Dr Justin Farnsworth, DPT: Programming Rehab Power & Strength, Pre-Fatigue RTS Testing & PT Business

Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Dr. Justin Farnsworth, founder of Rebuilt Strength in Rochester, New York, a physical therapist who spent over a decade coaching in the fitness industry before PT school. Justin makes the case that rehab is training, and that most clinicians were never taught to program. They get into the characteristics rehab tends to skip: power, which lives at 3 to 5 reps rather than 3 sets of 10, strength, which requires real strain and not just fatigue, and hypertrophy, which comes down to mechanical tension and proximity to failure. He also rethinks activation, breaking down yielding and overcoming isometrics and where potentiation belongs in a session. The conversation covers his pre-fatigue hack for return to sport testing, built with a leg press, a tape measure, and his eyes rather than a $10,000 machine. It closes on the business of physical therapy, and why understanding math is not the opposite of altruism but the thing that keeps the lights on. If you are a clinician, coach, or new grad who wants a bigger toolbox, this one is full of gold.
