To put it frankly, there is nothing in my personal or professional life that
has changed the way I practice, coach, and operate on a day to day
basis more than Clinical Athlete. This community pushes the envelope
on the things that really matter- not sets and reps, but critical thinking
skills, communication, complexity, and creating your own process.
This was easily the best investment I have ever made
in my patients and myself.

Healthcare wasn’t built for (or by) Athletes.
Let’s change that, together.
Confidently use advanced training principles and human-first communication to become the
provider athletes actually trust.
If you’re like us,
you’ve felt frustrated by:
1
The traditional medical model that paints rehab and performance as black and white
2
Grad school programs that don’t provide a strength & conditioning curriculum beyond clamshells and theraband exercises
3
Healthcare providers
telling athletes that
deadlifts are
bad for your back and squats are bad for your knees
4
Communicating with conviction and authority while (somehow!) embracing uncertainty
So, do any of these feelings resonate?
Lacking confidence…
Feeling inadequate in creating and
progressing appropriately challenging
programs for your athletes?
Feeling random…
Lacking clarity with your exercise
prescription and lacking a true
framework for informed decision
making?
Playing the “Weighting Game”...
Struggling to know if you are
underloading or overloading your
people?
Trouble balancing…
Difficulty balancing being “overly
biomechanical” or having too much
“movement positivity?”
We set out on a quest to create an army of providers who will set the standard for performance-based healthcare. Providers who actually walk the walk in their practice and in their life.
On the back of a robust curriculum and a mission-driven community, we’ll help you become the provider of choice for any performance-driven human, without sacrificing your own values.

FEELING ALONE AND LACKING ACCOUNTABILITY THAT
ACTUALLY CHALLENGES YOU TO GET BETTER ?
If so, you’re not alone. We’ve worked with and impacted thousands
of lives through our mentorship over the years.
Here are what a few have to say about our
current program:
Azita Nejaddehghan PT, DPT, SCCC, CSCSTeam Physio, Washington Spirit
Devin Crevani, PT, DPTOwner of Back to Barbell Rehab and PerformanceI finished a sport PT residency in 2022. And despite being immensely
valuable in accelerating my growth, I felt there were gaps that
needed to be filled. For a while I thought I wasn’t smart enough to
handle the complexity of clinical practice. Then I saw the Clinical
Athlete speaking to it, and it felt like someone was speaking directly
to my struggles. This course is like no course I have taken. It is
frankly one of the most valuable investments I have made in my
clinical practice.
Daniel Braff DCOutpatient Rehab and Sport ChiropracticAs someone who has been taught almost exclusively on the KPM
(Kinesio-Pathological Model), but personally gravitated towards the
BPS model, I have always felt extremely lost and confused when it
comes to exercise prescription.
At various points in my career, I have prescribed exercise based on every
thought process from "I need to get 3 more degrees of scapular
upward rotation" to "everything is the same so why even bother with
specificity". I eventually settled somewhere in the middle of those
two extremes and ended up just feeling confused and not
confident in my treatment plans.
Since joining CA, chatting regularly with the group, making my way
through the course work, and utilizing the resources, I have felt a
180 degree shift in the way I prescribe exercises and the way I
approach every patient encounter.”
Stephanie Popovitch PT, DPTRun Coach, Lane One Strength & PerformanceThe lessons are highly practical, and made me dive into my own beliefs
and biases surrounding rehab. Evals no longer feel overwhelming,
but rather an opportunity to educate my patients and promote
buy-in, as I am better able to explain my why. I feel more confident
and grounded in my decision-making process for any situation I
may come across in the clinic.
The cherry on top? This program and community have given me the
confidence and encouragement to start my own virtual company for
runners.
Georgio Baylouny PT, DPTOwner, Physio RXAs a business owner who values the professional development of my team,
I'm grateful to have partnered with Clinical Athlete. The curriculum is
well thought out and the live calls are incredibly beneficial. And, just being
in a community of other passionate clinicians and coaches is invaluable.
With the Clinical Athlete partnership, I'm confident that the PhysioRX team receives
top-notch mentorship. This aligns our clinical reasoning as a company,
allowing us to provide our clients with the best outcomes possible.
