Healthy Waves: Bridging Physical Therapy & Fitness for Life-Long Movement Health with Dr. Kevin Brown

Healthy Waves: Bridging Physical Therapy & Fitness for Life-Long Movement Health with Dr. Kevin Brown

On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik digs into how fitness and healthcare can finally work as one system. Dr. Kevin Brown—Doctor of Physical Therapy, CSCS, and founder of Performance Therapy Fitness (Gahanna, OH)—lays out a practical, scalable model that connects rehab to strength training for adults 40–50+ so they move better, build resilience, and stay pain-free. We cover individualized movement assessments, habit-building, safe progression, and why “movement health” (strength, mobility, balance, control) should be tracked like blood pressure. If you lead a clinic, run a gym, or you’re simply aging actively, this conversation gives you a blueprint to merge prevention, performance, and long-term independence.

About the guest :

Dr. Kevin Brown is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He founded Performance Therapy Fitness to bridge rehab and fitness under one roof, helping adults—especially 50+—gain strength, restore confidence, and maintain pain-free movement for life.

Key takeaways:

  • “Movement health” = strength, mobility, balance, motor control; track it like vitals.

  • Most PT discharges don’t equal real-life readiness; a guided fitness continuum closes the gap.

  • Adults 40–50+ often repeat injury cycles by returning to old workouts without foundations.

  • Start with an individualized assessment (goals, history, habits) + movement screen.

  • Safe progressions reduce fear: workouts should work muscles, not flare joints.

  • Two to three days/week of strength training plus weekly cardio minutes is a durable baseline.

  • Prevention belongs inside programming: mobility, stability, and tissue work are baked in.

  • Clinics and gyms can align through shared protocols and consistent language to patients.

  • Scalable systems—not star clinicians—enable this model to spread across locations.

  • Future state: annual “movement health” checks trigger early referrals, preserving independence.
