In this episode, Dr. Sean addresses a frequent question from clients: “Are you physical therapy?” He breaks down the significant differences between Active Life and traditional physical therapy, explaining why Active Life doesn’t accept insurance and focuses on solutions beyond the basic “Activities of Daily Living” (ADLs). Dr. Sean discusses how typical medical insurance constraints can limit patient outcomes and outlines Active Life’s approach to helping people regain their full, active lifestyles.

Dr. Sean also shares insight into Active Life’s rigorous training program, which ensures that their professionals provide more comprehensive care than typical trainers. He describes how Active Life professionals undergo a 13-month, 1000-hour education, including real-life applications and specialty training, to fill the gap between fitness and healthcare. This detailed training helps clients address specific needs and overcome physical limitations, creating sustainable results that go beyond what a traditional clinical environment may provide.
Finally, Dr. Sean illustrates how Active Life emphasizes personalized guidance, even when referring clients to other professionals if that’s the best fit. By taking an unconventional approach inspired by customer-first principles, Active Life positions itself as more than just a gym or clinic. Dr. Sean and his team’s goal is to be the place where clients feel empowered to fully enjoy their active lives, free from pain and limitations.
