#037 Can Physical Therapy be more than just physical healing and blend with mindfulness, breath work, and stress coaching? This is exactly what our guest, Justin Ternes has always been interested in. In this episode, we're walking through Justin's transformative journey, from a traditional physical therapy paradigm to an integrated, holistic approach, focusing on chronic pain, the biopsychosocial model, and pain science.
Growing up in Arkansas, studying in New Hampshire, and landing in San Diego, we discussed his transition from a general population practice to home health, and how he uses safety checks to instill confidence in his patients. He dives deep into how these safety checks not only ensure physical security but also have profound psychological implications.
His entrepreneurial spirit led him to start his own business. He shares his experiences, the hurdles he faced, and his plans for the future. We also touch upon the practicalities of maintaining a physical therapy license, and the struggles of juggling your own business. If you've ever wondered how stress coaching can influence a physical therapist, this episode is for you. From professional insights, and personal experiences, to practical advice.
