TheraCast

TheraCast is a podcast for therapists who want to understand what shapes patient outcomes beyond the clinic visit. Each episode examines the cognitive, behavioral, social, and structural forces that influence adherence, motivation, recovery, and long-term engagement in care. Topics include how patients interpret instructions, why home programs drift, how rewards and feedback shape behavior, and how real-world barriers like time, finances, transportation, and fatigue alter clinical plans.The show blends neuroscience, psychology, rehabilitation science, and lived clinical experience to translate research into practical insight. Episodes are designed for thoughtful listening and favor depth over soundbites, with narrative explanations that connect evidence to day-to-day practice. TheraCast is written and voiced by a practicing hand therapist and is intended for clinicians who want clearer models of patient behavior, more realistic expectations of follow-through, and better tools for designing care that works between sessions.
