No Plateau Podcast: Recent Episodes

Henry Hoffman

Henry Hoffman, licensed Occupational Therapist and Co-founder of Saebo Inc., always believed there was no such thing as "plateauing" in stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery. When survivors stop seeing progress in their recovery journey, they're often told that they've "plateaued" and have no choice but to accept this reality. If you ask Hoffman, he'll tell you this – "It's not the patient that plateaus, it's their treatment options that do." It's why he co-founded his company Saebo (a medical device company focused on stroke and TBI rehab) on the mantra "No Plateau in Sight." So, how exactly can survivors keep pushing to overcome the fate of plateau? Hoffman is on a mission to speak to anyone and everyone out there defying the norm in neuro-rehab. This is the No Plateau Podcast – the podcast for stroke and brain injury survivors, their caregivers, and the therapists helping them to break boundaries in their recovery journey.

As medical science progresses, there are more and more resources, tools and education available for stroke survivors and caregivers. 

But for OTs, continuing education can be hard to come by, or difficult to apply to the real-life patients they’re assisting. 

Today’s guest, Jessica Miller, is an OT and certified brain injury specialist who experienced this firsthand over her 19-year career – and she’s started Pathways Neuro Rehabilitation and Education in order to help mentor and support other OTs. 

“The problem was when I went back to the clinic, I had all this good stuff and maybe I didn't have a patient that it was appropriate for. So I kind of had to tuck it away, put a tab on the binder and hope I could remember it when the time came. So I'm really taking that approach and I'm applying one of the strategies that we learned to help folks with their memory and their attention. And we're applying it to us therapists because we know neuroplasticity is not just a brain injury thing. It's a brain thing. And it's how we learn.” – Jessica (09:36)

In this episode, Jessica discusses the impetus behind Pathways, how mentoring other OTs works (and why), her hopes for the future of stroke recovery and more.

The stroke recovery process can be frustrating and overwhelming. What can survivors do to stay motivated? And how can caregivers know when to give them that little nudge forward? 

Today’s guest, Christopher Gaskins, is a neuroscience and cognitive science PhD candidate, a neurorehabilitation OT, a certified stroke rehabilitation specialist, and the founder of two neurotherapy-based companies. He’s also worked in veteran centers like Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and spent time overseas helping those without access to medical care.

Christopher knows what it takes to motivate a stroke survivor forward – and has seen miracles happen when they begin to motivate themselves.

“A lot of my patients call me a hard charger [because] I push them. I often feel that yeah, they can do more than what they think they're capable of. But when we push them that extra, you know, five, 10%, they can do it. Then that raises that threshold a little bit higher. And you just keep on incrementally, pushing them a little bit past what they're capable of, and they're able to continually go further and further. … They’re able to kind of keep on going and keep on pushing themselves.” – Christopher (33:24)

In today’s episode, Christopher also talks about the benefits of using video to monitor patients’ progress and push them forward, how he encourages non-compliant patients, the origins of his two neurotherapy companies, and more.

For many of us, the first time learning about stroke is after one has already happened. And when you’re trying to understand all the complexities, while dealing with doctors and insurance and the day-to-day obligations of life, it can be hard to see a way forward – whether you’re a caregiver, or just experienced a stroke yourself. 

Today, we’ll get to hear from two guests whose individual stroke experiences allow them to speak uniquely about both sides of the stroke journey, as a survivor and as a caregiver. 

David Dansereau is a licensed physical therapist, clinical PT consultant and stroke survivor. His stroke came after he’d already established himself in the physical therapy world – so he’ll be sharing his insights on stroke recovery from the remarkable perspective of a professional with lived experience. 

Michael Garrow, on the other hand, grew up as a caregiver to his mother, who had a stroke at 28. He’ll share what he’s learned over his decades of caregiving, including how to optimize the caregiver-survivor relationship, how to navigate all the obstacles that arise once in-home care begins and ways to make the recovery easier both for yourself and your stroke survivor.

For many stroke survivors and their families, the stroke recovery process can feel isolated.

After leaving the hospital, finishing as much outpatient therapy as your insurance (hopefully) allows, and finding an at-home care routine, the road to healing can start to look lonely. 

“I could see in his eyes, like he was still with me, you know, even though he couldn't communicate and he had no idea what was going on. I knew I could only live in that moment. I knew I could not go. I could not think further than that. I knew I had to just live in that very moment. I was just here for him and making sure he felt the support and he didn't give up.”  – Jennifer (05:52)

Today’s guests, Michael and Jennifer Erwin, have used their experience with stroke to help ease the journey for other families.

Michael’s major hemorrhagic stroke in 2017 inspired them to start the BELIEVE Stroke Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to help stroke survivors access continued rehabilitation services. 

