Why Your Chronic Back, Hip, and Neck Patients Stop Improving (Even When You're Using Every Technique You Know)

Some of your patients still stall no matter what you try. Join me live on October 14 and I'll reason through a real case from beginning to end, using the framework I rely on with every patient who plateaus. When you register, I'll also send you my free 3-part video series to watch before we go live.

What We'll Cover on the Masterclass

Most of us learned our techniques one course at a time, and nobody showed us how to decide which one a stuck patient actually needs. That's what this session is about.

Why a patient improves, then stalls again and what to do about it

Fix one problem and another often shows up underneath it. I'll show you why that happens, using a real shoulder case, and how to decide what to address first.

A live case, beginning to end

You'll watch me reason through a real patient in real time, unedited and unrehearsed. You'll see what I notice, the questions I ask, and what I do when my first idea doesn't hold.

How long to stick with a plan before you change it

It's hard to know whether a plan isn't working or just needs more time. I'll give you the rule I use to decide, and you can try it with your next stalled patient.

I'm Dr. Chad Woodard

I'm a physical therapist in New York City and the founder of Symbio Physio NYC. I've spent decades treating complex musculoskeletal patients and teaching clinicians how to reason through them.

For years, when a patient plateaued, I went looking for another course. Then in 2020 I couldn't put my hands on a single patient, and they got better anyway. That's when I finally saw what I'd been missing, and it became the framework I'll walk you through live.
