Student PTs, PTAs, and OTs!

💪 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN: Clinicals Made Simple Challenge 💪

How to Crush Your Clinicals and Prevent Imposter Syndrome!

Yesterday we revealed information about our Clinicals Made Simple Challenge to achieve clinical confidence for your fieldwork.

Here’s what’s going to happen…

We are looking for PT, PTA, and OT students who are wanting to launch into their next fieldwork with confidence so they can take on any evaluation, treatment, setting, patient, or CI regardless of their experience!

On September 18th, these valiant student clinicians will start a 5-day live challenge on Zoom to hone their evaluation, pt education, treatment, documentation, and clinical decision making with real-life examples and strategies for their upcoming rotation!

Does that sound exciting to you?

Would you LOVE to stop worrying about whether you’ll be able to navigate that cynical or combative patient? Would you LOVE to start taking the focused steps towards efficient evaluations that get to the source right away? Would you LOVE to improve your success rate in getting patient compliance? Would you LOVE to write up succinct, defensible documentation and STILL get out on time?

Comment below with KEEP IT SIMPLE! And we will personally send you the details to apply.

It’s that simple.

Just type KEEP IT SIMPLE! below to secure your spot.

Let’s get you to your best fieldwork yet!

Share this post with your classmate clinician friends and join this challenge together!

Are you a PT student in clinicals or about to go to your first rotation?

Are you nervous about the unknown of how complex your case load or how tough your CI might be?! 😱

Is it actually possible to crush your clinical rotation even if the entire thing is brutal?! 🤯

How do you find the ⏰ TIME ⏰ to evaluate your patients AND come up with an appropriate plan of care AND document efficiently AND review your notes AND optimize full healing and recovery in your patients… if you’re painfully aware of all the co-morbidity interactions and are still learning how to establish yourself as a clinician?

😨 Why is the notion of being a student PT so nerve-wracking?

Can you really get to your clinicals confidently without fear of failing or hurting your patients?

🤔 And what if you don’t know how to eval efficiently?

🤔 Should you review your notes every night?

🤔 Are you unsure of how to effectively educate your patients and get compliance?

STOP. JUST STOP. 🤯

If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… day after day… We might be able to help.

Hello! Santi and Sarah here… 👋

And, while I don't claim to know it all, we HAVE spend years working on methods and frameworks to help students and even new grads learn how to blow their CIs away with the laser-focused and heart-driven approach, and getting patient results! We call ourselves DPT Heroes. 💪

Let us give you a road map, so that you don’t hit dead ends or get lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to confident, fear-free clinical experiences that you can be proud of.

Let me show you how you can KEEP IT SIMPLE. 💪

👇 Here is what we’re proposing. 👇

We’ve had a TON of passionate PT students reach out to us asking for our help.

So we had this crazy idea to put together a 5-day challenge to launch you into your clinicals with confidence!

✅ If you are interested in joining our challenge, comment “KEEP IT SIMPLE”!

👉 More details to follow tomorrow, on Instagram and Facebook!

Let’s get you to your best clinical!

Spaces in the Get Back in the Game Challenge: Elbow Edition program are rapidly being snapped up, and registration closes in just 24 hours! ⏰

If you’re a pickleball player struggling with less-than-satisfying play because you’re too concerned about protecting your elbow injury or aggravating your pain , this is your opportunity to be rid of your fears and doubts and reclaim the courts! Don’t miss out!

I shared this system with Sylvie and the results she achieved shocked me.

⭐ Sylvie found me 8 weeks away from competing in Pickleball Nationals, but she was unable to play pickleball even for fun, more or less take care of some everyday tasks because of her injury and excruciating pain. You can imagine how distraught she was when she approached me: she worked so hard to secure a spot in the bracket and then weeks away had to reckon with the fact that she may not get to play at all?! The good news is, not only did we get her to feeling better enough to compete at Nationals– she played fear-free and was able to focus fully on her skills in the game instead of on protecting against her pain! ⭐

If you want to achieve these sorts of results in the next 6 weeks and beyond, comment below with:

ONE MORE GAME!. 👇

Then, hold tight for me to send you the sign up details straight into your messenger inbox.

But act fast…

⏰ There are ONLY 24 hours left! ⏰
