I think depending on what system you're in, I've seen some people who are clinic directors after graduating in three months. The burnout is real, though.
Pain Relief University brings you an enlightening conversation with Dr. Taylor Atkins, a passionate physical therapist specialising in orthopaedics and pain science. From her beginnings in Macon, Georgia, to becoming a clinic director in Stockbridge, Taylor's journey is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode, she opens up about her personal experiences with ACL injuries and how they propelled her into the world of physical therapy.
You'll hear about her academic journey, including her time at Georgia Southern and Mercer University, where she also completed an orthopaedic residency. Taylor shares her holistic approach to pain management, emphasising the importance of health promotion and patient education. She talks about the critical role physical therapists play in improving patient outcomes and why it's essential to seek out professionals who understand the nuances of movement science.
Her work doesn't stop at the clinic; Taylor is also deeply involved in mentoring underrepresented students through her nonprofit, XC3. The episode delves into the challenges and rewards of being a clinic director, the limitations of direct access to physical therapy in Georgia, and the impact of cultural sensitivities on clinical outcomes.
Taylor’s candid discussion on the importance of patient engagement and the necessity of asking questions makes this episode a must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic pain or interested in a career in physical therapy. Why should you tune in? Because Taylor’s insights could be the key to understanding your pain and finding a path to relief that doesn’t involve surgery or medication. Plus, her story is a testament to resilience and dedication.
