Here’s what’s new this week as we build Future Proof PT in public:

  • We enabled the “audio” version of this newsletter. If you click on the audio option, you will hear an AI-generated female voice read this article for you!

  • We have our first guest join the pod! It went so well, we decided to focus on guests instead of just the two of us!

  • We edited down to under 45 minutes to make it easier to digest

  • We recorded an intro separately and spliced it into the edited recording, and figured out how to increase the volume of the speaker and lower the volume of the music. Let us know what you think!

  • We created a template in Beehiiv to speed up the process of publishing the episode on our site

About the episode 👇️ 

This week, we welcomed veteran physical therapist Ben Galin, PT, DPT to the Future Proof PT studio to discuss the critical evolution of physical therapy practice. With 25 years of diverse clinical experience, Ben shares valuable insights on the transition from traditional fee-for-service models to value-based care.

We talk to Ben about the history of PT treatment approaches and the links between treatment and payment incentives. Then we cover the important, often overlooked and valuable therapists skillset of meaningful patient interactions. We touch on digital health integration and the role it plays in evolving treatment in the therapy space.

We also touch on interesting topics like the strategic use of the placebo effect by experienced therapists, the role of professional networks, and how important it is for therapists to adopt a new mindset around what does and doesn’t matter.
