The Role of Physical Therapy in Occupational Health with Thomas Sullivan


Listen Later

Are you curious about how occupational health can revolutionize workplaces?

What role do physical therapists play in transforming employee well-being on an industrial scale?

Welcome back to The Uncaged Clinician! I'm David Bayliff, excited for today's episode with Thomas Sullivan, co-founder of Discover Physical Therapy. We're exploring the niche of industrial and occupational health, where Thomas has helped physical therapists thrive in workplace settings, particularly with blue-collar workers.

Today, we'll discuss how occupational health transcends injury treatment to include prevention, workforce understanding, and workplace culture transformation. Thomas will share his transition from traditional PT to this sector, navigating challenges such as OSHA regulations and demonstrating ROI. He'll also detail his three-tiered approach that enhances workplace health beyond just managing injuries.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

  • The transition from traditional PT to industrial health

  • Adapting language and strategies for blue-collar workers

  • The lucrative potential of occupational health

  • Navigating compliance and OSHA communication

  • Building relationships with companies and proving ROI

Occupational health offers incredible opportunities for clinicians ready to step out of the box. As Thomas reminds us, it's about making connections, fostering wellness, and transforming workplaces into healthier environments. If you're burned out or looking for a new path, this field could be your next big move.
