Welcome to the Be A Better PT Podcast!
The podcast where we deep-dive into what it takes - and what it means - to be a great PT. I’ve spent my professional career obsessing over how I can truly help people while feeling fulfilled.
This has led me to the highest levels of formal training and a diverse array of knowledge and practices that I want to share with you.
Together, we will journey through the depths of PT practice, cursing and laughing our way there and back.
I look forward to traveling with you!

Customer Reviews
🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love this show and I get a lot out of every episode. This is exactly what our field needs. Therapeutic alliance is such a major major component in our treatment. Keep it up Andrew. “You’re doing a really good job!”
Funny & lighthearted, easy to binge
I love this show, I binged the first few episodes - they’re short and easy to listen to, and have surprising amounts of insight that’s helpful in other areas of life. The definition of ‘compassion’ in episode 2 is the best way I’ve ever heard it explained, every episode has multiple takeaways.
Possiblyyyy slightly biased because I think he’s a dreamboat
