I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn, and you'll see the life

I have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to

change lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place.

Enjoy the show.

appropriate initial recommendation? So we have A, referral to a pain management specialist for

further evaluation. B, prescription of a strengthening program for low back and core. C, recommendation

for the use of a lumbar support cushion while sitting.

And D is recommendation for a program focused on improving posture and ergonomics.

Let's go to the top of this one, y'all.

I'm so excited.

We are going to dominate this thing. All right. Let's go up to the top. It says Janie is a 50-year-old

female who presents with a complaint of chronic low back pain. All right. You got to know chronic
