In this episode, we dive into one of the most important conversations shaping the future of physical therapy — the shift from manual therapy to exercise-based treatment.

We discuss why therapeutic exercise is the key to long-term outcomes, professional sustainability, and recognition within the broader healthcare system. Tune in as we explore how focusing on exercise-based care can redefine physical therapy’s identity — and ultimately, save our profession.
