AT to DPT – 523

Athletic Trainer to Physical Therapist

Satisfied with your work conditions? Want to become a DPT?

Greg Perry is currently a physical therapist and athletic trainer at Houston Methodist The Woodlands. He received his DPT from UT Southwestern Medical Center in 2017, and his license in Athletic Training from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches,TX in 2013. Greg has worked in athletic training at multiple levels from high school to the NFL, as well as physical therapy primarily in the orthopedic and sports sector.

Daria Oller is a physical therapist at Foundations Physical Therapy in Washington Township, New Jersey. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Seton Hall University in 2010. Prior to that, she earned her Bachelors of Science degree in athletic training from James Madison University in 2006. She has worked in a variety of clinical athletic training settings from youth sports to collegiate, including New York University. She has also conducted youth sport injury epidemiology research at Penn State University, which has been presented and published. She specializes in dance medicine.

Both join the show podcast to discuss options for Athletic Trainers who desire something different.

I am a huge fan of Physical Therapy. One is not better than the other, as we both have our unique strengths. and weaknesses

It is easy for me to admit that almost all PTs I deal with are going to have a more thorough evaluation and rehab skill set than me.

However most PTs will also admit they do not have the same confidence in immediate eval, wound care, emergency medicine.

Why make the switch?

You may want more predictable hours
Or to only be indoors
You may want more money
You might just not be happy with your career and looking to change
The challenge of high school athletes is not enough for you
A new level of AT opens up with dual credntials

What I love about being an AT

Sports
Medical aspect
Building relationships
Mentoring students
allowing my children to come to work with me
Best seat for the games
Challenges me constantly
I get to go workout or shoot hoops as part of my job

What I wish I could change:

Games over holidays
Games on weekends
Communication with coaches
Improved care for all athletes (junior high)
Better understanding from Administration
Increased pay or decreased hours
More focus on continued learning

Want to go to PT School?

APTA has a list of all the programs here

Got Questions?

Daria is active on Social Media Daria was also on our Dance Medicine podcast

As well as Tough to Treat and Lost in the Shuffle

She also highly recommends Healthy Wealthy and Smart

PTs have to do a lot of documentation

If you are not currently using an EMR check out Dragonfly Max and start documenting.

ATs have to do a lot of hydration

Need Hydration gear: Frio Hydration is your company

Need hydration drinks: Drink HOIST

Both ATs and PTs need CEUs…

Flushing muscles after intense workouts
Getting rid of soreness
Reducing swelling
Helping the body parts feel fresh and new

RPSports; Recovery Pump; RP Sports; Brian; Carberry; Pure Flow — Probably when i first heard of passive cardio from Pure Flow

Who should get one?

These are very useful tools for almost anyone.

You
Your Athletes
Your pregnant self / wife (with doctors consent)
and… even your horse

What reasons would you not want a RPSports product?

You do not want a hygienic product.

I do not even know what it is…

Brett McQueen loves Athletic Training and nerdy stuff. He suggested we talk about Dermonueromodulation. I am learning right along with you.

What is Dermonueromodulation?

Well using my medical terminology i believe Dermonueromodulation goes like this:
Dermo – Skin
Nuero – Nerve
Modulation – Change

But beyond that I am really at a loss.

A quick google search brings up sites like:

AT Direct with Josie Harding

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

The AT Direct Team

Through volunteering at local events to gain experiences as an AT Josie Harding realized the need for Athletic Trainer services in club and youth sports.

AT Direct was the solution for staffing all the events needed in Josie's local area.

What is AT Direct?

Similar to The Business ATVantage run by Alisha Pennington AT Direct employs ATs to contract events and for schools.

They currently have a roster of about 90 ATs with 25 doing pretty much full time work.

What is the Business Model?

For Josie's company the event host pays the fee for Athletic Trainer services.

Some ATs have a pay for service model in which an athlete would pay for each evaluation, therapy or modality done.

Some get paid a flat rate for an event.

While others are hourly

Depending on how you set your contract up with Josie it will either be flat rate or hourly.

What questions should I ask before taking a job?

Ask what they want out of your services
What is expected for the AT to supply
How and when you will get paid
The hourly or flat rate
Are players, coaches and officials informed there will be an AT on site
How many sites
Will tables, tents, signage be provided

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Managing AT Direct full time. With steady growth AT direct is consuming more time and having a greater impact. I really enjoy working with youth and want to make sure I can help keep them healthy.
