  • The OncoPT is GOLD

    There are rare moments where I encounter a therapist who is intentional about the impact they are making far beyond their own individual practice. Elise is one of those therapists. She thinks about the experience that people will have years from now who are diagnosed with cancer. She is dedicated to changing culture that prioritizes the mental and physical function of people early in their cancer journey, not after they have developed impairments. The OncoPT podcast is life-changing and is absol... more

  • Excellent content!

    As a PT who’s been practicing for a couple of years, I’ve found a lot of really great information from this podcast to both reinforce existing knowledge and expand areas I’m less comment in. More influential though, this podcast brings to light areas of practice that were simply not even on my radar prior.

    Elise is an outstanding host and I’ve really been enjoying this podcast. I highly recommend it and give a solid 5/5 stars.

Beyond the Clinic: Innovations in Lymphedema Care with Tactile Medical
Q: What are some tips for clinicians to effectively treat patients with lymphedema?
Clinicians should educate patients about the importance of home treatment options like the pneumatic compression device and utilize a multidisciplinary approach to manage lymphedema effectively.
Beyond the Clinic: Innovations in Lymphedema Care with Tactile Medical
Q: What are some misconceptions clinicians may have around managing lymphedema?

Beyond the Clinic: Innovations in Lymphedema Care with Tactile Medical
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what Tactile is and what they do?
Tactile Medical is a medical device company that produces at-home treatment solutions for patients with lymphedema, including the Flexitouch and Nimble devices.
{TCRCC2025 Preview} When 'I Don't Know' IS THE ANSWER
Q: What inspired this title and this session idea for you?
The title is inspired by the need to help manage difficult questions and emotions that patients face when given poor diagnoses or uncertainties about their treatment.
{TCRCC2025 Preview} When 'I Don't Know' IS THE ANSWER
Q: Do you feel like being in a multidisciplinary facility equips you with more resources to better have these difficult conversations, in which 'I don't know' is often the answer?