Today, Michael and Jennifer join us to talk about their journey – including their experience with outpatient care, the questions they recommend asking of potential PTs, their advice for families recovering from stroke, how the BELIEVE Foundation began, and more. 

“Nothing is more entitled to an individual than realizing self in self independence. So you need to realize that really, to be excited about life again. They estimate so many stroke survivors are very depressed. I'll never forget the first time after I walked, I went to a sports bar. It was the first time I've been to a sports bar in two years. And I sat there right in front of all the TVs and I was all by myself and I got to do what I enjoy. And that is the best thing for all people to try and gain that back.” – Michael (42:56)

A lot of us dream of being the best – and unfortunately, a lot of us end up disappointed. 

But what if we started dreaming instead of simply being better? Just a little bit, each day, better than we were the day before?

For stroke survivors, this small change in thinking can mean a huge difference. It has for our guest Bill Monroe, who survived a blood clot in his basal ganglia in 2017. 

Today, Bill joins us to talk about surviving his stroke, his ongoing experience with rehab, and how he learned that better is actually more important than best.

“If you can just get a little bit better every day, just the tiniest amount over time, that's going to add up to tremendous progress and you can be successful. You can get a little bit better or you can make efforts to get a little bit better each day. So we've reduced now the odds of failure, we've reduced the chances of being in that negative place of losing as part of this process, because that's the thing. As long as you're making that effort to get a little bit better, that's gonna add up over time.” – Bill

Bill also tells us how he launched his podcast, Strokecast, which aims to build a community to help other stroke survivors live their best lives. 

“At one point I was asking one of the therapists in the hospital about a support group that met down the hall and she didn't even know it existed. So there's all these different silos that are out there. And one of the things I wanna do with [Strokecast] is to help break down some of those silos and help people communicate more across these different constituencies and share these perspectives. …  I would love to help more and more people learn from them and get value from my experience. So hopefully they don't have to go through this themselves.” – Bill

It takes nerve to start your own company – and when you start a nonprofit, more than a little heart. 

Occupational therapist Carolyn Brown is the founder and executive director of StrokeOT, a nonprofit which began as a pilot program during her capstone research as a doctoral student in 2020. 

Since then, it’s blossomed into a major resource that helps stroke survivors around the world access invaluable virtual health, exercise and lifestyle support. 

In today’s episode, Carolyn tells us more about StrokeOT, the gaps StrokeOT fills for underserved patients and why a nonprofit for stroke survivors is so critical in today’s healthcare climate.

“What I was finding through years of working in outpatient was there was a huge gap in services for stroke survivors that were number one, prematurely discharged because A), their deductibles were too high, or B) that whole philosophy that still seems to be ingrained in so many clinicians’ heads are that there's this plateau in progress after your first year and you're not gonna continue. And I've never believed in that. There's so much research that shows likewise. 

So what I did for my capstone thesis was to create a free program for underserved stroke survivors after they've been discharged from therapy. So I did an outcome measure based on the success of the program. It proved to be very successful. And from that became the sort of the groundings of stroke OT.” – Carolyn

Carolyn also shares about the tremendous value of community-based rehab programs, why emotional buy-in is such a profoundly important part of the healing process, how OTs and caregivers can keep their patients and loved ones thinking positively, and which rehab gear to grab and which to ditch.

Our Guest

Carolyn Brown (OTD, OTR/L, CLT) is the founder and executive director of StrokeOT, a nonprofit that helps stroke survivors access virtual health, exercise and lifestyle support. 

With over 27 years working with stroke survivors, Carolyn specializes in neuro-developmental treatment, the Lifestyle Redesign® model, constraint-induced movement therapy, and Saebo orthotics. 

In addition to her work at StrokeOT, she has also served as a clinical instructor at Quinnipiac University for the past 5 years.

You know what they say about when you’ve seen one stroke survivor? 

You’ve seen one stroke survivor. 

In other words, nobody who’s had a stroke is the same – and no approach, tool, or exercise is ever quite one-size-fits-all, either. What works for one patient might not be right for another. 

As therapists and caregivers know, this can be extremely frustrating. 

So today’s episode is for people who just finished the inpatient part of rehab, are headed home, and have no idea what to do next. 

Henry will use his 25 years of experience in OT to set you up for outpatient success – you’ll find out which products to use, which to stay away from, which services might meet your needs and how you can decide what will best help you or your loved ones during your stroke rehab journey.

In 2022, mobile therapy is the name of the game – not only for patients, but for the OTs who treat them. 

Today’s guest, OT Tiffany Topp, started mobile therapy practice Next Dimension Rehab in 2020, and has seen the difference firsthand. 

