Dr. Chad Nowlin is a pioneering physical therapist and the Founder of NRG Physio, a revolutionary approach to physical therapy that emphasizes accurate diagnosis and holistic treatment. With a strong background in anatomy and a passion for improving musculoskeletal health, Chad has developed an innovative evaluation process called the Keystone Reset. This process challenges traditional physical therapy methods by addressing root causes rather than symptoms, providing comprehensive and lasting relief from chronic pain.
Chad's expertise spans two primary audiences: individual consumers, particularly fitness enthusiasts dealing with chronic pain, and larger, self-funded employers aiming to reduce healthcare costs and improve employee wellness. His clients are often those who have exhausted traditional medical treatments and are looking to avoid surgery. By focusing on correct and complete diagnoses, Chad ensures that patients receive the most effective and precise treatment.
In the corporate sector, Chad works with employers and benefits advisors to integrate his advanced physical therapy methods into employee wellness programs. He has developed an effective, AI-driven text service that allows employees to access his therapeutic protocols remotely. This innovative solution is particularly beneficial for companies with multiple shifts, such as in warehousing and logistics, where traditional physical therapy appointments are impractical. By triaging cases through text and virtual consultations, Chad's approach minimizes productivity loss and healthcare costs while maximizing employee health outcomes.
In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines explains why improving your health starts with understanding where you are right now. Instead of guessing or trying to change everything at once, Derrick shares the measurements he looks at to build a clearer picture of a person's health and identify where improvement may have the greatest impact.
He walks through movement and mobility, body composition, muscle strength, VO₂ max, blood markers, micronutrients, and emerging measures of cellular health. Derrick also explains how putting these pieces together can help identify your “low-hanging fruit” and give you a more focused approach to improving health, performance, and longevity.
