What drives someone to transition from an automotive mechanic to a revered physical therapist and educator? Join us as Dr. Scott Love, founder of Steps for Love and an associate professor at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, recounts his inspiring journey. Raised on a family farm and managing multiple businesses, Dr. Love didn't pursue his Physical Therapy degree until he was 34. His story is a testament to resilience and determination, fueled by both encouragement and skepticism from his family.

Imagine battling a flesh-eating bacteria infection that lands you in a 10-day coma and results in a grueling recovery. Dr. Love shares his harrowing experience, shedding light on the vital importance of stringent hygiene practices in medical settings. This personal ordeal underscores often-overlooked infection control protocols and highlights the need for comprehensive training among healthcare professionals. The discussion seamlessly transitions into the challenges and innovations in prosthetic rehabilitation, emphasizing the necessity for customized prosthetic componentry and advanced rehabilitation knowledge.

We wrap up with an enlightening conversation about the transformative potential of integrating Physical Therapy and prosthetist clinics for better patient outcomes. Dr. Love discuses the collaborative benefits of such integration, supported by initiatives like ScholarNetics360, which connects healthcare students and professionals with specialists to improve patient care.
