Customer Reviews
An incredible insight into all aspects of working with humans
Dr Chris Garcia is an absolute wealth of knowledge. He’s worked with every case imaginable and really helps dig into the human behind the pain in his podcast. It’s so refreshing to hear a clinician speak with such passion for teaching and sharing what has been successful with people in the past. Why learn things the hard way when someone has already done it for you?
I’m a massage therapist and I’ve been able to take his experiences and apply them to my own clientele and it’s helped me dig into the deep stuff and provide so much more than just the body work. Thank you Chris! A 10/10 for me.
Best podcast in the industry
I listen to this podcast on a daily basis while commuting and it is worth every second. Dr. Chris is one of the most altruistic and intelligent individuals I have listened to in the medical profession realm. His outlook on what not only physical therapists, but what ALL medical professionals can provide to people on all spectrums of rehabilitation and health/wellness constantly inspires and transforms the way I approach patient care and client management. It is completely clear that he not only loves to guide people to living an active and healthy life, but loves guiding the next generation of health care professionals in order to raise the standard of care and transform the medical field. If you are ANY type of health care provider and want to gain a better understanding of what you can immediately change in your approach to your patients and/or clients to provide the best care imaginable, this podcast is for you.
THE BEST PODCAST IN THE UNIVERSE
The best thing about the Sports PT Academy podcast is the TRUE VALUE behind it.
You do not need to be a physical therapist to appreciate the lessons, the tips and the motivation Dr. Chris Garcia provides in every single podcast.
Of course, if you want to be a sports physical therapist this is the podcast for you, but if you want to be a WORLD CLASS healthcare provider you will strongly benefit for this podcast.
This is -hands-down- THE BEST PODCAST IN THE UNIVERSE. Thank you Dr. Chris Garcia for this amazing podcast! 🙌
