"Residency training is clearly one of the most important, evolving clinical education opportunities for the physical therapist. Post professional residency training raises the quality of care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions and elevates the role of the physical therapist in managing these cases. New graduates are actively seeking employer-sponsored residency training to refine their clinical skills and achieve board certification. EIM is hands down leading the way in revolutionizing clinical education in the physical therapy profession.“
- Anthony Delitto, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Professor & Chair,Department of Physical Therapy,University of Pittsburgh
"As most busy practice owners, I had a list of strategic planning, marketing and many other organizational improvements to do, but never made the time. EIM's Executive Management Program re-emphasized to me the importance of working "on" my practice. The assignments forced me to complete things that have been on my to do list for years. Not only have I completed most of my "to do" list, but the knowledge gained through the expert instructors took our planning to a level than I never imagined. The networking with classmates and the idea exchange is phenomenal. This program has changed the way we think, market and interact with staff, patients and referral sources. Money well spent and I was able to lead by example by acquiring my DPT." - Amanda Somers, DPT, Co-owner Sports Spine & Industrial, Inc (EIM Executive Program Participant)
"I will be honest...I've wondered how well a "distance learning" manual therapy residency would work...but now I understand how, with ground work well laid in advance, "just a weekend" can yield quite a bit of hands-on learning which can be taken into the clinic."
"In today's ever changing healthcare environment with declining reimbursement we found our practice after 9 years on the edge of disaster. Referrals had declined, we were locked into two low paying contracts and our office morale was at an all time low. Using the tools and techniques learned in the EPPM Executive Program has allowed us to essentially restructure our business; we have eliminated our low paying contracts, our marketing efforts have increased our referrals, our net revenues and profits have increased. We are back to numbers of visits we have not seen for some time. Our staff now takes an active role in providing input and direction of our practice and as active participants morale in the clinic has dramatically changed. Our business is back on the right track and growing again."
"Just wanted to send you a heartfelt Thank You for developing this whole program, curriculum, and for giving all of us in Private Practice a way to connect and share experience, among other things. The program was a huge learning experience and I just loved it. I now have thick binders full of invaluable timeless information as references along the way... All of that is priceless to me. I would have spent double what you charged for the program before we started and that is even more true now that I am done....as I see all that I have learned and all the info I have been given-it was worth so much more than we paid for the program... You have delivered something that far exceeded what was expected. Thanks again!!"
“I have always felt like I should get my tDPT but I just could not justify the time out of the office for any curriculum I found. Then I found the Executive Program. This program is actually an investment. I have made much more income from the knowledge gained than I spent on time, effort and money on the course. I grew from 5 locations to 8 last year and realized a 12% increase in my profit margin. In my opinion, if you are serious about your business then you HAVE to do this program. Oh yeah, it is also a blast!”
“We are doing great this year. We have almost doubled our visits since this time last year and have hired two full time therapists. I continue to be a huge supporter of the Program. Please let me know if there is ever anyway I can help out further.”
"The weekend intensive was a great review of some of the information we have been learning/discussing over the past 5 weeks. I have never really "feared" cervical manipulations, I just knew I was not proficient enough to do them correctly. However, the course did take the "mystery" out of the technique. All of the information was presented in a very easy to understand fashion, and Tim Flynn made all the techniques very easy to apply....As a 13 year therapist who has attended a plethora of con-ed courses, this was a one of a kind course for me.It was an amazing experience, and I look forward to the rest of the WI's."
"I am really pleased with the outcomes obtained this past weekend. The course was as intense and fruitful as the rest of the program so far. I enjoyed all components of it, from getting to know residents and fellows with whom I have been interacting online, to Jake Magel, who was very knowledgeable and organized during all presentations."
"Well...I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the WI with Timothy Flynn this weekend and look forward to placing items into use this week. My confidence with cervical diagnosis techniques and intervention has definitely increased, along with an inclination to include cervical and thoracic treatment to patients whose primary diagnosis is not cervical in origin. Education on how manipulations are performed at mid-range versus endrange in the cervical spine has made me feel more at ease and more comfortable in performing."
