In this episode of the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast, host Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt welcomes a guest from outside the PT world and that’s exactly what makes this conversation so refreshing. Simon Godding is a business coach, entrepreneur, and author of Wealth and Wellness, who has helped countless physical therapists and clinic owners build profitable, fulfilling practices, despite never practicing as a PT himself.

In this special solo episode of the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt takes the mic and dives into an honest, unscripted “Ask Me Anything.” Drawing on decades of experience treating elite athletes, building a high-performing team of clinicians, and pioneering a cash-based PT model, Yoni offers real-world insights that apply to athletes, PTs, and everyday movers alike.

He tackles big questions around why PTs burn out, how to build better patient relationships, what makes a therapist great, and why everyone, not just the injured, should see a physical therapist. You’ll also hear about his biggest mistakes, lessons learned, and the mindset he teaches every young clinician at True Sports PT.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a new grad, or simply someone who wants to better understand movement, performance, and human connection: this solo episode delivers straight talk and real value.

Dr. Kendra Lennon wears many hats: clinic director at one of the busiest True Sports locations, athletic trainer for two national lacrosse teams, dual-certified DPT, and nonstop advocate for athlete-centered care. In this episode, she gives us a backstage pass to what it’s like blending these roles: from taping ankles at international tournaments to leading a six-PT clinic through fast-paced growth.

We explore the realities of the AT and PT relationship, what each profession can learn from the other, and how to break down the “trends” that sometimes get in the way of patient care. Kendra also shares her favorite tools, leadership tactics, and why she believes boundaries, clear communication, and team culture are non-negotiable. This is a can’t-miss for clinicians who want to elevate their game, or for any athletic trainer who is looking to up their game.

What does it really take to be a world-class sports PT in today’s game? According to Dr. Jaime Mor, it starts by throwing out the cookie-cutter protocols and learning to think for yourself.

In this wide-ranging, energizing conversation, Jaime shares the hard lessons he learned on his way from burned-out employee to cash-based clinic owner. We get into the weeds of rehab tech, movement assessment, communication with surgeons, and why most athletes are still being underserved, even in 2025.

Jaime doesn’t hold back: he critiques the current education model, gives advice to new grads, offers his ideal PT school curriculum, and outlines how every therapist can improve their ability to observe, test, and adapt to the athlete in front of them.

Get ready for a straight-talking dose of inspiration and challenge - this one’s for the clinicians who want to break the mold and actually lead.

What makes a great PT from a surgeon’s perspective? Dr. Hugh House, a veteran orthopedic surgeon who operates across the upper and lower extremity, shares his answer in this candid and insightful episode. Spoiler: It’s not where you went to school or how many techniques you know. It’s how much you care, how clearly you communicate, and how well you teach.

Dr. House shares exactly what he looks for in post-op therapy, what red flags tell him a PT may not be pushing hard enough, and how small changes early in rehab can create big differences in range of motion and long-term outcomes.

He also explains why many surgeries are avoidable with the right lifestyle choices, and how orthopedics needs to evolve beyond the OR toward collaboration with PTs, strength coaches, nutritionists, and even psychologists. We touch on return-to-play protocols for total joints, the science behind early loading after trauma, and how to support patients struggling with weight, motivation, or fear of movement.

If you’re a therapist who wants to understand the surgeon’s mindset, this is one of the most valuable conversations you’ll hear.

Derek Hansen’s approach to rehab is brutally simple — and incredibly effective.

In this episode, we explore why sprinting is one of the most powerful tools in the rehab toolbox — especially for hamstrings, achilles tendons, and post-op ACL patients.

Derek unpacks his famous 10x10 sprint protocol, the science behind tissue adaptation and nervous system rewiring, and how loading athletes in smart, deliberate ways allows for faster, safer returns to sport.

We also cover why rehab needs to move beyond isolated exercises and machine-based work — and how movement quality, repetition, and stress exposure lead to long-term success.
