Practice Leadership - Movers & Shakers Deep Dive | Dr Shirley Sahrmann

A large part of my approach to solving pain was learned from Dr. Shirley Sahrmann FAPTA, PhD, PT a brilliant professor out of Washington University in School of Medicine in St. Louis. Over her long career as a physical therapist, she has decoded how movement contributes to pain. I learned so much from her and ran with it over my career. Amazingly she agreed to our interview!

Interview with one of my mentors, Dr. Shirley Sahrmann FAPTA, PhD, PT

Growing up in a suburb of St. Louis, Shirley was expected to never give up. When she decided that she wanted to go to physical therapy school at Washington University, she persisted. Later, Shirley would not give up when faced with challenging questions about neurological patients in the clinic. This would lead her into a PhD program and eventually vault her into a faculty position at her alma mater. When she came up with the idea of aligning our professional identity with movement, Shirley didn't give up. 40 some-odd years later, Shirley's vision for the profession was partially realized. She continues to have ideas about where physical therapy should go in the future and what things we should jettison on the way. _____________________________________Continue the discussion and grow in the clinic in our facebook group, Mindful Clinicians.

Diagnostic Labels and Movement Expertise: An Author Interview with Dr. Shirley Sahrmann

Editor-in-Chief Alan Jette asks Dr. Sahrmann to elaborate on her thought-provoking Point of View in a conversation that acknowledges some of the differences of opinion and controversies surrounding this vital topic. What are the relationships between diagnostic labels and the critical issues that face the profession as it begins its second century—issues such as variability in practice, documentation burden, defining effective treatment strategies, and, ultimately, the success of patient outcomes? Dr. Sahrmann is author of “Defining Our Diagnostic Labels Will Help Define Our Movement Expertise and Guide Our Next 100 Years.” https://academic.oup.com/ptj/article/101/1/pzaa196/5943786

On episode 79 show I had the honor to sit down with one of the most influential people in the world of physical therapy – Shirley Sahrmann. Years ago, the physical therapy world was very much so a manual based treatment profession with very little skill in exercise. Shirley’s work over the past 6 decades has changed all this. She is credited with being one of the leaders in establishing the physical therapy profession as experts in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries through evaluation of movement (something called the movement system). This gives the PT a unique approach to helping athletes understand WHY injuries occur in the weight room and how to really go about fixing them the right way.

How Poor Movement Creates Injury with Dr. Shirley Sahrmann

Shirley Sahrmann PT, Ph.D. is a world expert at identifying how a person moves, sits, sleeps, runs... is a cause of their pain.  She has pioneered the field of physical therapy from one that takes orders from doctors, to medical professionals that can diagnose why people are in pain and what they can do to fix it.  Dr. Sahrmann stopped by the Vance Crowe studios in route to Japan, because she travels constantly to teach how to fix the physical pain felt by people.  During the interview Dr. Sahrmann discussed her philosophy on pain, why some people shouldn't play certain sports, and how simple things like the way we sit makes us feel in pain for our entire lives.

#4 | Shirley Sahrmann: A woman that can fix physical pain.

Welcome back to the podcasts!  This episode features Shirley Sahrmann.  Many of you likely know of Shirley from her research, teachings with Washington University in St. Louis, or her texts for Movement System Impairment Syndromes.  I wanted to speak with Shirley to gain a better perspective on her background and thoughts regarding her point of view.  I've noticed more in more in my own practice how much the neuromuscular system and create illusions of mechanical dysfunctions, so had thought that maybe Shirley could provide perspective on that.  Fortunately, Shirley corrected me on my perceptions about what Movement System Impairment Syndromes are.  I'd certainly love to speak with Shirley again about these topics, and more.  Please enjoy and let us know your thoughts!

Dr. Shirley Sahrmann- Moving the Physical Therapy Profession Forward

In episode 230, join us for part two with Dr. Shirley Sahrmann. She and her colleagues have developed the Movement System Impairment Syndrome approach. She’s been a leader and advocates for physical therapy over the last 60+ Years. She shares her thoughts on comparison and contrast of her approach with others including MDT. She also shares advice for us to promote ourselves and our profession and more.

