The R2P Members Podcast

In this episode of the Rehab2Performance Podcast, we sit down with longtime R2P member Dr. John Damrow, a fourth-generation chiropractor practicing in Janesville, Wisconsin.
John shares his unique experience joining his father's established chiropractic practice and introducing a different approach to patient care while respecting the foundation that had already been built. We discuss the challenges of bringing an R2P-style model into a practice with an existing identity, patient population, business structure, and insurance-based model.
Rather than starting from scratch, John's experience offers a valuable perspective for clinicians who may be joining an established practice, taking over a family business, or working within a model that doesn't naturally look like a traditional R2P practice.
Throughout the conversation, John shares how he navigated differences in philosophy and style, found ways to integrate rehab and performance principles into his day-to-day care, and learned how to make meaningful changes without feeling like everything about the practice needed to change overnight.
We also discuss the role of insurance-based care, adapting your clinical approach to the realities of your practice environment, and the importance of finding ways to evolve while still serving the needs of the patients and community already in front of you.
Whether you're a student preparing to enter the profession, a young clinician joining an established practice, or someone looking to gradually shift your current model of care, this episode offers practical insight into making the R2P philosophy work within the real-world constraints of an existing business.
This episode is a reminder that practicing the R2P model doesn't always require building a brand-new facility or completely reinventing your business. Sometimes, the challenge—and opportunity—is learning how to evolve what already exists.

In Episode 6 of the Rehab2Performance Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jeff Beran, owner of Evolution Physical Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona, and one of the founding members of the Rehab2Performance community.
While clinical knowledge is essential, Dr. Beran shares why some of the most important factors in long-term success are often the least discussed: communication, relationship-building, and professional networking. Drawing from years of experience in clinical practice and business ownership, Jeff discusses how meaningful relationships with patients, healthcare providers, coaches, and community members have shaped both his career and his practice.
Throughout the conversation, we explore practical strategies for building trust, expanding your professional network, and creating collaborative relationships that benefit everyone involved—especially the patient. Jeff also reflects on lessons learned throughout his career, common mistakes clinicians make when trying to grow their influence, and how healthcare professionals can better position themselves as valuable members of a broader care team.

In Episode 5 of the Rehab2Performance Podcast, we sit down with R2P Executive Board Member Dr. Alex Coleman to break down a complex clinical case involving a 56-year-old semi-professional pickleball athlete presenting with left anterior shoulder pain.
With a history of three rotator cuff tears and prior bilateral surgical repairs, this case initially appears straightforward - but quickly reveals deeper layers. Dr. Coleman walks us through his clinical reasoning as he uncovers contributing factors beyond the shoulder, including cervical spine and temporomandibular (TMJ) involvement.
This episode highlights the importance of expanding your assessment beyond the primary complaint and understanding how regional interdependence can influence both symptoms and performance. We discuss how to approach recurrent injuries, avoid tunnel vision in clinical decision-making, and build a more comprehensive plan that addresses the full picture of the patient.

In this episode of the Rehab2Performance Members-Only Podcast, we sit down with R2P Executive Board Member Dr. Cory Bailey to explore key concepts from the R2P Fundamentals Level 2 course.
This conversation focuses on what happens after the assessment - how clinicians can move from identifying movement limitations to making effective programming decisions that drive real-world outcomes. Dr. Bailey breaks down how to approach movement screening with intention, avoid overanalyzing findings, and focus on what truly matters for the individual in front of you.
We also dive into the concept of minimal effective dose across multiple training qualities, including strength, hypertrophy, movement quality, aerobic capacity, and explosiveness. Cory shares how clinicians can better dose interventions based on goals, timelines, and context, while avoiding common mistakes of doing too much or too little.
Additional topics include detraining timelines, load management, and how to think about maintaining or rebuilding different physical qualities during periods of reduced activity or injury.
If you’re looking to improve how you transition from assessment to action - and ultimately bridge rehab to performance - this episode provides practical insight into the systems and thinking taught in R2P Level 2.

In Episode 3 of the Rehab2Performance Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kyle Thompson to discuss the vision, structure, and purpose behind the R2P Leadership Academy.
This conversation goes beyond clinical skill. We explore what it truly means to lead within the rehab and performance space—whether that’s leading a team, a practice, or influencing the future direction of musculoskeletal care. Dr. Thompson shares why leadership development is a critical missing piece in many clinicians’ professional journeys and how the R2P Leadership Academy is designed to bridge that gap.
If you’re looking to expand your impact beyond treatment sessions and step into a larger role within your clinic, community, or profession, this episode provides a clear look at how the R2P Leadership Academy is shaping the next generation of leaders.

In Episode 2 of the Rehab2Performance Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Aaron Montgomery, clinician and practice owner based in Portland, Oregon, to explore his journey of building a business rooted in the Rehab2Performance (R2P) model of care.
Aaron shares his story from early clinical experiences to opening his own practice, including why he chose an R2P-style approach and how that decision shaped both his clinical philosophy and business structure. We discuss the realities of starting and growing a practice, the lessons learned along the way, and the challenges that come with blending rehabilitation and performance in a real-world setting.
This conversation also provides valuable insight for students and early-career clinicians who are considering opening their own practice. Aaron offers practical advice on mindset, skill development, and decision-making, as well as reflections on mistakes he made and what he would do differently if starting again. Throughout the episode, we highlight how the R2P model supports long-term growth, adaptability, and meaningful patient outcomes.
