Dear Diary: Are Physical Therapists Just Glorified Personal Trainers?
About this episode
This week Al and Mel dive into the spiciest hot takes shaking up the PT and healthcare world and yah, the comment section did not disappoint. We unpack whether all PT students should be lifting weights, if physical therapists are just “glorified personal trainers,” and why the “DPT” title drama has everyone fired up. We also get real about people taking PT advice from ChatGPT, plus whether healthcare pros can post fun content and still be taken seriously (Mel brings all the receipts 👀). Enjoy!!!
