Rebuild. Rewire. Recondition.
Greg Lothian on Fixing Human Movement for Good
What if your body isn’t broken, just misunderstood?
In Episode #71 of Pre-Zero Sports Talk, I sat down with Greg Lothian, an athletic therapist, biomechanics expert, and founder of Acculete, to challenge one of the most frustrating myths in physical recovery:
👉 That pain is something you “just have to manage.”
Greg doesn’t treat pain.
He solves it by shifting the entire model of rehabilitation.
The Pain Isn’t the Problem
Greg's approach flips the script on what most people think physical therapy is.
“Most rehab is built to chase symptoms, not solve root problems,” he told me.
That’s why so many people, weekend warriors, aging athletes, or even pros, get stuck in the same injury cycles.
He breaks recovery down into three key stages:
Assessment (Real-time data, not guesswork)
Reconditioning (The messy middle we skip too often)
Rebuild (Performance that sticks for life)
And he doesn’t just say this works.
He’s built a whole system and platform, Acculete, to prove it.
What We Talked About
➢ Why rehab often fails—even with great therapists
➢ The trap of “quick fixes” and symptom-chasing
➢ How to measure real progress in human movement
➢ Why clients should be treated like elite athletes
➢ How AI and wearable tech are shaping the future of physical therapy
➢ What coaches, teams, and even families get wrong about long-term health
➢ And the one client story that changed how Greg approaches care—forever
My Take
This conversation left me thinking about the systems we accept simply because they’re familiar.
Rehab. Medicine. Even coaching.
But what if the system itself is the problem?
Greg reminded me that real transformation isn’t about adding more noise—it’s about refining what matters.
It's about engineering adherence, not just discipline.
And it's about listening to the body instead of fighting it.
