The physical therapy industry is evolving and it starts with the physical therapist.
Change is hard, it needs to be systemized.
To know where we are going we have to know where we came from. In order for growth to occur we have to sustain multiple failures. Failure in real-time, while in the act of change, is not easy. It’s messy. Even more so, change is hard when dealing with people. That’s people within the physical therapy industry and people outside.
Let’s go over it on episode 4 this episode of Therapy Insiders Podcast with guests Dr. Kelly Starrett and Dr. John Rusin.
