In this months episode we’re introducing Kayla, a pediatric doctor of physical therapy who specializes in chronic pain and the new official cohost for the pod! We explain the roles that PTs play in different settings, how PTs gain their knowledge base, and how to advocate for the right PT for you. We’re promoting PT HARD in this episode because it’s what we do, it’s what we’re passionate about, but because we know it works. And we know that at the end of the day, we want the same things you do. After you listen to this months episode, do yourself a favor and join us in our new tradition by doing something that brings you joy.
