Patrick and Cam have the opportunity to explore physical therapy with friend of the show Dr Kevin Melendez, PT, DPT. Dr Kevin is a physical therapist out of Orlando, FL who owns and operates his revolutionary physical therapy practice “Swish PT and Performance.” How is Dr Kevin’s practice revolutionary you might ask?
Dr Kevin wants his patients to get out of the hamster wheel so many people get put on by the traditional healthcare/ insurance model. How does Kevin do this? By combining the use of clinical practice guidelines, research and technology Dr Kevin gets his patients to exceed the traditional expectation of just, “Getting back to baseline,” and gets them back in the game performing at a high level.
Traditional physical therapy only seems to be a necessity when a patient is injured but Dr Kevin makes some great points about seeing a physical therapist once a year to get a full diagnostic check up. This way he can help prevent injuries before they start. We enjoyed talking with Dr Kevin, this interview is packed full of great information and we know you will enjoy it as well.
