Is Fitness the Future of Healthcare? with Dr. Bo Babenko

Worlds are colliding all in an effort to keep you Safe and Healthy. Quality Movement and Consistent Activity are Queen when it comes to Health. That uniquely puts Physical Therapists out as the front line when it comes to bridging the gap and melding the worlds between Fitness & Healthcare. That's where Dr. Bo Babenko PT comes in and has been doing it before it was even cool :) Bo will kindly answer the following questions on Fireside5: 1. How do we measure fitness? 2. What is wrong w/ PT these days? 3. Can remote training be just as good, if not better than, in-person training? 4. Why should everyone know their grip strength? 5. Why does almost everyone breathe wrong? I wish that I could say that I was the best man at Bo's wedding or that we got into a fight on the playground in 2nd grade and have been best friends ever since, but the truth is I know him because he is good at what he does. Enough of his quality material was shared with me (yeah while everyone else is sharing cute cat videos we PTs are nerding out on Instagram) that I started following him and realized that we aligned and I asked him to be on the webcast. Excited to get to learn from him with the rest of you!
