Beyond Local picks up its “Get to Know LSEO” series, this week featuring Finance Manager Adam Bravyak. Even though he’s more of a back-of-house kind of guy, Adam’s an important part of the culture here at LSEO. In fact, it was our culture that first brought him to us. “Since being here, I could definitely vouch for that from a culture standpoint,” he tells Jeff and Steve in the podcast booth. Adam also gently informs Jeff and Steve that they’ve probably been using “spoiler alert” incorrectly for weeks, and he clears the air that he was not, in fact, searched at the border on his latest trip to Costa Rica.

WURD host Charles Ellison chats with Meg Kalafsky of the Penn Memory Center and Dr. Patience Lehrman from Temple about a unique approach to combating the effects of isolation in older adults.

WURD host Charles Ellison interviews Amina Whittaker and Stormy Kelsey about this youth-led public access media program helping young Philadelphians cover issues important to, and about, them.

This marks about the halfway point in Our Radical Relief series. We are recovering three-time tested and science-backed approaches for the treatment of chronic pain, which include pain neuroscience education, mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy. This episode focuses on the evolution and the nurturing of mindfulness-based physical therapists. Starting to train and embed mindfulness, both as a process as well as a treatment approach for physical therapists. I'll be speaking with Dr. Annette Willgens about mindfulness.

She is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences in the Program of Physical Therapy at Temple University. As Director of Admissions, her scholarly agenda includes physical therapy student success, resilience to stress and effective domain skills across the curriculum. That has published two papers on mindfulness for the student physical therapist and its impact on resiliency and usefulness in clinical practice.

In this episode, you'll learn about the neuroscience supporting mindfulness, how mindfulness works and why training in mindfulness is important for both the student physical therapist, as well as a licensed physical therapist out in the field. This is a pivotal episode in Our Radical Relief series with regards to mindfulness, for physical therapists and other licensed health professionals. Let's begin and let's meet Dr. Annette Willgens.
