Welcome back to The Rehab Revolution, a show dedicated to transforming the way we think about recovery, care, and community. In this powerful episode, host Steven Gariffo brings together two unique voices for a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation about what’s broken in today’s rehab and healthcare systems, and how one radical new model is shaking things up from the inside out.

You’ll hear from Dr. Gariffo, a veteran physical therapist turned founder, who opens up about the industry-wide burnout and quality gaps caused by high-volume, insurance-driven care. He explains how The Rehab Room is leading a true movement one built on trust, one-on-one attention, and treating the whole person, not just the symptom.

Joining the discussion are Chris, a visionary CEO who sees The Rehab Room as more than a clinic it’s a replicable, franchise-ready brand ready to upend the norms of healthcare, and Tim, a director of sales whose own family’s struggles with burnout bring the conversation home. Together, they discuss what makes this approach so different and why it has the power to not only heal patients but restore joy and purpose to caregivers everywhere.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked or rushed in your own healthcare journey or if you’re a clinician dreaming of a better way, this episode is for you. Tune in as we explore how real relationships, attentive care, and a patient-first philosophy can become the new gold standard in communities across America. The revolution isn’t just coming, it’s already here.
