Description

Is your physical therapy making you worse instead of better? You’re not alone, and you’re NOT broken. In this episode, Dr. Daniel Shapiro exposes why traditional PT doesn't work and how to get the results your body truly needs. If you're looking for better alternative to typical PT, this is for you.We’ll cover:• Assembly-line care & insurance quotas – how volume targets create 7-minute “drive-by” sessions and cookie-cutter plans.• Passive over active – why heat, stim, and stretching without progressive loading rarely change the root problem.• Chasing symptoms, not causes – the missed diagnoses behind “tight hip flexors,” “weak glutes,” and forever “core work.”• No dosage, no progression – why exercise without intensity, reps, and measurable milestones = no durable results.• Education gap – how fear of movement is reinforced—and how pain science + graded exposure rebuilds trust in your body.💪 Want real progress? Learn what good physical therapy truly involves and how to advocate for your recovery.
