The Truth About Chronic Back Pain No One Is Talking About | Matt Brown

Most physical therapy is designed to help you feel "good enough." Matt Brown believes that's the problem. In this episode of Wellness 3.0 Unlocked, Beth Rozier sits down with Matt Brown, founder of Corrective Physical Therapy, to discuss why traditional insurance-driven rehabilitation often falls short—and how a performance-based approach is helping athletes, first responders, and active adults return to the lives they love. Matt shares his own journey through years of chronic back pain, how it inspired him to build a different kind of physical therapy practice, and the biggest challenges of growing a high-touch healthcare business. The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence can reduce administrative work, improve patient experiences, and help healthcare providers scale without sacrificing quality.
