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.

slipping sensation during overhead activities.

Okay, long first sentence, let's make sure that we're all on the same page. So I do have somebody

who's young. They're a swimmer. We know that there's right shoulder pain, but the specific

thing that they say is slipping sensation. So already go ahead, out loud, yell, like,
