## Resource

Why Progressive Overload Is the Missing Link in Rehab with Dr. Todd Riddle There’s a big difference between learning a technique…and understanding a system. In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the FAKTR rehab methodology — not the marketing version, not the surface-level explanation — but the actual framework that drives how we assess, load, and progress patients. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr. Todd Riddle — our Director of Education — breaks down: The evolution of FAKTR from technique-based roots to a full rehabilitation continuum Why progressive overload is the missing link in most rehab programs The difference between treating a condition… and treating a person And how static, motion, resistance, function, and performance fit together inside the FAKTR system You’ll also hear why we believe pain during exercise isn’t automatically the enemy — and how to clinically differentiate between “injured” and simply “sensitive.”If you’ve taken a FAKTR course before, this will deepen your understanding. If you haven’t, this will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the system actually works. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS: If you’re interested in earning your FAKTR Certification, join the 2026 FAKTR Live Course Priority Waitlist to get notified when a regional cohort opens in your area.