- Megan F, PT
"The WI Cervicothoracic course was amazing. I learned a lot of new techniques got to review others I learned in school and got lots of practice."
- Jennifer A, PT
"This was my 3rd WI and I feel like I am getting more out of each one. The cervical and thoracic regions have always been areas that I haven't felt the most comfortable with when it comes to manual skills, but after the WI. I feel significantly more confident in treating these areas."
- Brendan Y., PT
"I used to attend courses, learn great techniques, and then be afraid to try them on pts. As a result, I never learned the techniques. With these EIM courses, we leave with some confidence due to Round Robins, and then force myself to try them on pts and practice on co-workers in the days following the course. Once you perform them on a couple pts with success, it is amazing how your confidence will grow."
- Kyle A, PT, OCS
"The blog is now required reading at our clinic - and has, in fact, become the new 'time toilet' for the PTs! But what a great way to spend an unscheduled hour! Thanks for all of the great work you are doing on this project."
- Nancy White, PT
"Thank you, thanks for this amazing platform. You have given the physical therapy, orthopaedic and general community a place for public discussion and political discourse, the Greek meaning of their word: 'agora' or marketplace. Pericles & the democracy, the sophists & Socrates gained and lost in discourse and heated debate in the agora. The Greek public, and the ethos of the Golden Age, was in its glory here. The service to the physical therapy profession, and healthcare in general, is invaluable."
- Britt Smith
" Indeed an excellent venue for clinical discussions and updates. I personally appreciate the fact that articles are posted for free!!! Believe me I use them a lot for reference, education, marketing and as a treatment guide. Your site is #1 in my bookmark no doubt. Keep up the good work!"
- Jesse Resari, PT, MS, OCS, CSCS - Toms River, NJ
"I visit the blog 2-3 times per week and am continually pleased with the up to date (sometimes up to the minute!) evidence that is presented. Keep up the outstanding service to our profession. You are making a huge difference for many clinicians. Also, I don't have the first idea what Britt meant in his Rave, but I fully agree with his closing remark, that the blog is an invaluable service to the profession."
- Todd Watson - Winston Salem, NC
"Congratulations to Evidence In Motion for lighting the way to evidence based approaches in manual therapy. All of your hard work is greatly appreciated by those of us in the trenches."
- Jeff Hebert - Utah
"Evidence In Motion is the fastest way to keep up to date with manual physical therapy that I know of. I look forward to the research and practice information on a daily basis--keep up the great work for the physical therapy profession!!
- Mark Armstrong - Papillion, NE
"Evidence In Motion Blog is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I recommend it to all my TDPT and entry-level students and many colleagues as a GREAT resource on evidence-based dialogue in cyberspace. The breadth of the posts keeps me coming back for more and the links are extremely helpful in increasing my FAST access to timely material. Keep up the great work. I admire your vision and your ability to translate your vision into a user friendly application. Well done!"
- Dale Avers - Syracuse, NY
"Liberated. For the past 25 years I've set aside Sunday morning as 'reading time' - primarily dedicated to profession journals and business periodicals. This morning I looked at several journals in my "to read" file. and then it struck me. No need to read, label, archive and distribute any longer. No need to consider the "weight" of the evidence and if we should translate that evidence into everyday practice. Evidence in Motion has taken over those tasks for me and has not only relieved me of the responsibility but does a much more helpful and credible job of it. So I bid my journals 'adieu'."
- Rick Shutes PT, CEO Strive! Physical Therapy Centers - Ocala, FL
"I just finished my first course from your group over this last weekend. I had previously decided to take today off to recharge my batteries - and now wish I was going to the office today. In 29 yrs of practice and numerous manual therapy courses I can honestly say this course was most relevant, best "bang for your buck" course I have taken in a long time. You are raising the bar for everyone. Keep up the good work."
