Joe Reinke

Welcome to our recurring Money Matters segment! Every month, we're sitting down with Joe Reinke, co-founder of FitBUX, to discuss a finance issue relevant to physical therapists.  This month we're talking the PROSPER Act, or how the government could get rid of loan forgiveness. The PROSPER Act was introduced in December, and will have to make its way through Congress before June. “PROSPER” stands for Promoting Real Opportunity, Success, and Prosperity through Education Reform, and it’s the new version of the Higher Education Act. Lost yet? So were we. So we sat down with Joe Reinke, co-founder of FitBUX, who specializes in student loans to discuss the PROSPER Act. Joe has worked with over 2,000 physical therapists and student physical therapists to help determine the best way to repay the mountain of debt we accrued during school. He’s actually read the PROSPER Act, all 500 pages (but he tells us this is nothing compared to reading the tax code cover to cover). Our question for Joe was, “What do we need to know about the PROSPER Act? How will this affect me as a physical therapist?”  Talus Media Talks is a subsidiary of Talus Media: PT Views &amp; PT News.

Sarah Ecker

Welcome to week 6 of #STANDSaturday covering another corner of the clinic - Pelvic Health. Sarah Ecker, PT, DPT, PRPC, traveling PT and '11 graduate from New York University worked in the science, medicine and technology department of a publishing company in NYC when she fell in love with pelvic health. She received her Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certificate (PRPC) from the Herman and Wallace Institute. In 2016, Sarah discovered STAND, eagerly volunteered for a 2-week trip, and instantly fell in love with the project, the people of Haiti, and the amazing co-founders of the organization. Immediately recognizable to Sarah on her premier trip was the lack of care surrounding the various changes across the lifespan of women, namely encompassing obstetrics and gynecological care. Join Sarah as she discusses her journey educating families and working with cultural variations (yes, this includes Voodoo!). Trust me, she will convince you to be a STAND-Lifer.
