Medbridge and Athlete Development Solutions partner to eliminate the gap between rehab and Return to Sport. Clinicians, athletic trainers, and performance professionals gain 125+ advanced athletic performance exercises and a Q4 cohort learning series built around four real return-to-sport cases. September 15, 2026 6 min. read SEATTLE - Medbridge, the leading digital health platform for clinician education, home exercise programs, patient-reported outcomes, and remote therapeutic monitoring, today announced a partnership with Athlete Development Solutions, founded by Nate Denning, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, RSCC of Integrated Performance and Phil Plisky, PT, DSc, ATC, CSCS. The partnership brings more than 125 athletic performance exercises to the Medbridge platform, along with a Q4 cohort learning series that teaches professionals how to program performance training from day one of rehabilitation. The transition from rehabilitation to performance has long been the weakest point in an athlete's recovery. Clinicians are asked to return athletes to competition, but the tools available to them typically stop at basic strengthening; well short of the speed, agility, and power demands of sport. The result is athletes who are discharged from care but undertrained for the field, court, or mound, and therefore left at an elevated risk of reinjury. This partnership gives rehabilitation and performance professionals a shared exercise vocabulary and framework, so an athlete's program can begin day one and continue through full performance. "Getting an athlete out of pain is not the same as getting them ready to compete, and our customers have been clear that they need help developing athletic performance," said Andrew Mickus, Chief Content and Clinical Officer at Medbridge. "Phil and Nate have spent their careers at the intersection of rehab and performance. This partnership puts their content directly into the workflows clinicians already use, and it does it in a way that serves physical therapists, athletic trainers, occupational therapists, and strength and conditioning professionals." A Library Built for Every Phase of Return to Sport The Athletic Performance Exercise Library spans the full progression of athletic readiness, giving professionals the range to build home exercise programs from early loading through full performance. * Foundational strength: Squats, presses, deadlifts, and loaded carries that establish the movement quality and capacity athletes need before advancing. * Power and plyometrics: Progressive jumping, landing, and rate-of-force-development work matched to tissue tolerance at each phase of healing. * Speed and sprint mechanics: Acceleration and top-speed patterning that prepares athletes for the demands they will actually meet in competition. * Agility and movement prep: Change-of-direction, deceleration, and preparatory patterns that begin early in rehab and continue as the athlete returns to the field. The exercises are demonstrated and explained by clinicians in a real gym environment, giving professionals both the visual model and the coaching cues needed to prescribe with confidence. The library is more advanced than standard rehabilitation exercise content by design, and it is built to be prescribed by physical therapists, athletic trainers, occupational therapists, and certified strength and conditioning specialists. A Cohort Series Organized Around Four Real Cases Simplifying Performance Rehab: The 4-Case Clinical Roadmap Mentorship follows four athletes through their full recovery: a 17-year-old baseball player after ulnar collateral ligament repair, a 13-year-old volleyball player with shoulder instability, a 15-year-old soccer and basketball player after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and a 19-year-old basketball player with a lateral ankle sprain. Each case walks through the phases of healing across all six domains of performance: movement, strength, power, speed, agility, and metabolic conditioning. Rather than teaching performance training as something that begins after discharge, the series shows professionals how to build it into the plan of care from the first visit, with phase-specific goals, progression criteria, and coaching cues at each stage. "Athletes do not stop being athletes when they get injured, but too often their training does," said Phil Plisky, PT, DSc, ATC, CSCS, co-founder of Athlete Development Solutions. "What we teach in this series is how to keep training the athlete while the tissue heals, so return to sport is a continuation of the plan, rather than a leap of faith at the end of it." "The clinicians and coaches who can handle return to sport well are the ones who speak the same language across the whole timeline," said Nate Denning, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, RSCC, co-founder of Athlete Development Solutions. "Putting this content on Medbridge means the physical therapist, the athletic trainer, and the strength coach are finally working from the same playbook." The cohort experience gives professionals additional benefits to accompany the courses: a dedicated three-month period to learn alongside peers who are working through the same four cases in real time. Each month, a live webinar with instructors Phil and Nate dives deeper into a new context to help participants apply the concepts: managing workload, building sport-specific progressions, and putting it all together in practice. It's the difference between watching the roadmap and actually building it with a cohort of peers doing the same work alongside you. The Athletic Performance Exercise Library is available now to Medbridge customers. The Q4 Sports Performance Rehabilitation Cohort learning series is open for enrollment now, with sessions beginning October 21, 2026.

Medbridge and Patient360 partner to help practices Protect Medicare reimbursement. Outpatient rehabilitation organizations will gain access to streamlined federal reporting capabilities, allowing them to meet complex requirements without operational disruption SEATTLE-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Medbridge, the leading digital health platform for clinician education, home exercise programs, patient-reported outcomes, and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM), today announced a strategic partnership with Patient360, a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), to deliver Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) reporting directly from the patient-reported outcomes captured in the Medbridge platform. Practices that submit accurate reports can more effectively protect Medicare revenue while also building an outcomes record that positions payer contracts and referrals for upcoming CMS innovation models. For private practices, quality reporting is becoming table stakes for maintaining reimbursement and growing new business. Regulators, payers, and referral sources increasingly expect data-backed proof of outcomes. Clinicians who are required to report MIPS but do not can lose up to 9% of their Medicare Part B reimbursement. Practices that submit accurate reports can more effectively protect Medicare revenue while also building an outcomes record that wins payer contracts and referrals. The Medbridge and Patient360 partnership allows outpatient rehabilitation organizations of all sizes, from large systems to independent private practices, to collect patient-reported outcomes and submit MIPS quality data to CMS from a single integrated workflow without supporting a manual reporting process. "Improving patient care quality and clinical outcomes is the foundation of everything we do at Medbridge, and proving that quality is quickly becoming essential to how practices compete and grow," said Donovan Campbell, CEO of Medbridge. "Meeting federal requirements is complex and critical to the stability of private practices. No organization should be left on the sidelines because reporting feels too complicated or too expensive. This partnership gives every practice, regardless of size, a streamlined path to compliance." Building Sustainability for Private Practices The partnership is built to remove the specific barriers that keep independent groups out of MIPS, helping organizations: * Protect Medicare revenue. Practices can meet reporting requirements and avoid the automatic penalty, keeping revenue they would otherwise forfeit. * Prevent the need for added staff or expertise. Clinicians capture outcomes in the workflow they already use, and Patient360 handles the CMS-certified submission, scoring, and audit support behind the scenes. * Pay only for those who need it. Practices can scope reporting to just the National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) they want to submit rather than paying to cover an entire patient roster, which keeps the cost proportional to the need. Streamlining Quality Compliance for Sustainability Within the Medbridge One Care platform, clinicians capture patient-reported outcomes such as Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) through the same workflows and processes they already use for home exercise programs, patient engagement, and progress tracking. Patient360 then handles the CMS-certified work: measuring stewardship, benchmarking, score calculation, submitting to CMS, and audit support. "Rehabilitation practices have long needed a QCDR partner that understands their clinical reality and meets clinicians where they already work," said Colin Barry, CEO of Patient360. "Together with Medbridge, we are removing the operational friction that has kept too many therapy organizations, particularly smaller independent practices, from participating in MIPS so they can focus on patient outcomes rather than paperwork." The Medbridge and Patient360 MIPS reporting solution is available now for qualified practices, with reporting beginning for the 2027 performance year.
