All of the cardio training, you bring in all of the strength and conditioning, you bring in the coaches to integrate the whole thing. So, okay, we're doing that now of all the things we do in 10 squared. I still think that your domain is the hardest for people to wrap their heads around. I think people understand, oh yeah, you guys will help me get a high VO two max and you'll boost my zone too.

What are some of the things you see, and I'm not asking this to be critical of what other rehab professionals do, but as a person listening to us who says, look, man, I've been not getting better. I've had fill in the blank injury. So I've had tennis elbow that won't get better. I've had lower back pain that's just not getting better. Shoulder pain that's not getting better.

How do you help that person think about whether or not there's an underlying structural problem that needs a surgical intervention or a more direct intervention versus You're not being instructed to do the right things and or you're being instructed and you're not doing it. Like, how do you walk somebody through that tree? Obviously, it's a heavy lift with a lot of details.

Are you saying that, it's going to sound like an ignorant question. Are you saying that in some facilities, one PT will work with multiple clients at the same time and put them through the same workouts, even if they're quite different?

Now, is this taking the extreme example at the other end, which is professional athletes? You work with a lot of them. You work with golfers, football players, basketball and baseball players typically, right? Is there any other type of athlete I'm missing? You know, I've had some incidental tennis people, a lot of runners too. Yep. Now-

Some of those athletes come with deeper pockets than others and come from leagues. So when you're talking about the NFL players, for example, is that problem completely solved? No, not at all.

So how do you guys do that? I didn't ask her in advance if we could do this. So we might have to edit this out of the discussion. Sure. Can we use my wife as an example? My wife is a client at 10 Squared. Great example. So Jill's a runner, like a little deer. Runs, runs, runs, runs, runs.

Yep. I'm very hands-off. Anything that has to do with her, actually, by design. Can you tell us a little bit about her? And what did you learn when you did an assessment of her? And how did that impact how she works with the other members of the team on the cardio side, on the strength and conditioning side?

There's another detail here that I do recall. Obviously, you recall as well, but it might be worth pointing this out to the listener. So she normally only runs one marathon a year.
