Ep. 18 Why Modern Man won't Survive w/ Ben Walker

Dr. Ray has been a PT and Coach helping athletes get out of pain for years. In his journey, he realized that treating patients in a clinical setting wasn't fulfilling for him, nor was it effective for his clients. He transitioned his work online and has created a very effective curriculum for coaches and clinicians can help people heal and live pain free. Now, he focused on his "Retain" program which gives clinicians practical tools for turning their struggling in person practice into a thriving business offering both in person and remote training to truly serve patients the best way and give clinicians the opportunity to make a lot more money.  You can learn about Ray on IG. @raygormandpt or visit his website www.engagemovement.com --------------------------- You're invited to join us this December in Vermont for the Summit Academy Leadership Immersion Visit https://www.mysummit.academy/immersion to accept your invitation
