In this episode of The Prehab Podcast, Dr. Michael Lau sits down with Dr. Adelle Smener to share the journey of building PrehabPT, their Los Angeles-based physical therapy clinic.

  2. Why better options for both patients and clinicians are needed

  3. How autonomy and support improve treatment outcomes

  4. The unique challenges of running a PT clinic as a married couple
