Tip of the Week Tuesday!

Here is an easy way to make a built up handle using stockinette or compression sleeve scraps and elastic wrap: Wrap a piece of stockinette or compression sleeve to desired thickness around a pen or other hand tool and cover with a layer of elastic wrap. This also goes along with last year's Annual Meeting sustainability theme by using an item that might otherwise get thrown away.

— Stefanie Stevenson, OTR/L, CHT

This episode is all about communication as a new therapist. This is something Tabitha says she had to grow into. Talking with physicians, surgeons, senior therapists and even admin staff can feel intimidating at first, especially when you are still figuring things out yourself. In this episode, Tabitha shares what that has actually looked like for her in the clinic and how she has gotten more comfortable asking questions and speaking up. If you have ever felt unsure in these situations, this one will probably hit.
