Rebuilding a Broken System

In this episode, Gene, Meghan, and Michelle debrief the American Physical Therapy Association's Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) — where Gene presented. From there, the conversation turns into something bigger: a blunt look at how modern healthcare became an opaque, transaction-heavy system where patients don't know costs up front and clinicians are squeezed by productivity demands. The hosts unpack why physical therapy burnout is so common, how student debt traps good clinicians in bad models, and why "more volume" often means less actual care. Finally, they explain the Recharge philosophy as a direct response to that reality: build long-term relationships, remove as many transactions as possible, and create a community where movement is sustainable, honest, and often fun.
