In today's episode, Annoushka discusses how in the world of geriatric rehabilitation, tactile cueing has long been a staple for therapists aiming to ensure the safety of their patients. But have you ever stopped to consider: who is truly learning during these interactions? When we place our hands on patients to guide them, we often believe we are helping. However, in this episode, we will explore why stepping back and using hands-off cues can be one of the most effective strategies for promoting independence and motor learning in older adults while also addressing the instances where it may be necessary to be hands on.

Join Kay Mayordomo, PT, DPT as she reviews a 2026 systematic review on the association between BMI and osteoporosis risk. Did you know your BMI could be misleading when it comes to osteoporosis risk? Recent research reveals an association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis. Lower BMIs are often associated with higher osteoporosis risk, especially in women. As BMI increases, the risk generally decreases, suggesting that more body mass can help maintain bone density. But...there's always a but: BMI doesn't tell the whole story. It's just a number, a ratio of height to weight. It doesn't reflect muscle mass, fat distribution, or overall health. Two people can have the same BMI, but vastly different bone health based on their lifestyle and habits. As clinicians, we need to look beyond BMI. Focus on strength training, nutrition, and healthy habits. Help patients maintain their muscle mass and overall well-being. So while BMI can indicate osteoporosis risk, remember it's just one piece of the puzzle. Let's prioritize looking at the whole picture. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41862888/

Why do we wait for a catastrophic injury or dramatic decline before addressing physical health? In this episode of the MMOA podcast, Dustin Jones sits down with Dr. Mike Puthoff and Dr. Victoria Hamby, leaders of the APTA's Academy of Geriatric Task Force, to explore the transformative potential of the Annual Mobility Assessment.

As clinicians, we often see patients in the later stages of decline when it's much harder to reverse damage. This episode highlights how shifting our focus "upstream" can help us identify preclinical mobility limitations—the subtle changes that occur years before a fall or injury—and intervene when it matters most.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

The Six Pillars of Mobility: A breakdown of the physical performance measures used in the AMA, including usual/fast gait speed, chair stands, and cognitive dual-tasking .
The "Report Card" Approach: How using a simple red-yellow-green system makes complex data tangible and empowering for patients .
Moving Beyond the HEP: Why moving away from a "dictator" approach toward Brief Action Planning—letting the patient take ownership of their goals—leads to more sustainable behavior change.
Practical Implementation: Advice for busy clinicians on how to integrate these assessments into existing workflows, whether through community outreach or as part of a standard plan of care.

Stop managing decline and start optimizing capacity. Tune in to learn how to become a movement specialist who identifies problems before they become emergencies.

Think your clinical practice is exempt from geriatrics? Think again. In this episode of the PTonICE Daily Show, Dustin Jones challenges the misconception that geriatric care is limited to specific settings like nursing homes or home health.

Whether you specialize in sports, orthopedics, or pediatrics, Dustin argues that every healthcare professional is inherently a "geri-clinician." He outlines three powerful reasons why embracing this identity will not only make you a more effective and fulfilled clinician but also profoundly impact your own life:

The Reality of Your Caseload: Regardless of your setting, a vast majority of the patients you treat are either older adults now or are heading there fast .
Influencing Future Longevity: Every patient you see, from the 5-year-old child to the 40-year-old athlete, hopes to become an older adult . Your current interventions—and the language you use—set the trajectory for their future health, helping them either thrive or live in fear of decline .
"Old People in Training": Embracing this identity isn't just about your patients; it's about you. By understanding the aging process, you can adopt a more realistic and motivating perspective on your own health, time, and mortality.

Stop waiting until the later stages of life to understand the principles of healthy aging. Tune in to learn how shifting your mindset can help you become an "old person in training," improve your professional confidence, and ultimately help your patients live more independent, fulfilling lives .

Most clinicians still shy away from heavy lifting with osteoporotic patients because of fear. But this groundbreaking study shows high-intensity resistance training isn't just safe — it's essential. Participants lifted at 85% of their 1RM — which means it's heavy, challenging, and highly effective at reversing bone density loss. And guess what? No fractures or adverse reactions.Here's the kicker: start slow, avoid equipment costs, and accept that not everyone will hit that perfect dose immediately. It's about progress, not perfection. If you're working with post-menopausal women or men at risk, this study gives you a clear blueprint to follow — and the clinical pearls to do it confidently.Take this insight to your next patient convo — and let's shift from fear to empowerment.

Dr. Jeff Musgrave shares some of his favorite ways to save time and effort in sessions, part 1 focuses on how to save time with your warm-up, and thinking through what equipment you do or don't choose will affect how much time your session takes!

