Free Chapter 1 of Stop Guessing, my clinical reasoning system for getting to root cause on day one:⁠https://performancerehab.co/waitlist-...⁠

This episode is for early-career outpatient ortho PTs, especially those with desire to open their own cash-based practice, who feel like they've collected courses without ever closing the gap between knowledge and a real system. Sammy is a three-year PT who stacked manual therapy, Olympic lifting, and online courses but still felt like he was shooting in the dark on treatment plans and considered a residency before finding PRA instead. After going through the program, he built the confidence to treat anybody who walks through the door, including outside his usual population, and is now opening a cash-based volleyball-focused clinic with his wife. This is the right episode for any clinician on the fence about investing in clinical skill before they start charging out-of-pocket rates.

He took a manual therapy course, an Olympic lifting course, and several online courses. He still felt like he was shooting in the dark with treatment plans. Sammy is a three-year outpatient ortho PT opening a cash-based clinic with his wife, and this episode is for any clinician who's collected knowledge without ever getting a system to put it together.

In this episode you'll see how:

Sammy went from taking course after course without a system to confidently treating any patient who walks through the door, including outside his usual population.

He considered committing to a multi-year residency before finding a path that fit around his actual life and built clinical confidence faster.

His treatment planning shifted from a trial-and-error, shot-in-the-dark approach to a repeatable system he trusts to deliver results every time.

He uses the framework to confidently program pushing, pulling, hinging, squatting, and running movements on top of solid clinical groundwork instead of building fitness over dysfunction.

He's opening a cash-based clinic with his wife targeting the volleyball community, with the clinical confidence to back the price point.

He moved from feeling like he didn't have anyone to confirm his treatment decisions were correct to trusting a system that's been proven repeatedly with real patients.
