In Episode 008, we talk physical therapy and strength and conditioning with Rob Panariello. Having known Rob for almost 20 years, I have always respected the amount of quality time and effort he has put into two professions for over the entirety of his career. We discuss Rob’s educational background and some of the key mentors that he leaned on in the early parts of his career. He discusses the key decisions he made around dedicating his time so that he could learn from as many experts as he could, all the while gaining valuable practical experience and connections from some of the best in the business of health care, rehabilitation and high performance sport. He’s years of dedication to two professions also helped him to develop a successful business in physical therapy, where his business provides world class care through over 180 clinic locations throughout the east coast of the country. Rob is also paying it forward by implementing some valuable continuing education and career development projects for students and his employees. It is a lifelong dedication to a precise and professional approach that distinguishes Rob from others in the rehabilitation and performance professions.
