The Modern Physical Therapist: Rethinking What Great Care Looks Like
Updated: Sep 11
What does it mean to be a great physical therapist today?
In the first Areté Way Podcast, Areté Health CEO Eric DeYoung sits down with Lucas Simoes, PT, DPT, Clinic Director of Brunswick Physical Therapy in Cary, to explore what Lucas calls the modern physical therapist and why clinical skill alone is no longer enough.
Their conversation explores the importance of curiosity, accountability, continued growth and function-driven care. At the center of it all is a simple idea: great care isn't about doing more. It's about understanding what matters to the person in front of you and helping them get back to the life they want to live.
Lucas also shares his perspective on mentorship, developing the next generation of clinicians, improving access to care and his vision for building a clinic rooted in excellence and service to the Cary community.
Watch the full conversation to hear Eric and Lucas discuss the future of physical therapy and what it means to keep raising the standard of care.