“Patients, when they're coming out of the hospital, they've been told things like, ‘Well, you know, whatever you have after three months is pretty much what you're going to get,’ which is totally not true. Totally not true. And the thing that is most important is the mentality of the patient. If they can see themselves getting better, if they can see themselves moving their arms and they have the drive to get better, that is like more than half the battle. So if they're willing to work, then I will give them as much as they want to work.” – Tiffany 

In this episode, Tiffany talks with us about the differences she sees between in-home therapy vs clinic, her goals for stroke patients in the first 10 days of rehab, the power of positive mentality, and the role of a good OT in a patient’s healing process.

“The biggest role, I believe, as a therapist being on the very, very frontline is you're the first person that they really encounter in their journey and education is the biggest thing. Just making sure that they understand what a stroke is and, and how it's happened and educating the family on what to expect next, because the whole rehab process can be so confusing.” – Tiffany

Tiffany also shares her favorite ways to help her patients with reps and accountability, how mobile rehab also benefits patients with co-existing conditions, like age, weight or lymphedema, and her predictions for the future of stroke rehab.

What does recovery look like six years after two strokes?

In our inaugural episode, we talk with Guy and Jane Harvey, whose lives suddenly changed in 2016 when Guy experienced two strokes within a month. 

“When he was in rehab, [the therapists] asked him what he wanted [to achieve], but I don't think they ever thought he was gonna get there. They kept saying … ‘you're probably gonna be in a chair for the rest of your life.’”

With hard work and support from Jane, Guy proved them wrong. Today, they share with us what’s changed most about their lives since the strokes, resources for stroke survivors and Jane’s tips for caregivers. 

“[Recovery] doesn't just happen within the therapy sessions. It's every waking moment, especially at the beginning. It's like, ‘Oh, you're having trouble with this. How can I figure out a way to help you with that trouble [so] that you are making those accomplishments? I could do everything for you, but then I'm gonna be doing everything for you forever. And that's not who he wanted to be.”

Guy also shares his perspective on their recovery journey, his hope for the future and the strategy he relies on for overcoming plateaus.

“The biggest thing that I find is that when I start to find myself plateauing or I seem like I'm not doing anything, I change it up. I was walking around the block the other day and this lady came out and ran towards me and said, ‘I cannot believe how much you've improved in the last year!’ And I said, ‘I thought I'd stopped.’ 

The thing is, you will be the last one to see progress.”

Our Guests

Guy Harvey is a two-time stroke survivor. His strokes, which occurred – unusually – within a month of each other, were brought on by a cut to his hand that led to a serious heart infection. 

Guy is supported in his stroke recovery by his wife, Jane, who also served as his caregiver and at-home therapist. 

The Harveys live in Canada where they run JGH Rehabilitation and Consulting Services, a Health Canada-licensed importer and distributor of medical devices for stroke recovery.

What should every stroke patient know about the road to recovery? 

According to today’s guest, occupational therapist and Neuro Hub founder Dorothee “Doro” Zuleger: much more than hospitals and insurance companies tell them.  “There's no guidance. There's nothing. That's where it's so important that all the clinicians and the different settings start to collaborate more. So we have a better handoff and provide … a roadmap in recovery. What can I expect? How do I look? How can I advocate for myself? So I feel like that's on us therapists to provide them with all the resources that are out there to at least navigate a little bit better through that territory.”

In this episode, Doro explores what she’d change about how insurance companies handle neuro rehab, the importance of micro goals in therapy and the biggest obstacle occupational therapists face in treating stroke survivors.  “I think that's the biggest challenge in stroke rehab, that there's not a one-size-fits-all. We need to tease out what fits every client and package it together.”

We also discuss the most important thing every first-time stroke patient should understand about recovery. “[Patients] don't realize what the recovery process is going to be like. They don't understand that they are gonna have mini plateaus, but they can break through those plateaus.”

Our Guest Dorothee “Doro” Zuleger (MOT, OTR/L, CBIS, DRS) is the founder of The Neuro Hub, an advanced neurological therapy and rehabilitation center located in Central Florida. She is a graduate of Adventist University of Health Sciences and specializes in providing hands-on, evidence-based approaches to neurological rehabilitation.

Every 45 seconds, somebody, somewhere, has a stroke. 

That’s about 80,000 stroke patients each year, many of whom are pushed out of therapy before they’re fully recovered.

These people are still capable of living an active lifestyle – they just may not know how. 

In this series sneak peek, you’ll get an idea of what the No Plateau Podcast is all about – challenging the status quo in neuro rehab, providing research-based solutions, understanding the process of neuroplasticity and what you can do to drive your brain into new recovery after stroke.

“Our goal at the end of every one of these episodes is for a patient to say to themselves, ‘Hmm, I didn't know that was available.’ Or ‘That patient really inspired me, I'd like to learn more and I'm gonna go ask my therapist,’ or ‘I'm gonna do some more research online if I'm not currently in therapy and find out what's out there. 

I'm gonna be re-energized to get back out there and take control of my life.’”
