Today, I'm excited to dive into the crucial differences between Physical Therapy and the Stretch Method. Physical Therapy focuses on restoring and maintaining physical function, utilizing hands-on techniques and exercises to help patients recover from injury or surgery. Its goal is to improve strength, flexibility, and balance while reducing pain.But here's the thing: despite Physical Therapy's value, I noticed a gap in care that inspired me to create the Stretch Method. It's a holistic approach combining physical therapy principles with reconditioning programs and preventative health strategies. Unlike conventional care, we seek to reverse pain and tightness, restoring joint mobility and breaking the cycle that leads to chronic pain.I founded this methodology to fill the gap between existing services like Physical Therapy, athletic training, personal training, and chiropractic care. I saw the need to unite these disciplines while ensuring each expert can stay in their lane. In this episode, I'll explain how our whole-body testing and treatment program helps break that deconditioning cycle, enabling our clients to regain strength, flexibility, and confidence.If you're a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant interested in becoming a Certified Stretch Mobility Coach, I'm inviting you to schedule a free coaching call with me. Together, we can expand this movement to create real change and help people lead lives without limits.Additional Resources:Interested in scheduling a discovery call with someone on the team to learn more about becoming a Stretch Mobility Coach?

PTAs - if selling scares you, don't miss this episode. Today we deep into the often intimidating world of selling for Physical Therapist Assistants and other rehabilitation professionals. Aimed at those who find the concept of selling outside their comfort zone, I explore how to effectively offer healthcare solutions without the pressure of traditional sales tactics. I break down the pervasive issues surrounding chronic pain and the extensive, often costly, journey individuals undertake in search of relief—from frequent YouTube searches to expensive visits across various medical professionals. Despite such efforts, many find only temporary fixes, leading to a cycle of pain, poor mental health, and spiraling healthcare costs.I discuss the significant impact of untreated chronic conditions on daily life and mental health, as supported by insights from the Centers for Disease Control. Furthermore, I critique the limitations of the current health insurance models that focus more on catastrophic care rather than preventative measures and long-term wellness. This episode is not just a discussion but a call to action for PTAs to embrace a holistic approach to healthcare. By aligning my services with the needs of the community, I can transition from traditional selling to becoming an integral partner in my clients' health, ultimately fostering a system that supports a thriving, healthy society. Join me as I equip you with the knowledge and confidence to transform your practice and help your clients live without limits.Additional Resources:Interested in scheduling a discovery call with someone on the team to learn more about becoming a Stretch Mobility Coach?

Welcome back to another episode of The Stretch Mobility Coach Podcast! In today's episode, I dive into a topic that may not be at the forefront of your mind, but is crucial nonetheless: are your PTA skills holding you back from achieving solo success? Many of us have been trained in traditional treatment techniques that lack the long-term benefits our clients are desperately seeking. You might be shocked to learn that the newer muscular system treatments we provide as PTAs were not actually developed with what consumers need most in mind—long-term relief and preventative care.Join me as I share insights from years of research into the deconditioning cycle, which has led my team and I to develop a new, comprehensive treatment approach. This goes beyond what we were taught as PTAs, challenging the state-of-the-art treatments we’re familiar with. I'll also share personal stories from my early days working alongside Stacy at the Beckett Clinic, where her mentorship and our ongoing professional challenges sparked the creation of innovative methods that redefined our practice.Whether you're frustrated by the limitations of your current role or seeking more autonomy to treat patients as you see fit, this episode is for you. We'll explore how these new methods can not only improve your practice but also provide a path to independence and success.I hope this conversation opens your eyes to the potential for growth beyond traditional frameworks and inspires you to think differently about your career as a PTA. Tune in, and let’s take this journey together.Additional Resources:Interested in scheduling a discovery call with someone on the team to learn more about becoming a Stretch Mobility Coach?
