If you’re honest, are you actually getting the outcomes you thought you would when you became a clinician?In this interview, Josh shares how he went from frustrated, technique-heavy manual work to a clear root‑cause framework that helps him clean up chronic pain in people who’ve “tried everything.”

You’ll learn:

Why seeing patients after 10 PTs and surgeries exposed his own skill ceiling.

How PRA’s myotome-based framework helped him stop chasing symptoms and find true drivers.

How he combines root-cause reasoning with his neural pairing / soft-tissue skill set.

The way he educates patients on the injury cycle, load, and mechanical stressors (like walking in Paris).

How he uses guarantees and clear expectations to build trust in a cash-pay practice.

The uncomfortable truth: when you “can’t help” someone, it usually means you’ve hit your current knowledge limit.

Feeling like the “wrong” clinician every time an ortho patient hits your schedule? You’re not alone.

In this interview, Kylie shares how she went from anxious, overthinking ortho evals to running a clear system that gets faster outcomes for complex patients.You’ll learn:

What it feels like to be thrown into ortho without a real framework.

The dead‑end of piecing together random courses vs a full algorithm.

How she started using PRA’s system the very next day in clinic.

The impact on her confidence and stress level treating painful spines.

How explaining the “light at the end of the tunnel” changes patient buy‑in.

Her honest take on the financial discomfort of joining PRA (and if it was worth it).

If you’ve ever sat in an eval silently thinking “I have no idea what’s going on,” you’ll see yourself in this conversation. Matt went from engineer to PT, then from relying on SFMA and dry needling to feeling like a failure on complex cases… to running a growing out-of-network clinic built on clarity, outcomes, and referrals.

In this episode, you’ll see how he:

• Hit the ceiling of SFMA + local tissue protocols when chronic, weird-pattern pain didn’t respond

• Lost patients and confidence on stubborn elbow and hip cases he now recognizes as spine-driven

• Used PRA to learn systematic cervical and lumbar clearing so “elbow” and “hip impingement” finally made sense

• Stopped feeling guilty charging premium rates because he could explain and prove his reasoning

• Turned painful failures into fuel instead of staying stuck in shame early in his career

• Opened a performance-forward clinic inside a CrossFit gym and had a record month by letting his skillset be his best marketing

If you’ve ever thought “I can help function, but I’m not sure I can help pain,” you’re in the same boat Jensen was in.

She left school feeling like she knew how to pass tests and not hurt anyone… then froze when a real human walked in.

This interview walks through how she stopped “wait and see” PT and built a reasoning system she can trust.

In this interview, you’ll see how:

The jump from acute athletic training to chronic outpatient cases left a big gap in her reasoning

Trial‑and‑error, “we’ll see how it goes” treatment and pattern recognition weren’t enough for complex, long‑standing pain

PRA’s framework gave her a way to find the true driver instead of just doing more “good exercises”

One simple lifestyle change plus targeted work fixed a patient’s nagging pain in days instead of months

Her mindset flipped from “it’s not my fault school didn’t teach me this” to “it is my responsibility to close this gap”

Clinical Mastery Week let her test the waters, but coaching, accountability, and depth were what actually changed how she practices

If you’ve ever been so over the system that you considered leaving PT altogether, Lisa’s story is for you.After 14+ years across outpatient, inpatient, ED, and hospital work, she was ready to walk away before deciding to bet on herself and her clinical brain.Inside PRA, she found a reasoning framework that made everything finally make sense again.

In this interview, you’ll see how:

• She went from hospital burnout and “I might just be a school secretary” to running a clinic she actually loves

• Moving beyond pattern recognition helped her stop treating only what hurt and start finding the true driver faster

• A simple shift (not skipping the neck just because it’s pain‑free) unlocked clearer wins in complex upper‑quarter cases

• She used traction and positional testing to show an airport worker with hand pain that the real source was her neck, with pain gone after one session

• Lifting mechanics training finally got her CrossFitter husband to listen and reduced his deadlift‑related back pain

• PRA became the first CE in years that felt cohesive, easy to integrate daily, and actually exciting to learn

Tired of hoping your eval “works out” and praying that press-ups fix everything?

In this interview, Andy shares how PRA gave him a repeatable way to find the root cause on Day 1 and rebuilt his confidence as a clinician.

If you’re a PT or rehab chiro who cares deeply about results and word of mouth, this is for you.

In this video, you’ll see how:

Andy went from McKenzie-only, fingers‑crossed treatments to a clear, algorithmic reasoning process

He stopped feeling like an impostor and started confidently explaining exactly what was going on to patients

Better outcomes turned into stronger word of mouth and a full schedule without heavy marketing

His practice climbed from scary $7–12k months to ~300k/year while having his first baby

PRA’s “learn today, apply today” structure let him study in the car and gym and see immediate changes in the clinic

Focusing on being more helpful (not more “salesy”) actually made charging premium rates easier

Struggling with patient objections during the plan of care discussion? In this post, we break down the most common barriers—from cost concerns to commitment issues—and show you simple, effective ways to handle them with confidence and empathy. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or new to patient communication, learn practical strategies to turn objections into opportunities for better outcomes and stronger patient trust.

Most PTs do myotome testing wrong. Sloppy setup, poor resistance, no clarity… and it weakens the entire neuro vital sign assessment. If you miss neurological fatigability, you're going to find yourself confused later on during a plateau.If you’re not creating a plan based on the results of testing… you’re guessing.

In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to do lumbar myotome testing the right way:

• Step-by-step setup for each lumbar myotome

• How to apply resistance cleanly and consistently

• How to get information most clinicians miss

• Why myotomes are a critical neuro vital sign in your eval
  When you test myotomes correctly, you stop guessing and start leading with clarity.
