Today we’re joined by Liam Globensky, Center Manager at Brooks Rehabilitation and a newly graduated fellow from the Brooks Institute of Higher Learning. Liam’s passion is clear: fellowship is not the finish line—it’s the launch pad for teaching, mentoring, advocating, and elevating the profession.

In this episode, Liam discusses:

• Why post-professional opportunities matter more than ever
• How early-career fellows can “raise the tide” for PT practice
• The importance of giving back through mentorship, leadership, and service
• His joint presentation with his wife on orthopedic screening of pelvic floor dysfunction
• Practical ways clinicians can integrate pelvic floor awareness into orthopedic exams
• How new clinicians can shape the future of the profession

Key Takeaways:

• Fellowship is a platform for service, not a credential to sit on
• Growth continues through advocacy, mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration
• Orthopedic clinicians play an important role in screening pelvic floor dysfunction
• The profession rises when clinicians invest in the next generation
• Early-career PTs can be leaders today—not just “someday”

In this episode, we sit down with Kyle Feldman, National Director of Physical Therapy for ReEnvision PT and owner of WE ARE Physiotherapy. Kyle shares how clinical reasoning, therapeutic alliance, and intentional growth have shaped his work as a clinician, educator, and leader.

We discuss:

• Why clinical reasoning is often misunderstood
• How strong therapeutic alliance amplifies patient outcomes
• Safety, intent, and application of spinal manipulation in elderly patients
• Using fellowship training to step into leadership or ownership
• Kyle’s career path and the mindset that keeps him energized

This is a must-listen episode for clinicians looking to level up their reasoning, build meaningful patient relationships, and explore new opportunities in the profession.

Key Takeaways:

• Clinical reasoning is more than pattern recognition — it’s dynamic decision-making.
• Therapeutic alliance isn’t “being nice”; it’s a critical clinical skill.
• Older adults are often under-treated due to clinician fear, not evidence.
• Fellowships can be springboards for business ownership and leadership innovation.
• Growth in PT requires curiosity, reflection, and courage.
