Pain Free Performance Specialist Rehab Certification
The PPSC is EXCITED to partner with PRN to bring our industry leading education and systems IN HOUSE for all PRN staff!
The 2-Day PPSC Rehab Course will fundamentally change the way you approach patient care while improving your confidence and skills at prescribing exercise based interventions.
There is a well defined and evidence supported gap that exists between rehab education and real work application. 89% of Physical Therapists agree that prescribing resistance exercise is part of their role however only 49% feel confident in doing so*
An annual increase in sedentary lifestyles and inactivity demonstrate the need for more exercise based interventions and we believe Rehab Pros should be on the front lines as leaders in Preventative, Pro-active Health Care.
We will be spending time not only discussing but also coaching each other in real time in order to improve application and confidence in the PPSC system.
We will help you bridge the gap from rehab to performance and from clinical education to real world application.

What our PPSC
Alumni are
saying...
“Hands down one of the best courses I’ve attended”
“PPSC combines multiple rehabilitation philosophies into one comprehensive logical strategy. Whether you are a manual therapist, a functional movement specialist, strengthen and conditioning specialist or focus on neuromuscular activation / EMG studies in your practice you will leave this course with valuable insights that challenge you to think about rehab holistically. This course is the missing link between the siloed practice patterns in physical therapy. You want evidence informed concepts, you will get it here! This course has wide applications whether you practice in geriatrics or sports, the concepts taught during the course can be applied across most populations. Justin Farnsworth is a passionate and unfiltered presenter who demonstrates mastery of the knowledge and effectively conveys the background literature to support the concepts discussed. In our often siloed practice environment this course is a unified challenge to the status quo..”
“I use the PPSC course material in my clinical practice every single day..”
It provides a framework for my treatment plans, a foundation for patient education and is the backbone of nearly every home exercise program I create. This course elevated my clinical practice from day one and I highly recommend it for any clinician who places exercise at the core of their treatment philosophy.
“There is no system that streamlines the rehab process as simply and effectively as the PPSC."
In my three decades of clinical and performance work with professional and every day athletes, there is no system that streamlines the rehab process as simply and effectively as the PPSC. I use these principles daily to help people get out of pain and to improve their training skills and health for the long term.
“The PPSC did an amazing job adding clinical application so that we could apply this to patients on day 1. "
I had the pleasure of hosting the Pain-Free Performance (PPSC) Clinical Course at my facility and will say that it was a great compliment to the PPSC that I had completed 2 years prior. As a profession, physical therapists lack the education of proper loading strategies as well as exercise progression. This course did a great job with both and will continue to be a staple in my practice. Thank you, Justin, and the PPSC team for continuing to challenge the "status quo" of physical therapy so that we can better serve our patients.
