  Isokinetics 101: Testing, Treatment, and Return on Investment

  Sep 21, 202631 minS2

  Isokinetics isn't the dusty lab equipment you remember from school. It's a clinical weapon most PTs never learn to use. In this episode, John Allan Furgeson, DPT sits down with Dr. Daniel Bodkin to break down why isokinetic testing and treatment deserve a real spot in your return-to-sport protocol, not a footnote. What we cover: Why functional tests alone miss what isokinetics catches. Hop tests and force plates can't isolate a muscle group or expose a concentric-eccentric deficit. Isokinetics can. How a full testing battery, not a single test, cuts re-tear rates in returning athletes. If you don't have this equipment in-house, build a relationship with a clinic that has it and get access to data your competitors can't offer. Treatment applications beyond testing. Multi-angle isometrics, slow eccentrics, high-speed training, and the crossover effect for training the uninvolved limb. The business case. Advanced equipment isn't just clinical capability, it's a referral magnet. Free tests for local physicians and teams build trust and convert to patients, including the hard cases other facilities gave up on. If you're serious about return-to-sport outcomes and building a practice that stands out, this is required listening. Social Media: Rehab2Perform R2P Academy Dr. Daniel Bodkin

  Re-Teaching the Sprint: A Phase-Based Approach to Returning to Max Speed

  Sep 7, 202624 minS2

  Most clinicians wait too long to introduce sprinting mechanics in rehab, then wonder why the jump to full speed feels like zero to a hundred. John Allan Furgeson, DPT, sits down with Dr. Azita Nejaddehghan to break down how to scale acceleration and deceleration work down to technical, low-load pieces early in the rehab process instead of saving them for the final phase. Sprinting phases can be trained at submax-effort while isolating movement patterns and muscles before getting back to max-effort sprints. What they cover: Why deceleration training and eccentric strength work are not the same thing, and how to train deceleration early using yielding and overcoming isometrics How to isolate sprint phases like late swing to prove to an athlete their body can tolerate the pattern before testing max effort Matching objective testing with visual observation to find the real rate-limiting deficit, strength, confidence, or something else entirely Why an experienced athlete's subjective feedback on compensation is an underused diagnostic tool The control-to-chaos continuum: moving return-to-sport from anticipatory to reactive, individual to team, closed to open Why every clinician should get on the field and sprint and cut themselves before programming it for someone else Rehab doesn't fail at max effort. It fails months earlier, when nobody trained the pattern at all. Social Media: Rehab2Perform R2P Academy Dr. Azita Nejaddehghan

  Culture First, Numbers Second: The System Behind Maximizing Group Training

  Aug 24, 202638 minS2

  Rigid periodization plans die the moment a season starts. This coach provides us his tips and tricks for building this into his athlete's program. John Allan Furgeson, DPT sits down with Coach Matt Schuler, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at McDaniel College, to break down what a provider-led, athlete-first training model actually looks like in practice. Not a philosophy. An operational framework: a long conjugate sequential model that develops multiple qualities at once, shifting focus week to week based on what the team needs, not what a template says. What's cover: Why rigid long-term plans fail athletes in-season The long conjugate sequential model behind his offseason programming How Reps in Reserve lets a freshman and a senior train the same program at different intensities Why he trains entire teams together instead of individualizing everything Olympic lifts vs. loaded jumps, and how training age decides the answer His advice for young coaches who want to actually last in this field Great programming isn't a plan you protect. It's a system flexible enough to survive the season when things start to stray from the norm. Social Media: Rehab2Perform R2P Academy Coach Matt Schuler

  Growth Without Sacrifice: How Provider-Led Healthcare Scales

  Aug 10, 202619 minS2

  Private equity doesn't have to be the villain of healthcare, but it changes the math. When non-providers start running provider spaces, the metrics shift from patient outcomes to productivity targets, and staff feel that pressure first. In this episode, John Allan, DPT sits down with Dr. Josh Funk, CEO of Rehab 2 Perform, to break down what a provider-led alternative actually looks like in practice. Not a mission statement. An operational framework: an 80/20 rule where 80% of capacity goes to production and 20% is protected on purpose for staff wellness, collaboration, and continuing education. What they cover: Why private equity ownership shifts incentives away from patient care The 80/20 rule behind a provider-led business model The metrics that matter more than revenue: net promoter score, staff retention, patient outcomes Balancing consumer and clinician branding during expansion Why every clinician needs basic business literacy, and what it unlocks The importance of asking questions Growth means nothing if it costs the people delivering the care. This episode highlights how to build it differently. Social Media: Rehab2Perform R2P Academy Dr. Josh Funk

  Clinic to Courtside: The Priorities of Pro Basketball Rehab

  Jul 27, 202625 minS2

  Most clinicians think about return to sport as the finish line. What gets missed is everything that happens before that — the off-season decisions, the testing philosophy, and the role clarity that actually determines whether an athlete comes back stronger. In this episode, John Allan, DPT sits down with Dr. Alex Hubelbank, DPT, ATC, CSCS, to break down what elite-level rehab and performance really looks like inside professional sports. What they cover: How the line between PT, athletic training, and strength & conditioning is based on role, not skill — and where that breaks down Why staying off the court matters: using GPP and unrelated movement skills, like hand-fighting or dance, to build capacity without repetitive load How to structure a 4-5 month off-season into phases, from lowest-hanging fruit to sport-specific prep Why testing every 4-6 weeks beats chasing constant data, and the question to ask before every test: am I testing for me, or for their care plan? Reading context — sleep, nutrition, life stress — before deciding whether a testing day is even worth running Building trust and credibility with professional athletes when the stakes, and the scrutiny, are highest If you've ever wondered what separates a good off-season from a great one, this episode reframes how elite performance is actually built, one deliberate decision at a time.