Are screens really ruining our seniors' health? Let's dive into the truth behind screen use and cognitive decline!

Tag someone who needs to hear this!

The reality is, screen use among older adults isn't all bad—engaging use can actually decrease the risk of cognitive decline! But beware, passive screen time can lead to higher risks of dementia.

We've got to consider how screens influence not just our minds but also our physical and mental health. Excessive screen time can mean more eye strain and mood dips. And did you know that watching too much TV can worsen anxiety and depression in seniors?

So, what's the takeaway? Screens should NEVER interfere with what we need as humans - social connection, sleep, and movement! Chat with your loved ones about their screen habits and encourage more active engagement rather than passive consumption.

Let's keep our brains healthy while still enjoying the benefits of technology!

Most clinicians crush the evaluation… and then spend the next several visits wondering why their treatment sessions feel flat.

In this episode, we sit down with J.J. Mowder-Tinney, a true wizard of crafting salient, meaningful, movement-rich sessions, to talk about the moment that actually matters: How do you turn your evaluation into a treatment session that changes something?

J.J. breaks down how to shift from checking boxes to building experiences—sessions that engage the brain, challenge the body, and make every rep count. We explore:

Why salience isn't fluff — it's the lever that drives neuroplastic change
How to translate your eval findings into interventions that actually matter
Using standing rests, strategic intensity, and real movement retraining
Why even a single well-placed high-intensity burst can outperform a whole session of underdosed "activity"
What happens when patients stay physically engaged instead of passively seated
The power of controlling your session, even when you can't control the system

This conversation is a masterclass in doing more with the minutes you have, ditching the excuses, and designing sessions that older adults feel, remember, and grow from.

If we know that exercising has such potent and in many times IMMEDIATE effects on mood, then the question becomes, why aren’t ALL of us doing it with no issues? Some of our older adults (and clients of all ages) think of EXERCISE like a cuss word. Yuck. They HATE it. They have a visceral reaction to it. This is known as the AFFECTIVE response of exercise. The “suck” in the middle of a hard workout hits us all differently and even KNOWING that you get to the other side. The suck can make people disengage. So how do we tackle it? Dr. Christina Prevett breaks this down.

In this episode of the MMOA podcast, Dr. Dustin Jones and Rashelle Hoffman discuss the various paths to specialization in physical therapy, particularly focusing on geriatric care. They explore the pros and cons of pursuing a geriatric residency versus sitting for the Geriatric Clinical Specialist (GCS) exam, highlighting the importance of mentorship, clinical reasoning, and the impact of physical therapy on older adults. The conversation emphasizes the need for better representation of geriatrics in physical therapy education and the potential for significant improvements in patient outcomes. Dr. Rashelle Hoffman Faculty Profile: https://www.creighton.edu/campus-directory/hoffman-rashelle Takeaways: * -Specialization in physical therapy can enhance skills for specific populations. * -Geriatric residency programs offer structured mentorship and clinical experience. * -Sitting for the GCS exam demonstrates knowledge but lacks practical application training. * -Continuing education can be a viable alternative for specialization. * -Financial considerations are important when choosing a specialization path. * -Residency programs can fast-track the process to sit for specialization exams. * -The impact of physical therapy on older adults can be profound and rewarding. * -Not all residency programs provide the same quality of education and mentorship. * -The demand for geriatric specialists is growing, but interest in the field remains low. * -Collaboration with fitness professionals can enhance care for older adults.

Yup that’s right. There are a LOT of parallels between breastfeeding and menopause. Both times in a females life are hallmarked but estrogen deficiency. What this means is that some of the common complaints we see in breastfeeding, we also see in menopause. Things such as: 🙈V@g1nal dryness 🙈 Pain with $3x 🙈 An increase in pelvic floor dysfunctions 🙈Accelerated bone mineral density loss Therefore there is a LOT we can do to help the postmenopausal female and yet there isn’t as much attention being paid to this space.

60% of our case load is going to be in chronic pain if we work in the geriatric setting.

That is a BIG number.

Of those, 60% are going to have chronic pain in multiple sites on their body.

I would like to say that we as healthcare providers are helping this situation, in some cases we are, but too often we see pain be dismissed in older adults as a “natural consequence of getting older”. Sure pain can be present with wear and tear on joints but this sentiment and thought is dismissive and ageist. Not to mention it can feel hopeless for our clients if they believe that there is nothing to be done and they will just need to endure this pain forever.

