“Strong Clinicians Build Strong Patients”
-Dr. Joe Camoratto, DPT, PT, CF-L1

Join the waitlist for our next cohort

At Across The Continuum, we are on a mission to teach the foundations of intelligent programming and the essentials of coaching to physical therapists, and clinicians of all backgrounds. Through our physical therapy ceu courses we give clinicians the tools, knowledge, and confidence to build the most active patient population yet.

What’s The Problem With Physical Therapy As Is?

The rehab world is missing the integration of exercise prescription, fitness coaching, and injury management in the current plans of care.

Patients have been under-dosed in activity for too long.

Strength training should be used as a primary tool for improving patient health and physical confidence. This starts with improving clinician confidence in their fundamental exercise prescription knowledge.

Many Physical Therapists & Clinicians Are Unsure Of:

Where to go with patients that are not ready to return to their prior training level but no longer have pain
How to effectively rehabilitate patients who perform above ADLs and need more intense intervention than inactive or sedentary population
Where to start learning programming
How to modify activity due to fatigue or symptoms/pain
How to progress/regress/lateralize training to meet patient goals
Linking rehab to performance/training, or sport into rehab
Working with and how to intervene on “high-level” patients or athletes

You don’t need to be a “sports clinician” to effectively manage athletes.

If you are tired of giving out the same 3 sets of 10 exercises to each patient, then our courses are right for you.

Don’t just do mediocre exercise programming to help people get out of pain, provide patients with the absolute most bang for their buck with more specific and intelligently prescribed exercise that will come with secondary benefits and the ability to transfer over into that self management program in the gym and in real life.

He has also take 10+ masters athletes to the highest level of CrossFit competition, The CrossFit Games.

"Prior to joining the AC course, I didn't have much of a framework in how I approached exercise programming with my patients. The course has taught me how to systematically approach exercise programming through a holistic lens. I now feel much more confident in using my exercise prescription skills to empower my patients to get strong and return to doing the things they love."

"Joe and CJ offer a wealth of knowledge that will greatly increase your comfort with programming at any level. Whether you are a new grad who feels lost with ther-ex or you are working with high level athletes/lifters, anyone who enrolls in this mentorship will notice an improvement in their exercise programming skillset"

"As a new grad, I felt ill-prepared to purposefully prescribe exercise in a manner that would be most effective at helping my patients' achieve their goals. Through video lectures, up-to-date research, and the clinical expertise of Joe and CJ, I now feel more prepared than ever to adequately program exercise for my clients. You don't need to be an Olympic weightlifter or only treat CrossFit competitors to benefit from this program!"
