Master Exercise Programming: The Missing Piece in Physical Therapy

Let’s be real: most physical therapy programs don’t teach you how to select and program exercises. It’s one of the biggest gaps in the curriculum. But I get it—PT schools are packed with so much theory and clinical work that they probably assume we’ve got the whole exercise thing covered. Spoiler alert: most of us don’t.

Over the last decade, I’ve been fine-tuning a framework that makes exercise selection and programming simple—and more importantly, effective—for rehab professionals. It’s designed to help people get better, faster.

Why I Built This Course

For the past 3-4 years, I’ve been laser-focused on one thing: making programming simple for physical therapists. Let’s be honest—you’re busy, and you don’t have hours to spend building custom exercise plans for every patient. This is why my framework is plug-and-play.

When you sign up, you’re not just getting a course. You’re getting every single framework, spreadsheet, and PDF that I use daily to streamline exercise selection and programming. Think of it as a shortcut to better patient outcomes.

Why Should You Listen to Me?

I’m not just some PT who stumbled into exercise programming. I’m a PT obsessed with applying exercise science to the rehab world. With 10 years in the profession and a ton of mistakes under my belt, I’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t). As the owner of HIDEF PT, I’ve surrounded myself with the brightest minds in our field. I’ve hosted and attended dozens of courses taught by some of the smartest PTs out there.

I took all of that experience, distilled it down, and built this course.

Why Does Programming Matter?

Here’s the thing: poor programming and coaching are the top reasons people fail in physical therapy. If you can’t prescribe the right exercises, in the right order, at the right dose, your patients won’t get better. Period.

The SAID principle tells us the body adapts to the demands we place on it. Too little demand? No adaptation, no progress. Too much demand? You’re flirting with injury. The sweet spot is the Goldilocks zone—where the load is just right for strength, endurance, and recovery. That’s where this framework lives.

What You Get

This course breaks it all down into 5 main areas of programming mastery. You’ll learn exactly how to select exercises, set up a plan, and adjust on the fly for any patient that walks through your door. And remember, you’re getting all the tools and resources I use myself, proven and battle-tested in the clinic.

This is your chance to bridge the gap between what PT school taught you and what you actually need to know to get real results.

I have found that these 5 areas are the key to success. And the great thing is, if you have a good understanding of these areas programming becomes a lot easier. Programming should be effortless. Once you have the framework, it's easy to build from there.

So if you have ever felt any of the following

Then this course is for you.

At the end of this course, your fellow PT's will be in awe with the skill and ease with which you write programs. Your patients will get results. You will feel confident and competent. Your life as a PT will get a lot easier. To get started we need your first and last name, your email, and your credit card info. I promise, this will be the best money you ever spent. If it's not, I'll give it all back to you.
