“It was not about learning the one best exercise. It’s the hope for the future & what I’m looking forward to do with my practice. The H word & teach that to others. For all of us in there today that hope that we have.”
“This was my third time taking the course... even though it's the same course, they change it up and you're always going to leave learning something different."
“I've come to every workshop every time you come to the east coast.... You retain something different every time."
“They're some of the sharpest minds in the physical therapy and fitness world."
“I feel like you guys gave me freedom this weekend... it's the bigger picture, which is a human helping a human have hope, in order to function in the world."

Our aim at FPM is to help people see that we all have to train for the game.
We’re older younger because we are inactive. The silver lining of MSK pain is learning we’re bioplastic – we adapt. With exposure to appropriate stress stimuli, adaptation occurs resulting in increased tolerance and greater resilience.
“It’s not the load that breaks us down, but the load we’re not prepared for” – Tim Gabbett.
This is why we teach that “rehab is training in the presence of injury” – Phil Glasgow
"Spent the weekend collaborating with amazing clinicians and coaches. Thank you for exceeding expectations with this weekend.
This weekend emphasized that patient care is centered on the individual in front of you, promotes resiliency instead of fragility, is positive and encouraging, appropriately loads instead of under-doses movement, and dispels nocebos that create fear of movement."
"I think one important concept you two both do so well and that is integrated throughout the coursework is giving the tools to make collaborating with a coach as a clinician or with a clinician as a coach a much easier process.
The content and community fosters an environment where collaboration is encouraged at the benefit of the client. The process of the profile and the power of the audit process and history taking in the BPS lens provides everyone with a universal language with the 4 principles of reassurance, reactivation, adaptation, variability as the North Star."
"This is my third FPM seminar, and I always learn SO many new concepts and skills each time that I can immediately put into practice.
It’s invigorating to be in a room with so many other coaches and clinicians (trainers, PTs, chiros, massage therapists, movement specialists ect) who all share the common goals"
"I've had 25 sessions in the past two days and the energy that I've brought to those sessions has been categorically different compared to sessions prior to this course and mentorship. 'You already have the skillset. Now learn the mindset'"
"I had so much fun last weekend and came back so fired up and ready to roll on Monday. I so very much appreciate coming back and feeling rejuvenated and ready to Implement things I’ve learned!
I feel like I learned a lot about figuring out the difference between rep maxes, reps in reserve, and RPE. Because I don’t have an actual training background, these things are really useful to me. In addition, watching you and Ryan in action taking clients through with external cuing and putting them in the environment really helps me to learn and retain how to do it with my own patients. That’s what really puts it together for me.
I can’t wait to come to another seminar.
Thanks for relighting my fire! 🙏🏼🔥"
