Physical therapy is at a turning point.
Are we going to stay positioned as “after-the-fact rehab”? Or step into our role as first-line providers for musculoskeletal care?
At CSM in Anaheim, Dr. Tatiana Olevsky — spine specialist, PT fellow, private practice owner, and former Pilates studio owner — breaks down why healthcare is still reactive… and how PTs are uniquely built for proactive care.
This conversation matters for:
Clinic owners trying to differentiate
PTs frustrated with being undervalued
Anyone who believes PT should lead prevention, not chase pain
If we tied reimbursement to outcomes instead of visits, PT would become one of the highest-leverage roles in healthcare.
This episode explains why.
