It's funny how they evolve like their perspective of it because what I was kind of forced to do in my career was I had experience working with teams and all that other stuff, but I kind of became an off-season person for these athletes. And by default, I had to almost become a strength coach

Not because I wanted to or that was my goal, but because these athletes needed that bridge from I'm injured to I might be injured to, hey, I've got the green light for performance. All humans are moving up and down that spectrum based on our recovery and all these variables. So what's been fun at 10 Squared is I get to do all the assessment I want, and it's not really a clinical assessment.

On the one hand, we're of course looking at things that either have pain or that individual member has had a previous injury with, and we're accounting for that and we're making sure that's on track or could be improved and we add those things. But then I also get to play around and look at what else is weak? What is this individual at risk for?

So one example is we have a client who loves to surf. He's got a shoulder issue. So by default, surfing and swimming on a surfboard is a different position than a traditional freestyle stroke. So we had to make his shoulder uniquely robust in certain directions. And so that's part of his strength program.

One of my biggest pet peeves in the rehab world is when people give someone 30 exercises that are really tedious and boring and no human sticks to that. They might do it for a week or two, but if it's not bridging to what they love and what they want to do, it won't get there. So if we can bake in ensuring that all the strength training won't make them worse and

And then also make sure that we're baking in their little corrective exercises or improving the gaps. That's where you make a huge difference into how someone feels, but also how they can perform.

I think the first rule is the medical community. So your orthopedic surgeon or your neurologist and then your rehab pro have to be in sync and have a relationship. And how often is that happening? I mean, it's very rare. What's really interesting is the philosophy and the individual just spirit of either surgeon or the rehab pro. They have to be kind of committed to the service-oriented field.

If they're just doing it for money, they're going to do scale and they're going to do like the PT mill that there's four clients with one therapist and that therapist is probably doing the best they can, but they're just kind of outnumbered and they're not accounting for those four different people all at once. So first off, it has to be one-on-one.

You cannot tell me that you're rehabbing you the same way you could rehab my grandma who had a shoulder issue.

Yes. Oh yeah. Typically it's a very cookie cutter approach. Usually it's an insurance model thing where they know that these certain exercises and putting ice or stim is going to be reimbursed by the insurance company. So the PT clinic is going to do that on everybody regardless of what they need. So that's one of the biggest pitfalls is it's never one-on-one. It's not custom.
