Training for Outdoor Sports & the Current State of PT w/ Dr. Stephen Burkert

Today, we are talking about health, fitness, and performance with Dr. Steve Burkert, owner of Snow Beast Performance, located just outside of Burlington, Vermont. Steve and Jonathan discuss some best practices for training for outdoor sports, the most common summer injuries, what we can do to prevent those, and how best to treat them once they happen. They then discuss some eye-opening trends in the physical therapy world that all of us need to understand. Finally, you’re going to hear a little teaser about our new BLISTER+ Recommended Providers program. Note: We Want to Hear From You!
