This episode of Badass Clinicians is a repost from when Natty was a guest on The Maestro on the Mic Podcast. Here's the description from the original podcast:“All Italian restaurants make penne alla vodka, but only a few make a truly great dish. Stick with me here, I promise it'll make sense in a PT context.Dr. Natty Bandasack is an ACL rehab pro. He's SO good that he wrote a whole-ass book containing everything needed to recover from an ACL injury, and he wrote with athletes, parents, and coaches in mind—no confusing medical terms that real patients don't understand. Dr. Natty knows what he's good at, and he's doubled down on it. Sure, plenty of PT clinics might know a thing or two about ACL rehab, but Natty and his Myokinetix team are experts. See what I mean about the penne alla vodka? Know your strengths and focus on what you're good at. Niching down means you help more people, and you make far more of an impact than just knowing a little bit about everything. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL HEAR:Why Natty wanted to write his bookChanging the health care system from the bottom upPushback from PTs (and why Natty doesn't care)A penchant for ACLsNatty's historyWhat life and business looks like nowWhy so many ACL tears?Advice for building relationships and networkingThe Myokinetix modelTaking insurance and finding clientsThe benefits of niching downYou can do everything you set your mind to”

While on the podcast, Natty and Danny discuss what it means to be successful clinicians. They recognize how important it is to be conscious of how you are treating fellow clinicians, your employees, and the students they work with that come to learn with them. Dr. Danny also has his own manual therapy technique called Myo (muscle) Melt, which he combines with movement to find success for his patients. Danny was also a ballroom dancer for years before becoming a physical therapist. Seeing dancers become injured is actually what inspired him to become a physical therapist, as he felt dancers did not have resources available to them to explain and help with their injuries.
