TSPT Academy is applicable for all health and rehabilitation professionals. This includes (but is not limited to) Physical Therapists, PT Assistants, Athletic Trainers, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Functional medicine and osteopathic doctors, and/or anyone who has a license to treat.

While we do include specific treatments that may not apply to all practitioners (i.e. joint manipulation technique videos), these videos are only a small portion of the total content within TSPT Academy.

For our TSPT Academy videos, there is an expectation of prior learning and knowledge. A foundation of human anatomy and musculoskeletal differential diagnosis will make your learning more impactful. More importantly, we focus on taking your current knowledge and help you understand how to incorporate it on a much deeper level.

If you want to become a clinical expert, grow both personally and professionally, and learn how to make more income along the way, join TSPT Academy!
