Season 4 Get Vertical! with Kameron Harder on Digitizing Physical Therapy

Описание: Most physical therapists follow the same path:
Graduate. Work in a clinic. See more patients every year as insurance reimbursements decline.
Kameron Harder decided to walk away from that system.
In this episode of Get Vertical, Kameron shares how he went from working inside traditional clinics to building a completely digital physical therapy and performance coaching business serving runners and athletes around the world.
What started as frustration with the limitations of traditional physical therapy eventually led him to launch Ridge Athletics, a fully virtual platform helping athletes recover from injury, build strength, and extend their athletic longevity.
We talk about:
• The moment he quit his job without a business plan
• Why traditional physical therapy often fails athletes
• How strength training prevents most running injuries
• The challenges of starting a business with no roadmap
• How he built a social media audience of 10,000+ followers
• And why ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they’re willing to take the leap
If you're building something new, pivoting in your career, or trying to stay active and injury-free as you get older — this conversation will resonate.
