Understanding Your Body, Easing Your Pain, & Moving with Confidence with Scott Blackburn, PT, DPT
In this episode of Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town, Lisa and Dr. Terry sit down with Scott Blackburn — Physical Therapist, Clinic Director at Xcel Physical Therapy in Fairborn, and lifelong learner of all things movement, mindset, and pain science.
Scott’s journey from neuroscience student to clinic director is inspiring on its own… but what makes this conversation truly special is the way he brings clarity and compassion to topics that so often feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever struggled with pain, felt confused by a scary diagnosis, or wondered what your body is really trying to tell you — this episode is for you.
Together, we dive into:
✨ Why understanding pain changes everything
✨ How fear of movement keeps people stuck — and how to break free
✨ What Scott teaches every patient to help them feel safer, stronger, and more empowered
✨ How physical therapy can help you avoid unnecessary surgeries or medications
✨ The importance of educating patients in a world full of conflicting, confusing medical information
✨ His Titleist Performance Institute certification — and the surprising things your golf swing reveals about your body
With humor, heart, and a whole lot of wisdom, Scott pulls back the curtain on how PT isn’t just about treating injuries…it’s about restoring confidence, movement, and trust in your own body.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, love learning about holistic wellness, or want to move better for the long haul, you’ll walk away encouraged, empowered, and maybe even ready to schedule a golf evaluation with Scott yourself!
