This past weekend, I had the pleasure of teaching my 2-day Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain course to the therapists of 3 Dimensional Physical Therapy and other outside participants. I applaud the owner, Ken Guzzardo, his partners, and his team. Ken has become a wonderful friend and colleague. I feel very fortunate to know him. A special Thank You to Jessica Valloreo, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, and Alyssa Mcminn, PT, DPT, OCS, ATC, for making this course happen! It is no easy task in this current healthcare environment to run and own a truly independent physical therapy-owned private practice. Ken and 3DPT, the entire management team, and the staff of therapists were fantastic, and they had expert manual skills. 3 DPT now has 14 clinics and has also created IPTA – Independent Physical Therapist Associates. IPTA is a group of independent physical therapy companies that will come together for billing, Human Resources, and compliance, all while each company retains its name, ownership, and community recognition, as a division of the IPTA.
Thank you to Joe Damani, PT, DPT, CCTT, who owns Skyline PT in Wyckoff, NJ, for assisting in Class. Joe has taken several of my courses, and we have become wonderful colleagues and friends. He is a very talented, knowledgeable, and skilled Physical Therapist and clinician. He has taken the treatment of TMD to a whole other level. Plus, check out his Instagram account and other social media, dude has like 2 million followers!! Way to go JOE!!
Once again, it was wonderful to be surrounded by such talented Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants, Chiropractors, and Dentists who were in attendance. As always, there was amazing dialogue, sharing, and collaboration among professions!
I am excited and thankful for all who attended to either start or expand their TMD Niche. Thanks to Ken and his team for the invite and hosting, keep up the great work 3DPT!