- Evan Jones PT OCS - Salem, OR
"The lumbopelvic course was great, especially liked the view ahead Articulate ppt presentations and 1-day hands-on format. The format was good (lots of hands on) because everyone was prepared from the pre-course readings/presentations. The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to reach folks with all levels of manual skills. Very practical stuff. With too many CE courses you wonder how (or if) the information will ever impact your practice. This can be implemented form day one return. Very valuable."
- Joe Halter - Ocala, FL
"I enjoyed the course. It was very much worth the time and expense. Actually, it was one of the best continuing ed courses I have ever attended and was the best manual therapy specific course I have taken. I will definitely partner with you again."
- John Long - Lincoln, NE
"Being able to consult with physical therapists world wide about a difficult case was amazing. I was able to get lots of different treatment ideas and my patient is doing lots better. My patient and I both benefited from this wonderful resource. Thanks!!"
- Emily Stehr - APO, AE
"Ever since the EIM blog has come online I have been a faithful reader: the blog is a great source of information and a fantastic opportunity for communication with other evidence-based health care colleagues. I recommend the EIM blog to all my entry-level and post-graduate PT and OT students. In addition, whenever the blog features an online article available at the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy website (http://jmmtonline.com/), this website instantly becomes our main source of web referrals indicating once again how many colleagues access and read this blog on a daily basis! Thanks to John and the other folks at EIM for doing the profession a great service by setting up and maintaining this blog!"
- Peter Huijbregts - Victoria, BC
"First, I'd like to thank you for your courses. It's great to be able to use your material and get instant gratification with treatment (smile). Secondly, you have helped me better understand the previous choices I've made in selecting continuing education courses; as well as organizing, better preparing, and selecting continuing education courses to come. Thirdly, because of your courses, I have become a better clinician as it relates to skills and problem solving . Lastly, you have helped motivate me in pursuing an orthopedic certification. Thank you!"
- Gena Vernon-Davis - Bronx, NY
"Thank you for all the work you have done on this website! The ability to pull up the most recent peer reviewed studies saves a TON of valuable time. I'm hoping this leads to continually higher standards of treatment in our profession globally. Thanks again for this outstanding resource!"
- John Brant - Ft Pierce, FL
"As a full time clinician, as well as clinical instructor at University of Rochester School of Medicine and New York Chiropractic College, I'm extremely impressed with your efforts to move clinical practice in the direction of evidence influenced, patient centered care. As your website alludes to, the transition will meet resistance, but will be necessary for a practice to survive."
- John M Ventura, DC - Rochester, NY
"I just took your lumbopelvic course in Phoenix (Scottsdale) over the weekend, put it to work today, and loved my results...did the same with the Cervical/thoracic course last spring in Tucson. I'm really interested in the fellowship program... Thanks for your terrific teaching, research, and passion!"
- Nick Biederwolf
"The Evidence In Motion residency program is making a big impact throughout my company. Clinicians whom have completed the program are demonstrating advanced hands-on skills and the ability to discuss relevant research, assisting increation of plans of care. These clinicians are becoming mentors to others in my company, sharing their new skill sets with colleagues. I trust their created plans of care for patients, as I feel they have an updated knowledge base to draw from."
"Just wanted to drop you a line and pass along a heartfelt 'thank you'. We took your message and curriculum to heart in June and over the summer. We got our marketing campaign rolling and have been swamped with referrals. I knew the information was good, but did not anticipate we would be dealing with so many 'good problems' (overflowing schedules, wait-lists, staffing shortages, facility limitations). Thanks again!"
- James Plummer PT, DPT (EIM Executive Program with optional Transition DPT graduate)
"Just a quick note to tell you how impressed I am with the SCS Prep course. You amaze me that you can produce this quality of work right out of the gate. I am particularly excited about the test taking strategies component. I am preparing to take my shoulder test tomorrow. The course is is so well organized which makes it so easy to feel confident but not overwhelmed with the material."
