MMA & Physical Therapy

Earlier this season on FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we discussed incorporating yoga into occupational therapy. This week, on our season finale, we’re continuing with the theme of mashups by exploring how mixed martial arts can be integrated into physical therapy. Anthony Lombardo, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, USAW, USA-PL, TSAC-F, Pn. 1, takes us through his MMA journey, as well as discussing his origins as a physical therapist. Anthony, who seems to dabble in a little bit of everything, also likes to use some powerlifting in his sessions with older adults. Anthony also discusses the work he does with the New York Giants, his biggest patient win, and what he does for a hobby when he takes a brief second to slow down.
