Bone marrow transplants (BMT) are a cornerstone of hematologic cancer treatment.  However, the thought of BMT often scares PTs out of our minds.

Especially for us in outpatient cancer rehab, we may think that we won’t encounter these patients.

But here’s the truth: we WILL see these patients.  My first experience was a complete surprise: my patient came to see me in outpatient physical therapy AFTER their bone marrow transplant.  So I was totally unprepared!

Thankfully, today's guest Dr. Adam Matichak, PT is an expert in all things BMT.

In today’s interview, we chat about the basics of BMT, what every OncoPT needs to know about BMT, & how we can navigate care with this highly dynamic group of patients.