Thank you!Show NotesReliability of Assessment and ResearchDr. Sahrmann agrees that it is important to have a reliable assessment method to diagnose a condition. She further talks about the current research for MSI classification system and its categories.  Similarities and Differences between Classification SystemsDr. Sahrmann believes that the biggest similarity in all systems is to find the aberrant movement; and the difference is in the way it is treated. MSI focuses on avoiding the movements that cause pain while MDT focuses on repeated movements in the opposite direction. She gives a story to support her point of view for importance of first diagnosing “what is wrong” before fixing it. The biggest benefit of which is avoiding patients returning with the same complaint periodically. In classifying and treating patients our goal is not to focus on patho-anatomy but kinesio-pathology as Dr. Sahrmann likes to call it; i.e how movements induce pathology.  Advice to the ProfessionDr. Sahrmann believes that as a non-life saving healthcare profession we are going to hit challenging times, as insurance companies focus more on getting cost out of healthcare. Hence,  it is important to make people realize how important movement is to maintain health. A recent research study by her colleague concluded that people are more inclined to adhere to movement changes with daily activities than to exercise. This finding Dr. Sahrmann believes is important to drive home the point that correcting faulty movements and teaching patients how to do it, helps them in long term.  Further Research AreasDr. Sahrmann would like to see further research projects that are able to link kinesio-pathology to patho-anatomy; understanding the effect of faulty movements on the anatomy of the joints. Improving our understanding of movement and its effects, will help decrease the variability of our profession and improve the quality we provide as therapists.  Words to the WiseDr. Sahrmann advises that it is important to have a systematic examination method that helps with pattern recognition. She further recommends to question age old assumptions that were taught and focus on more evidence based practice. Further, it is important to understand mechanics and that we examine the evidence before accepting and practicing it. The most important of all is, to diagnose and treat your patients through their lifespan.  Qualities of a Good TherapistDr. Sahrmann believes that a good therapist will have a systematic examination method for their patients, will explain and educate the patient about their findings and diagnosis and the treatment methods will by in sync with the findings of the assessment.  Dr. Sahrmann’s Quote“Today’s evidence is tomorrow’s tragedy” Helpful linksLinda Van Dillen, PT, PhD, FAPTA and her research for MSI with focused on low back painhttps://pt.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/faculty/linda-van-dillen-pt-phd/ Paula Ludewig, PhD, PT, FAPTAhttps://www.rehabmedicine.umn.edu/bio/physical-rehab-main/paula-ludewig Introduction to MSIhttps://pt.wustl.edu/education/movement-system-impairment-syndromes-courses/movement-system-impairment-resources/

She further talks about the current research for MSI classification system and its categories.  Similarities and Differences between Classification SystemsDr. Sahrmann believes that the biggest similarity in all systems is to find the aberrant movement; and the difference is in the way it is treated. MSI focuses on avoiding the movements that cause pain while MDT focuses on repeated movements in the opposite direction. She gives a story to support her point of view for importance of first diagnosing “what is wrong” before fixing it. The biggest benefit of which is avoiding patients returning with the same complaint periodically. In classifying and treating patients our goal is not to focus on patho-anatomy but kinesio-pathology as Dr. Sahrmann likes to call it; i.e how movements induce pathology.  Advice to the ProfessionDr. Sahrmann believes that as a non-life saving healthcare profession we are going to hit challenging times, as insurance companies focus more on getting cost out of healthcare. Hence,  it is important to make people realize how important movement is to maintain health. A recent research study by her colleague concluded that people are more inclined to adhere to movement changes with daily activities than to exercise. This finding Dr. Sahrmann believes is important to drive home the point that correcting faulty movements and teaching patients how to do it, helps them in long term.  Further Research AreasDr. Sahrmann would like to see further research projects that are able to link kinesio-pathology to patho-anatomy; understanding the effect of faulty movements on the anatomy of the joints. Improving our understanding of movement and its effects, will help decrease the variability of our profession and improve the quality we provide as therapists.  Words to the WiseDr. Sahrmann advises that it is important to have a systematic examination method that helps with pattern recognition. She further recommends to question age old assumptions that were taught and focus on more evidence based practice. Further, it is important to understand mechanics and that we examine the evidence before accepting and practicing it. The most important of all is, to diagnose and treat your patients through their lifespan.  Qualities of a Good TherapistDr. Sahrmann believes that a good therapist will have a systematic examination method for their patients, will explain and educate the patient about their findings and diagnosis and the treatment methods will by in sync with the findings of the assessment.  Dr. Sahrmann’s Quote“Today’s evidence is tomorrow’s tragedy” Helpful linksLinda Van Dillen, PT, PhD, FAPTA and her research for MSI with focused on low back pain<a href="https://pt.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/faculty/linda-van-dillen-pt-phd/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://pt.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/faculty/linda-van-dillen-pt-phd/</a> Paula Ludewig, PhD, PT, FAPTA<a href="https://www.rehabmedicine.umn.edu/bio/physical-rehab-main/paula-ludewig" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.rehabmedicine.umn.edu/bio/physical-rehab-main/paula-ludewig</a> Introduction to MSI<a href="https://pt.wustl.edu/education/movement-system-impairment-syndromes-courses/movement-system-impairment-resources/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://pt.wustl.edu/education/movement-system-impairment-syndromes-courses/movement-system-impairment-resources/</a>
