The SCAPTA Research and Education Committee looks forward to receiving platform presentation proposals for the 2019 SCAPTA Annual Conference, “Transforming Society Through Healing,” to be held March 22-23, 2019 at The Kroc Center in Greenville, SC. We are using a new format for this conference. Instead of posters, we are requesting that research presenters present their research in a 5x5 presentation, using a maximum of 5 slides in 5 minutes maximum time. Platforms will be considered in the areas of orthopaedics, neurology and neurorehabilitation. Platform presentations will take place in 2 separate session rooms on Saturday, March 23, 2019 from 10:30-11:00. Platform presentations are reports in which information is summarized using brief written statements and graphic materials, such as photographs, charts, graphs, and/or diagrams. The submission deadline is February 1, 2019. The Call for Platform Presentations can be found here.
Plan to join your colleagues for 2 days of educational programming at The Kroc Center in Greenville, SC on March 22-23, 2019. In addition to innovative programming, the conference offers the opportunity to visit with exhibitors and recruiters, to attend the Membership Lunch and Business Meeting, and to socialize during our networking events. New to the conference this year is the inaugural Lisa Saladin Lecture Series. We are honored to name this lecture series after such a great leader and inspirational physical therapist. Please visit the SCAPTA conference web page (www.scapta.org) to see the program schedule, review educational session descriptions and register today! Take advantage of registration rate discounts by registering by March 8.

Unless you have a complete monopoly (or run an incredibly niche-based practice), word-of-mouth efforts generally won’t keep your clinic’s doors open. Marketing is an essential part of running a healthy PT clinic, and while many clinics keep a dedicated marketing specialist on staff, smaller clinics might not have the budget to do so. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to leverage existing clinical staff to help with marketing efforts—and they’ll get the chance to flex their creative muscles in the process!

Physical therapists in private practice are often challenged by the process, with costly, time-intensive campaigns often leaving one questioning the effectiveness of their marketing efforts. Alternatively, when marketing is ignored as a business function, practice owners wonder why they do not have enough new patients to thrive. A successful marketing plan is not just a random assortment of social media posts, events, advertisements, a functioning website, and visits to referral sources when time permits.

It’s a problem no one really wants to talk about — the bladder leaks that can occur when women sneeze, laugh, cough or exercise.
It’s also relatively common: as many as one in three women may be affected by what’s known as stress urinary incontinence, the most common type of incontinence, sometime during their lifespan. So may one in 10 men, most of them after prostate surgery.

There’s a lot of confusion around whether PTs can bill for assessment and management time. The short answer is “yes,” PTs can—and should—account for assessment and management time in their billing and documentation. Yet, as it stands, many PTs don’t.
