What happens when a physical therapist walks 200 feet from the treatment room to the workstation and realizes the desk is doing more damage than anything they could fix with their hands?
That's the moment that changed everything for today's guest, Jerad Arendt, a PT who built his career at the intersection of physical therapy, industrial ergonomics, and on-site occupational health. In this conversation, he shares how he went from traditional PT to embedded on-site clinician, how he makes the ROI case directly to the C-suite, and what healthcare professionals with clinical backgrounds can do right now to move upstream in the injury cycle.
What's covered:
The workstation moment: the patient whose neck pain was fixed not by treatment, but by fixing her desk setup

Early intervention vs. reactive treatment: why getting closer to the injury changes everything
How to approach HR and safety managers when you're a clinician seeing patterns in your patient base
Why bypassing insurance for direct company contracts is simpler, better reimbursed, and more sustainable
The 6-to-18-month company sales cycle and why the long game is worth it
How companies evolve from skeptical to fully committed, and what that trajectory looks like
