Have you ever wondered, “how should I be prescribing home exercise programs” or “what type of approach is best to address my patient’s upper extremity dysfunction?”Anthony Mucci COTA, discusses how we should be using a combination of a biomechanical frame of reference, in conjunction with occupation based techniques, to help our patients achieve their optimal outcomes. It is definitely not a “one-size-fits-all” approach!

Quite an enlightening discussion Mandy & Anthony Mucci, thanks for making us all better clinicians????
Thank you Thaydene! It was a great convo 🙂
Just wondering, are there any printed versions of the podcast? I find it easier to process information when I can read, rather than listen. All the topics have been pretty useful so far, so thank you very much!
I do not have written show notes at this time. Thank you so much for listening!
Thank you for having me Mandy! It was an honor and privilege to have this discussion with you.
I am glad to hear that this discussion helped in some way Thaydene. I know it did for me!
It was great! Thank you Anthony for sharing your passions and spreading the #OTlove
YOUR INFORMATION IS SO… SO USEFUL. THANKS.
I am so glad, Sara! Thanks for listening!
Great podcast, Mandy! And Anthony it’s good to know that a fellow Navy Vet (I was an Airframer) is thriving in the world of OT as a COTA. The information discussed are very helpful since I am a new grad/certified OTA and a bit lost on which setting I should dive into. My fieldwork experience was pediatrics (school and outpatient), do you have tips on how I can start with the adult population on an entry-level position given that I have very minimal experience? More power, thanks!
I think sometimes it is getting your feet in the door with prn if you cannot find a position to gain experience. Eager to learn, fast learner, team player, passion for setting, continuing eduation

I absolutely agree with Mandy. PRN is a great way to try out a setting/company without having any strings attached so to speak. Also, many times when companies look to hire part time or full time, they go through their PRN people first and offer the position. Thank you for your service Jonny. Hooyah!
