Jim Glinn, PT, DPT, OCS Emeritus, joins our host Larry Benz, DPT, OCS, MBA, MAPP, CEO of Confluent Health, for this week’s episode to talk about the role of telehealth in physical therapy.

Jim helped to create Everflex Health, a telehealth tool that provides musculoskeletal education and exercises as well as connecting patients with clinicians when needed. Larry and Jim talk about the challenges of telehealth, including adoption and quality patient care. They also cover the impact of telehealth for the future of the physical therapy profession with behavioral health interventions, the shift away from an intervention mentality and the commoditization of physical therapists.
