In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Matt Byrne, Executive Director for Provider Partnerships at FIGUR8, Inc., to discuss the untapped potential of workers' compensation in physical therapy—and why ignoring this market could be a costly mistake. FIGUR8 provides the first FDA-registered, objective musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment tool, replacing outdated subjective methods and driving better patient outcomes.Matt challenges the common misconceptions about workers' comp, revealing why it's one of the highest-paying and most underserved segments in PT. With 900,000+ MSK claims annually—each costing employers $35K–$65K—he breaks down how clinics can leverage objective data to streamline care, reduce claim costs, and attract referrals from the many key stakeholders involved with workers' comp claims.Key Takeaways:• Workers' Comp Is a $1.35B Opportunity: At 12 visits per claim and $125/visit, this market is ripe for clinics willing to embrace it.• Data = Leverage: FIGUR8's technology replaces guesswork with biomechanical insights, justifying care plans and speeding up return-to-work timelines.• Better Payer Mix, Fewer Patients: Workers' comp reimburses higher than Medicare and commercial insurance—meaning clinics can increase revenue while seeing fewer patients.• Stop the Staffing Shortage Myth: Optimizing payer mix (e.g., shifting from 3% to 10% workers' comp) can ease clinician burnout and boost margins.• The "Hub-and-Spoke" Model: Hire one dedicated workers' comp PT to train staff and oversee high-value services (e.g., functional capacity exams billed at $800–$1,200 each).If you're tired of chasing shrinking reimbursements and want a proven way to serve your community and your bottom line, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this solo episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry dives into the transformative role of AI voice agents in healthcare—specifically on the non-clinical, pre-arrival side of operations. Jerry shares his firsthand experience working with AI voice technology over the past year, detailing how it's reshaping patient intake, scheduling, benefit checks, and cost callbacks, without replacing human roles.Key Takeaways:- AI voice agents are revolutionizing pre-arrival workflows—but success hinges on understanding your practice's people, processes, and patient journey before implementing the tech. - Workflow is everything: AI should be strategically inserted into existing systems, not haphazardly overlaid. His case study reveals how mapping out SOPs and scripts upfront slashed onboarding time and costs. - Human-AI collaboration is key: One client retained staff for quality assurance and follow-up, proving AI works best when complementing—not eliminating—human touchpoints. - The patient experience gap: With healthcare admin satisfaction at historic lows, Jerry argues AI voice agents can reduce friction (like phone trees and portals) while building trust.

Getting a good night's sleep is something that benefits everyone. And if you're someone who's living with MS, it's perhaps even more important. But research suggests that more than half the people living with MS experience poor sleep. Dr. Katie Siengsukon, the Director of the Sleep, Health, and Wellness Lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, returns to the podcast to discuss the importance of good sleep hygiene, along with steps you can take to improve the quality of your sleep. We're also explaining how changes in U.S. public policy will impact people with MS. We'll tell you about an algorithm developed at Duke University that can predict (with 80-90% accuracy!) whether someone's MS symptoms will worsen in the weeks ahead. We'll share study results that show MS accelerates biological aging among children and teens with MS. We'll explain why this finding can also be applied to adults with MS, and what it means. And we'll tell you about the biotech start-up that has succeeded at bringing the brains of people who have passed away back to life, and we'll explain why that can have a major impact on CNS disease research.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Doc Coleman, a physical therapist specializing in athletic rehabilitation, takes us deep into the misunderstood world of hip pain—specifically femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). This condition affects countless young athletes but is frequently misdiagnosed as simple IT band tightness or dismissed because of the misconception that hip problems only affect older adults.With surgical precision, Doc Coleman breaks down the anatomy of hip impingement, explaining how bony buildups on either the femur (cam) or pelvis (pincer) create friction that can damage the labrum. The telltale signs are unmistakable once you know what to look for: C-shaped pain wrapping around the hip, pinching sensations during deep flexion, catching feelings during normal activities like walking, and discomfort with prolonged sitting.For fitness professionals, this episode serves as an essential field guide to navigating hip pain in clients. Doc Coleman offers clear guidance on which movements to modify, which mobility exercises actually help, and most importantly—when to refer out to a physical therapist. His approach emphasizes that conservative management through targeted mobility work and glute strengthening can be effective, but only if you're seeing improvement within 6-8 weeks.Perhaps the most valuable takeaway is Doc's passionate plea for greater collaboration between trainers and physical therapists. "We're not trying to take clients from you," he emphasizes. "I want to get them better and back to you as quickly as possible." This partnership approach benefits everyone, especially clients who receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.Whether you're a fitness professional working with clients experiencing hip pain or someone dealing with that mysterious catching sensation yourself, this episode provides clarity on a condition that's frequently misunderstood and mismanaged.

