DR. CHAD NOWLIN is a pioneering physical therapist and the Founder of NRG Physio, a revolutionary approach to physical therapy that emphasizes accurate diagnosis and holistic treatment. With a strong background in anatomy and a passion for improving musculoskeletal health, Chad has developed an innovative evaluation process called the Keystone Reset. This process challenges traditional physical therapy methods by addressing root causes rather than symptoms, providing comprehensive and lasting relief from chronic pain.      Chad's expertise spans two primary audiences: individual consumers, particularly fitness enthusiasts dealing with chronic pain, and larger, self-funded employers aiming to reduce healthcare costs and improve employee wellness. His clients are often those who have exhausted traditional medical treatments and are looking to avoid surgery. By focusing on correct and complete diagnoses, Chad ensures that patients receive the most effective and precise treatment.     In the corporate sector, Chad works with employers and benefits advisors to integrate his advanced physical therapy methods into employee wellness programs. He has developed an effective, AI-driven text service that allows employees to access his therapeutic protocols remotely. This innovative solution is particularly beneficial for companies with multiple shifts, such as in warehousing and logistics, where traditional physical therapy appointments are impractical. By triaging cases through text and virtual consultations, Chad's approach minimizes productivity loss and healthcare costs while maximizing employee health outcomes.     Chad's dedication to his field stems from his belief that everyone deserves access to superior physical therapy. He is committed to educating both individuals and organizations on the importance of comprehensive musculoskeletal care and the potential for avoiding unnecessary surgeries. drchad@nrgphysio.com (317) 707-9966 (call or text)  

LANEY ROSENAWEIG is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over three decades in the mental health field.  In addition to her private practice, Laney trains licensed mental health professionals in the use of  "ART",  ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY. Laney has taken her training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizaation Reprogramming) to a place where recovery is not only much faster (often as little as a one hour seession), but the patient does. not have to relive the trauma, nor the therapist hear about it. She describes the work as targeting the area of the brain which talk therapy is unable to access, and the patient is able to replace negative images with positive ones. While the memory of the trauma is not erased, its impact is mitigated. Laney says,“The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.” We discuss her training, how she discovered and devleposed her technique, how she trains other practioners and offers many examples of successful patient treatment. To learn more, watch her TEDx Talk or  find a practioner near you, please visit her website : www.acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com
