CGH #036: Evidence, Science And Beliefs

Friday, 03 February 2012 17:33 Written by Allan Besselink

lectern shotThe podcast “Consumer’s Guide To Health” returned to the airwaves a couple of weeks ago. This biweekly podcast and live stream airs on BlogTalkRadio every second Thursday at 11:00am central time. Join the discussion!

This episode is entitled “Evidence, Science, And Beliefs”. There have been countless treatment approaches that have utilized theoretical models that have little to no scientific evidence. Evidence-based practice should be viewed as "science-based practice". There is a huge impact of beliefs and perceptions on clinical practice. This episode discusses these issues and the impact they have on the quality of health and health care globally.

There are 35 previous episodes currently available on my BlogTalkRadio channel. You can subscribe via RSS or the podcasts are also available on iTunes.

The next episode will be on Thursday, February 16.

With the resumption of the podcast, I am adding a little something extra: an accompanying transcript from the show. For those who would prefer to read instead of listen - enjoy!

Rhubarb Report 058

Friday, 18 January 2013 17:00 Written by Allan Besselink

Rheum rhabarbarum - Rhubarb

Flip flops. You see a lot of them in Austin in the summer time. The perfect summer time footwear.

You also frequently see a different kind of "flip flop" in the world of politics, when legislators suddenly change their stance on an issue to fall in line, gain political leverage, or improve their likability. But these "flip flops" are no longer limited to politics. The world of sport is rampant with them now. Sadly, the "flip flop" appears to have become the norm these days.

With that in mind, episode 058 of the Rhubarb Report deals with just a few flip flops, fiascos, and some words from FDR.

Taking Ownership Of Movement, Exercise, And Function

Thursday, 08 May 2014 08:35 Written by Allan Besselink

New CarPhysical therapy is the future of health care. There. I said it - a pretty strong stance, indeed, given where we currently stand in the world.

The future of health care is going to be directly related to activity, lifestyle, movement, exercise, and ultimately, function. And who better to lead the fray?

There is just one problem with my premise. Physical therapists need to choose to believe it - and to have the guts to take ownership of it while acting in accordance with it.

Rhubarb Report 057

Friday, 04 January 2013 09:54 Written by Allan Besselink

Rheum rhabarbarum - RhubarbWelcome to 2013. The new year brings with it the refreshing sense of a clean slate. Tabula rasa. Raise a glass for the excitement ahead.

But then we are hit by the realization that January 1 looks a whole lot like December 31 – just add champagne and a ball dropping in Times Square.

Another year is upon us, and as always, yesterday’s rhubarb is tomorrow’s humor. An humor is always plentiful. Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Here is Episode 57 of the Rhubarb Report.