In this episode of the Postural Restoration podcast i am joined by Michael Pedersen, DPT, PTA, PRC. Michael started his clinical career after earning his associates as a Physical Therapy Assistant and taking his first job with The Therapy Network in Newtown, VA. Michael was first introduced to Physical Therapy alongside his work with swimmers as a swim coach and the team of providers this exposed him to. Following his PTA program and starting to work in the clinic Michael was introduced to PRI early on in his career by Laurie Johnson, who was at the time his clinical director and the one who offered him a job. During this time our lives adapted to COVID and much of Michael's course exposure to the science took place via the online coursework, as both he and Laurie immersed themselves in the concepts, taking dozens of courses within only a couple years. Michael credits the results he saw clinically for igniting his passion for the science of Postural Restoration.Over the next several years Michael dove in to any content he could related to the implementation of PRI. Studying Neal Hallinan YouTube videos, attending courses, and working to apply it in the clinic setting alongside Laurie. This eventually led him to apply for and earn his PRC credentialing as part of the PRC class of 2022, two years following his first course. Michael discusses the desire to implement PRI to the fullest within his scope of practice while at the same time continuing to dice deeper into thew science itself. Because of what he now knew and saw work successfully, for his patients in front of him, Michael realized that he desired to go back to school with the goal of becoming a Physical Therapist.Around the time that Michael earned his PRC he applied and was accepted to South College in Knoxville, TN allowing him to take part in their hybrid DPT program. This allowed him the flexibility to complete schooling while only having to do so in person periodically. Following this program Michael had the opportunity to spend his last clinical rotation at the Hruska Clinic where he has spent the last 10 weeks. Michael credits his time in the clinic with helping him better understand when and how to integrate with other professionals and with the smaller things like technique implementation and making sure PRI objective testing is utilized to guide treatment. Michael and I discuss the importance of getting people upright, sooner rather than later, and one of his desires to help patients handle load better in an upright position whether under additional load or just managing gravity on a day to day basis.Michael has a unique experience having been exposed to PRI so early in his career and also having great mentorship around him throughout his journey, and now aims to build upon his experience utilizing PRI as a PTA as he returns to clinical care as a DPT. Michael has a strong interest in Brazilian Jujitsu, Swimming, and many other modalities such as dry needling and manual therapy as he utilizes them to aide in a PRI program. Michael's goal is to now utilize everything he has learned from PT schooling, mentorship along the way and time within the PRI community to address the person in front of him for their unique needs, implementing PRI to its fullest whether individually or as part of an interdisciplinary team.

Save your knees and shoulders from the little discomfort doing usual activities or some swelling and inflammation. If you aren't sure whether you need physical therapy, you should get a referral, just need a massage or to lay off for a few days, this is your episode. I'm no stranger to physical therapy, but I am a foreigner in seeking support for any issues I've got. Mine have all come from some acute trauma or injury. I knew it and the answer was obvious, maybe for you too — to save your knees and shoulders without surgery! My Guest: Dr. David Middaugh is a specialist physical therapist who helps people avoid unnecessary surgery while getting back to being healthy, active, and mobile. He coaches people online and has a clinic where people are treated in person. His contrarian treatment approaches are focused on addressing the root cause of problems like arthritis and tendon tears so that people have the most control over their health. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:10:58] What makes you different from other physical therapists? [00:14:12] Is it actually possible to heal osteoarthritis without surgery? [00:20:28] What is unique about how you help people with knee pain? [00:37:30] What about people with shoulder pain? What is Manual Physical Therapy? Hands-on body work to manipulate the soft tissues like your muscles, tendons, ligaments tend to be pretty good at moving the joints. Fixing the root problem of knee and shoulder pain issues through movement. Focused on fascia techniques and fascia related treatments. What Really Works to Save Your Knees and Shoulders? Knees What to work on? Glutes. If you have weakness in the glutes, that's when the quads get over dominant. The Science: Quads have been overused causing knee arthritis or meniscus tear. What to do? Do your exercises primarily with your glutes. Your hamstrings and quads will still work – they just need to work secondary. Can you figure out how to make your glutes contract apart from your thigh muscles? It's more gaining mental control over your muscles. Stop walking. Turn on your glutes first. Shoulders What to work on? Upper traps (trapezius). If you have weak traps, there is more stress and tension holding the weight of the arm, shoulders and maybe chest.. The Science: Rotator Cuff tears are one of the biggest problems because of weak upper traps. What to do? Shrug every time you reach up to use your traps. This preserves your ball and socket joint. If you don't shrug, the socket faces outwards and compresses tissues.

Scott Feil speaks with clinician, educator, and thought leader Dr. Mark Kargela about the limitations of traditional tissue-based physical therapy models and the rise of pain science-informed care. From his own educational journey and disillusionment with manual therapy to embracing ambiguity and patient-centered narratives, Dr. Kargela shares insights on how clinicians can better address the complex 10–20% of patients who don't respond to conventional care. The conversation dives into how physical therapists can use psychologically informed strategies, adopt wellness-based business models, and even leverage epigenetics and culturally aware care to improve long-term outcomes. If you're a PT, educator, or student, this episode is a masterclass in clinical growth, communication, and the future of healthcare delivery.
