    This week we got to speak with Dr. Jennifer Solomon. Dr. Solomon is an award-winning, board-certified physiatrist, specializing in spine and sports medicine. Most recently, she served as an Attending Physiatrist for 18 years at the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC.

    Dr. Solomon’s philosophy as a non-operative specialist is to properly diagnose the injury—identifying the root cause of a patient’s pain—and pursue a proactive treatment plan. Whether utilizing non-operative procedures, physical therapy, or a specified strength and conditioning plan with preventative care, Dr. Solomon works with the patient every step of the way so they can return to a pain-free, injury-free, active lifestyle.

    Dr. Solomon has served as a team physician for the United States Tennis Association (USTA) on the WTA Tour and has worked numerous sporting events, including the NYC Marathon. She has been recognized annually by Castle Connolly as one of New York’s Top Doctors since 2013. Dr. Solomon is a born and raised New Yorker and currently resides in NYC with her two daughters, Samantha and Alexis. She is an athlete at heart, having grown up as a Junior Tennis Star and collegiate tennis athlete. Dr. Solomon still plays tennis for fun, is an avid cyclist, and has a passion for all things fitness and exercise.

    In this podcast episode we got to talk about:
    - Functional and mechanical assessment
    - Research in clinical practice
    - Pros and cons of PRP injections vs other interventions
    - Building effective relationships between Physiatry and Physical Therapy

    Jennifer Solomon and her group at the Regenerative SportsCare Institute are blazing a trail for the future of MSK Medicine. It was great speaking with her and learning about the innovations coming from that area of MSK care. We hope you learn from this episode and enjoy the episode as much as we did.

    Welcome to this episode of the TelePT Connections Podcast. We went into this episode expecting it to be about the origins of telehealth and telemedicine because our guest was using video visits more than 5 years ago. So we touched on that with Dr Bragg, but you never know where a podcast episode might go. We prepare. We have our set of basic questions. Sometimes though, you have a guest who just leads with their personality and charisma and everything else is secondary. Dr Winifred Bragg is one such guest. She takes a very traditional approach to one-on-one care with her patients and makes every effort to connect with them on a personal level, all for the objective of helping them heal and feel better. She's smart, empathetic and so personable. She's a special doctor. Here's a little background on Dr Bragg...

    Winifred Bragg, MD is a nationally recognized speaker, board-certified physician and the CEO of the Spine and Orthopedic Pain Center in Norfolk, Virginia. Dr. Bragg has appeared in numerous TV and print media programs. She’s been published in Redbook, Woman’s World and Self Magazine and her online articles have had tens of thousands of views.

    During this episode we got to speak about:

    • Building a successful practice
    • Remote engagement in a family member's medical care through telehealth
    • Breaking opioid dependence
    • Walking in the footsteps of your patients
    • The Bragg Factor

    Dr. Bragg’s first book “KnockOutPain®: Secrets to Maintain a Healthy Back,” was an Amazon Best-Seller. Check it out (link below).
