THE NEXT FRONTIER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS WITH DR FRANK TARDI

We sat down with Dr. Frank Tardi from Evolution Elite Performance Therapy to learn how he uses CoachRx to deliver program design and continuity of care that extends beyond the clinic to his patients.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS TO SUPPORT THEIR PATIENTS NOT ONLY IN THE CLINIC, BUT ALSO IN THE GYM?

It’s important to have someone who truly understands a client’s specific anatomy, function, restrictions, past medical history, previous injuries, and potential physical limitations if the intention is to bridge the gap from clinic to gym. 

The assessment is theoretically more thorough and even more specific, which will ultimately help with exercise selection and allow for a more precise long-term progression. 

Where do they go after rehab? Nowhere… You can manage that remotely. 

This offers a long-term revenue source that keeps your clients with you for a lifetime while still coming into the clinic for maintenance body work, physical evaluations, and in-person consults. 

HOW HAS DELIVERING 1:1 PROGRAM DESIGN LED TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR YOUR CLIENTS?

Ultimately, it has led to fewer in-person table sessions due to the program design being even more precise than their current “training” while managing their pain experience and functional limitations. This gives time back to the client and ends up being more money in their pocket, a feeling of increased resilience, decreased anxiety about re-injury, and confidence in their plan of care.

HOW HAS IT INCREASED YOUR VALUE AS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST?

When pain is involved, patients may be more inclined to utilize the remote coaching service in an effort to help relieve themselves of pain while trying to achieve their fitness goals. Patients like the continuity of care they get knowing there are not as many chefs in the kitchen.

HOW DO YOU USE COACHRX AS A PART OF YOUR PRACTICE?

After a handful of in-person sessions, CoachRx is used to continue disseminating their Prescriptive Exercise Program (PEP) or Performance Training Program (PTP) in a remote fashion. Clients may utilize the clinic gym to complete or can be tailored to any setting available to the client.

WHAT FEATURES STAND OUT TO YOU THE MOST?

Uploading personal exercise videos and the templates used to help guide programming can have some good utility and ideas for other programming.