A new feasibility study looked at incorporating pain neuroscience education (PNE) with exercise. We deep dive into this in this weeks episode of #GeriOnICE

We know that things change as we get older.

We see a change in the redundancy of the physiological system leading to less reserve and more vulnerability to disease and other issues.

While these changes DO happen, many of them happen VERY slowly.

But in some older adults, these changes seem sped up!

What is the culprit?

Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour!

Arthritis care is a staple for any geriatric clinician. We work with arthritis every day, whether it is the reason for the referral or a contributor to increases in sedentary behaviour and subsequent deconditioning.

Many clinicians arthritis is arthritis and the literature hasn’t changed substantially and that isn’t really true. There is a lot of new literature that can guide our clinical reasoning in arthritis care.

In this episode, Christina goes through 6 myths that need to be busted in arthritis care.

1.OA is ONLY wear and tear on the joint

2.Knee replacements are inevitable / Knee replacements are the only option

3.The image is irrelevant

4.You can’t kneel after joint replacement

5.Hyaluronic acid is beneficial

6.Hip precautions reduce hip dislocations

The 2 Minute Step Test (TMST) with Nicole Nexon & Tali Speizman

We in the PT community continue to need to be adaptive to current events - and we need to continue to provide high quality, evidence based care.

If you're feeling that crunch for space because of social distancing in the clinic or in room isolation precautions, this episode has got you covered.

For many of us #GeriPT's, treatment looks VERY different from what we are used to.

Sicker, younger, highly contagious patients, changing mindsets, scaling back treatment plans - or getting pulled from "comfortable and familiar" and being sent to a faster paced, less comfortable setting.

It's a whole new ball game - or is it?

Brush up on your pulmonary skills, strap on your N95 ( and gown, hair cover, face shield, booties, gloves ) and listen in while two East Coast therapists (spoiler - it's Tali and Nicole) who don't (usually) work in acute care talk about what they are seeing clinically.

This was recorded 4/4/2020 and we're sure something has changed since then. Life comes at you fast.

The Skill in Documentation

Documentation. Generally not included in the " skilled and billable" time therapists get to record for productivity, but there's no denying the skill required.

How do PTs/ OTs/ SLPs make sure CMS accept our billing? (And stop ridiculous statements such as "exercise is not skilled, don't bill for it"?)

Nicole and Tali discuss the skill needed to make sure charges are accepted, patient handoff goes smoothly and safely, and the skill put in is demonstrated.

ASHA's Skilled vs Unskilled examples discussed in the show.

The changes brought by PDPM have allowed us - or forced us - to use groups in our treatment plans. Why should we? Why shouldn't we? Are groups a threat to our patient's care? Or an opportunity to use a vital piece of what drives us as humans to better serve older adults?

Join Nicole & Tali as they discuss some helpful tips when thinking about group therapy:

The W's of planning a group

WHO is this group for? (specific pts OR population to be served)
WHAT equipment do I need, and what safety concerns do I have?
WHERE can I set this group up to maximize success?
WHEN in my day is the best time to schedule this group?
WHY am I addressing this skill?

Bridging the Gap Between the Hospital and the CrossFit Affiliate.

This is a VERY special interview Dustin Jones had with Dr. Julie Foucher, MD, of the Pursuing Health, and Michele Mootz.

This is a co-published episode on Julie's Pursuing Health Podcast.

The show notes below are courtesy of the Pursuing Health Podcast team. Enjoy!

“We are trying to reach the populations that would otherwise never consider walking into a CrossFit gym. That was goal #1 was, when we first put this out to people, if you’re the least likely person to go to a CrossFit gym, we want you. And it was followed pretty closely after that with, we will meet you wherever you’re at. And, got a pretty good response just from that. We have targeted two primary populations. One we call special populations, and that covers everything from the severely overweight to chronic disease: diabetes, COPD, you name it, we’ve got it. And, that was our primary target was a special populations class, and then reaching seniors, and the people who didn’t have exposure to any kind of physical activity, let alone CrossFit, and teaching them some of the skills that would be necessary to keep them living independently.” – Michele Mootz

When it comes to helping seniors and other “unlikely exercisers” become active and functionally fit for a lifetime of health, Dustin Jones and Michele Mootz are leading the charge.

As a home health physical therapist, Dustin Jones works to keep older adults resilient and independent at home. He is also the founder of Geros Health and the Geros Health podcast, where he connects thousands of clinicians to share information and education about caring for older adults.

