We’re proud to feature new clinical insights from Alex Corbett of our Partner Brand BreakThrough Physical Therapy .

His latest blog demystifies the “core,” outlines why it’s essential for stability and performance, and shares practical ways PT can help people strengthen it safely.

👉 Check out the full post on our blog: https://confluenthealth.com/resources/benefits-of-a-strong-core/

Ask ten people what the “core” is, and you’ll get ten different answers. For some, it’s the abs. For others, it includes the hips, back, or even the shoulders. The confusion makes sense when you think about how often the term gets tossed around in fitness, often without context or consistenc...

For too many Americans, pain has become part of daily life.

85% of patients in our Pain Perspective: 2025 MSK Industry Survey have lived with pain for more than a year, and most say it affects how they sleep, move, and think.

But there’s hope in the data. Patients overwhelmingly believe that movement is medicine and that physical therapy, not medication, holds the key to lasting relief.

At Confluent Health, we’re reimagining what pain care looks like:
✅ Patient-first
✅ Accessible and affordable
✅ Rooted in movement and mental well-being

Read the early insights: https://confluenthealth.com/resources/what-patients-are-really-saying-about-pain-early-insights-from-our-2025-msk-pain-survey/

More than 1,200 people across the U.S. recently shared their experiences living with musculoskeletal (MSK) pain—pain affecting muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, joints, or cartilage. Early results from The Pain Perspective: 2025 MSK Industry Survey reveal what patients are really feeling, facing...

What are patients really saying about pain?

Early findings from The Pain Perspective: 2025 MSK Industry Survey reveal an urgent truth. Chronic pain is lasting longer, affecting mental health, and creating barriers far beyond the physical.

▪️85% have lived with MSK pain for more than a year
▪️65% report mental health challenges tied to pain
▪️47% have avoided care due to cost
▪️74% say non-medication care like physical therapy is important
▪️9 in 10 would recommend PT to a friend

Patients are asking for more movement, more access, and more whole-person care. At Confluent Health, we’re listening and leading the way toward a more accessible, human approach to pain management.

The future of documentation isn’t about replacing clinicians. It’s about restoring what makes care human.

By integrating AI-powered documentation across our network, we’re helping providers reconnect with what matters most: their patients.

As Chief Clinical Officer Stephen Clark puts it, “We adopted AI documentation because we believe technology should serve clinicians, not the other way around.”

Every night for 35 years, physical therapist Rudy Marin followed the same routine: finish treating patients, go home, have dinner. And then, he would open his laptop to type clinical notes late into the evening.  “I would have dinner with my wife, then start typing my evaluation and treatment not...

Holiday travel shouldn’t come with a side of neck pain. ✈️

Dr. Alex Corbett from BreakThrough Physical Therapy recently reviewed today’s most popular travel neck pillows. He breaks down what actually supports your spine, what doesn’t, and why your vestibular system might be the real reason you keep jolting awake mid-flight.

If you’re hitting the roads or the skies this season, this is a must-read for arriving pain-free.

Most of us have been there — you finally reach your holiday destination, only to realize your neck feels like it never left the car or plane. Long hours of sitting, awkward sleeping positions, and cramped spaces can all turn your fun travel plans into painful plans.  With millions of people hitti...

AI is cutting after-hours documentation time for our clinicians and helping them reclaim their evenings.

Across our network, more than 1,300 providers are now using AI-powered clinical documentation to finish notes before leaving the clinic. The result? Less burnout, more balance, and stronger patient connections.

Hear from Rudy Marin of El Paso Physical Therapy Services and Brandon O’Malley of SporTherapy on how this rollout is transforming their day-to-day lives.
