• Healing Begins with Movement: Why Physical Therapy Should Be Your First Step with Dave Jeter

  In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes seasoned physical therapist Dave Jeter, founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy, to challenge the conventional approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. Rather than jumping straight to surgeries or quick fixes, Dave advocates for starting with movement-based healing—retraining the body to function as a whole, not in isolation. Drawing from 23+ years of experience, Dave breaks down how PT addresses the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. From chronic back issues to pre-surgical support, Dave shares why physical therapy should be the first line of defense, and how understanding the kinetic chain is crucial to lasting recovery. Through powerful stories and simple metaphors, he illustrates how PT can help patients not just heal—but thrive. About the Guest:Dave Jeter is a licensed physical therapist and founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, WA. With over two decades of experience, Dave specializes in biomechanical dysfunctions, manual therapy, and restoring functional movement patterns. His mission is to empower patients with knowledge and movement so they can reclaim their active lives without unnecessary procedures. Key Takeaways: Physical therapy treats the cause, not just the symptoms, by addressing the full kinetic chain. Quick fixes like injections or surgery can mask the problem—PT helps prevent them altogether. Chronic pain can be retrained by rewiring how the brain perceives movement. Proactive PT can reduce surgeries and healthcare costs dramatically. Everyone—especially older adults—can benefit from regular movement assessments to prevent future injuries.