Michele Mootz is a true CrossFit original, getting her start in Santa Cruz back in 2004. An experienced physical therapist, she fell in love with CrossFit methodologies and ultimately left her formal work as a physical therapist to become a full-time coach. Michelle has worked on the CrossFit Seminar Staff member for 10 years, currently serving as a Flowmaster. Most recently she has taken over the CrossFit Heath program at CrossFit HQ where she works with older adults as well as those struggling with obesity and chronic disease in an effort to help them regain their health and independence.

Michele, Dustin and I met up at a recent CFMDL1 seminar to share a discussion on how we can bridge the gap from the hospital to the affiliate. In this episode, we discuss the considerations that go along with working with these special populations, how affiliate owners can get start their own senior and special populations programs, and how healthcare providers can get involved with their local affiliates.

In this episode we discuss:

The stereotypes surrounding CrossFit, and the initiative CrossFit HQ is undertaking to reach populations who would never consider trying CrossFit, including obese populations, those with chronic disease, and seniors
How a box owner or a dedicated coach can create an inviting environment for those who need CrossFit the most so they feel welcomed
The criteria CrossFit HQ uses in allowing those interested to join their CrossFit Health program
Scheduling and programming considerations for special populations
What primary care physicians should look for in an affiliate in order to feel comfortable referring patients
How healthcare providers can get involved with their local affiliates
The Derelict Doctors Club or “DDC”
The trickle-down theory: why the MDL1 is not open to all healthcare providers
How HQ is working towards a directory of doctors who CrossFit
The reasoning behind CrossFit HQ’s decision to track quality of life over other health data markers
Michelle’s action steps for box owners and coaches who would like to get started helping special populations
Julie’s action steps for medical providers who would like to consider using functional movement to help their patients
Dustin’s thoughts on why functional movement is so important for rehabilitation patients

You can follow Dustin and Geros Health on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and via his podcast. You can contact Michele Mootz via email.

Veteran's Day Special 2019 - The Real Warrior Challenge

Many older adults, especially veterans, suffer from Post traumatic disorder (PTSD) that has a crippling effect on their lives.
Many psychiatric and cognitive interventions are not successful enough in providing feasible therapy solutions for this population.

Could the answer come from the realm of physical rehabilitation professionals?

Tali and Nicole discuss this randomized controlled pilot trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of exercise training in older veterans with PTSD.

The value of the rehab professional is shifting. You can see this as clear as day with the Home Health Value Based Purchasing (VBP) model.

Even if you're not in a VBP state, understanding how value is measured is imperative to the rehab professionals future. Don't allow others to define your value as how many visits you can do. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that is your value.

Define and show your value as your outcomes and how you uniquely help to better people's lives and keep them out of the hospital.

In this episode, Troy presents updated info on Value Based Purchasing which reflects more on what value that CMS is looking for. Why does that matter? Because we become obsolete if we're not seen as valuable.

What do people think of the ANNUAL SCREEN?

There is growing evidence leveraging screens for older adults to identify folks that may be at risk for functional decline or falls.

Listen to hear what he found looking at the A-FIT Screen.

Per Resistance Training for Older Adults Position statement by NSC, roughly only 8.7% of people over 75 (about 18% of general population) are participating in resistance training! The benefits are known and in the hands of the right clinicians and professionals we can make waves of change. But change is not easy, and may not seem as simple as it does on paper. But how can we increase this number and get more older adults lifting weights? Alyssa discusses some strategies!

We are on the brink of a BIG change to the SNF industry, and we all need to be as aware as possible going forward. There's a lot of opportunity to show our worth as therapists and a lot of ways we could give up our control of pt care if we aren't going in eyes open. Nicole explores some of the questions she's seen and heard the most, with insight from a SLP and her Director of Rehabilitation to try and take some of the confusion out of a confusing time period. You might want to listen a few times.

(From Nicole : Oh, this episode... it's a beast. Theres a lot here and it's gonna take you some time to process it. Even recording it, we stopped and reviewed and corrected and tried to make it as simple as possible. I know you'll have questions, we were working from a LARGE collection of information. Feel free to reach out with any questions, thoughts, corrections, suggestions... Let's all support each other moving forward!)

PDGM can be scary to some but therapists have a unique place in home health that can't be replaced. We need make sure that we understand the changes and how we can show our value for others to see it. In this podcast, hopefully I point out 5 skills that therapists can sharpen if needed to show to others how we bring value to the home health setting beyond just the number of visits. This hopefully ends on a high/positive note for you so that you know that home health therapy isn't going away and we play a vital part of keeping patients out of the hospital and improving quality of life.

