{APTA CSM Preview} CIPN, Balance, and Breathing: An Interactive Workshop on Manual Therapy, Diaphragmatic Breathing, and Improving Balance
Manage episode 464936218 series 3362507
Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is more than just numbness and tingling.
With up to 83% of patients experiencing persistent CIPN, oncoPTs need practical, evidence-based strategies to address these challenges head-on.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Katie Schmitt, PT, to discuss an innovative, hands-on approach to treating CIPN, improving balance, and integrating breathwork into cancer rehab.
We explore the role of manual therapy in nerve stimulation, how diaphragmatic breathing enhances core control, and why these techniques should be part of every oncology PT’s toolbox.
Plus, we’ll cover practical takeaways that you can apply in the clinic immediately.
If you’re looking to elevate your approach to CIPN and fall prevention, don’t miss this conversation!
