    From Rehab to Return-to-Play: Building Systems for Performance-Based Care with Dr. Tom Teter

    In Part 2 of our two-part series with Dr. Tom Teter, we pick up right where we left off—unpacking the systems, frameworks, and thought processes behind performance-based rehab and athletic care.

    Dr. Teter dives into the heart of the Clinical Human Performance Practitioner (CHPP) model, sharing how his clinical audit and fitness audit processes help healthcare providers deliver consistent, collaborative care that doesn’t stop at pain relief. You’ll learn how this framework supports better outcomes for both patients and integrated care teams by ensuring every stage of rehab and performance development is addressed.

    If you work with active patients or athletes and want to strengthen your clinical reasoning and care structure, this episode is packed with practical insights you can start using immediately.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • The gaps in traditional sports med certifications
    • How to structure clinical decision-making using audit algorithms
    • The six essential stages of rehabilitation for performance-based care
    • How to define clear roles on integrated support teams to eliminate “turf wars”

    Rebuilding Better Athletes: The System Every Sports Clinician Needs with Dr. Tom Teter

    In today’s episode, we kick off Part 1 of a powerful two-part conversation with Dr. Tom Teter—a chiropractor, educator, and creator of the Clinical Human Performance Practitioner (CHPP) Certification. With over two decades of experience working with athletes of all levels, Dr. Teter shares how his early frustrations with traditional rehab models led him to develop a performance-driven system that connects clinical care with athletic development.

    We explore the disconnect between rehab and performance, why discharging a patient after their pain subsides is often not enough, and how a structured, algorithmic approach can create better outcomes for both clinicians and patients. If you've ever asked yourself, “What’s next after pain relief?”—this episode is for you.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • Why most rehab models fall short when preparing athletes to return to play
    • How to redefine “maximum medical improvement” with a performance lens
    • The origins of the Rehab to Fitness framework and CHPP Certification
    • What providers miss when they skip the stages between motor control and sport-specific readiness
    • Dr. Teter’s clinical audit and fitness audit processes