Measuring LifeSpace: Meg Lowry interviews Jacki Liddle

This is a special edition of #HHRecharge. In this episode we continue the #DownUnderSeries with Meg Lowry as she talks with Jacki Liddle about her research on "LifeSpace".

What does a good day look like? This is the question that transformed Atul Gawande’s practice of medicine. He’s a citizen physician on the frontiers of human agency and meaning in light of what modern medicine makes possible. In his writing in The New Yorker, and in his book Being Mortal, he’s opening a new conversation about what dying has to do with living.

SHORTS: Depression in Older Adults - Screening and Referral #YouCouldSaveALife

Vieira E, Brown E, Raue P. Depression in Older Adults: Screening and Referral. Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 2014;37(1), 24-30.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23619921

PHQ-2 Tips:

Link to PHQ-2: http://www.cqaimh.org/pdf/tool_phq2.pdf

Patients with a PHQ-2 score of 2 or 3 (depending on the patient population) should be referred for further evaluation.

Scoring involves adding the results from the two items. The PHQ-2 with a cutoff score of 3 has 87% sensitivity and 78% speciﬁcity for depression

The following suggested information content, organizational format, and example come from “Nuts and Bolts: Organization for Depression Case Presentation”

Identify yourself, your place or employment and your relationship with the patient
Identify Patient: I am calling you about your patient Mr./Ms. __________whom I suspect has depression.
Age, Marital Status, Race, Gender
Current Symptoms (duration, pervasiveness)
Suicidal Ideation
Psychiatric History (if any)
Psychosocial (living situation, social support, stressors)
Medical illness and medications (dose for psycho-tropics)
Recommendation for further evaluation by physician or Mental Health (MH) specialist.

Assessment and management of depression in older adults can be conceptualized in the following 4 steps:

Step 1: Accurate depression recognition and screening is needed. But assessment is only the FIRST step in caring for depression

Step 2: Depression-related information needs to be conveyed to the patient’s physician or mental health specialist for further evaluation

Step 3: Depression treatment needs to be initiated or adjusted as indicated

Step 4: Ongoing monitoring of symptoms

I have met very few people like Tera Gwaltney. An experienced PTA that's going back to get her DPT, she embodies hard work ethic. She's on a quest to be the best she can be for her patients & her community. It's really inspiring to me.

Lusardi M, Fritz S, Middleton A, et al. Determining Risk of Falls in Community Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Using Posttest Probability. Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy. 2010;40(1), 1-36.

“Falls and their consequences are significant concerns for older adults, caregivers, and health care providers. Identification of fall risk is crucial for appropriate referral to preventive interventions. Falls are multi-factorial; no single measure is an accurate diagnostic tool. There is limited information on which history question, self-report measure, or performance-based measure, or combination of measures, best predicts future falls.”

“Purpose: First, to evaluate the predictive ability of history questions, self-report measures, and performance-based measures for assessing fall risk of community-dwelling older adults by calculating and comparing posttest probability (PoTP) values for individual test/measures. Second, to evaluate usefulness of cumulative PoTP for measures in combination.”

Use the link below to calculate cumulative PoTP by inserting the highest PoTP value gathered (use table 5) into the Pre-test probability box. Then use the +LR of your follow-up question/outcome measure/self-report (also from the table) in the likelihood ratio box below it. Hit re-calculate for a new cumulative PoTP.

Don't forget to take into account negatively answered questions, or outcome measures/self-report tools outside of the cut-off scores by using the -LR to go in the opposite direction for a cumulative "decreased fall risk" score. I suggest doing this first, then going back up using +LR responses.

"The Osteoarthritis Research Society International recommended that non-pharmacological methods include patient education programs, weight reduction, coping strategies, and exercise programs for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, neither a systematic review nor a meta-analysis has been published regarding the effectiveness of home exercise programs for the management of knee OA."

"The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the evidence regarding the effect of home exercise programs with and without supervised clinic-based exercises in the management of knee OA."

Shubert, T. E. (2011). Evidence-Based Exercise Prescription for Balance and Falls Prevention: A Current Review of the Literature. Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 34(3), 100-108.

"Falls are the leading cause of emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and unintentional death for older adults. Balance and strength impairments are common falls risk factors for community-dwelling older adults. Though physical therapists commonly treat balance and strength, standardized falls screening has not been fully incorporated into physical therapy practice and there is much variation in the frequency, intensity, and duration of therapy prescribed to achieve optimal results"

"This article describes the current best practices for physical therapists to effectively improve balance and manage falls risk in patients. The unique challenges and opportunities for physical therapists to incorporate evidence-based fall-prevention strategies are discussed."
