed me at this conference was the vast diversity of practices and the amazing ideas generated by fellow PTs. Reddy-Care was represented well, as VP of Public Relations Patrick Flynn, and fellow owner/wife Beata attended.

I can certainly say that learning with others enriches the experience, and develops a bond of common ground for key practice members to work on. I believe our thousands of miles of travel will benefit our patients, staff and company as we strive toward our next phase of expansion. I would recommend that all private practice owners give PPS a try.

Health News Updates from Reddy-Care- Muscle Strength and Lower Alzheimer's Risk

A new study shows that older people with stronger muscles are at reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A news dispatch from Reuters Health this week has cited a study conducted by the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago which found that the greater a person's muscle strength, the lower the likelihood of an Alzheimers diagnosis over a four-year period. Researcher Patricia A. Boyle of the Center told Reuters that the study's findings support the link between physical health and cognition in aging and the importance of maintaining good physical function and strength. For details on the study consult the November 9th Archives of Neurology.
