Ep 54: Why Physical Therapy Didn't Work For You In The Past

📣 Why PT didn’t work for you (and what to do about it)

You did PT and didn’t get better.
Here’s why that might’ve happened 👇

1. PTs didn’t LOAD you.

You did clamshells with a red band for 6 weeks.

Y-T-I with 2# weights.

You never broke a sweat, nor thought, “Damn, that was hard.”

That’s not rehab. That’s passing time.

2. PT didn’t listen on Day 1.

You wanted to pack out an elk, they gave you Theraband rows.

You needed progressive loading, you got stretching.

You asked for results. You got “same shit, different day.”

3. You didn’t show up.
Literally, or mentally.

✅ 93% chance of getting better when you attend all sessions.

❌ 64% if you skip just one.

Also, were you challenging yourself? Or going through the motions?

4. You stopped too soon.

No pain ≠ ready for life/sport again.

You were 75% ready. You needed 2 more weeks. You bailed.

Now we’re back at square two or three. 😬

————————————————
PT ≠ “bands and stretching.”

Done right, it’s structured Strength & Conditioning with an understanding of pain, healing, and performance.

S&C applies to EVERYONE:

💪 Gertrude can’t get out of a chair = 1RM < bodyweight

💥 Diane pees when she sneezes = PF needs needs to get stronger

🧠 Dylan has a disc injury = plan based on inflammation + load

🏔 Kyle hikes = needs progressive fitness or risks plateau + injury

If you want someone who blends strength & rehab..

Not just “fix you,” but help you get after it again…

I’ve got you.

One last ask, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you have not done so already :)

Appreciate ya!
