WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
And finally, we’ll send you away with a small workbook of pointers you can immediately begin to employ in your own life to feel better and do more!
Don’t let society’s view of “aging” affect how you live your life. YOU and only you, determine the quality and direction of your life after retirement. There are a lot of opinions out there as to how to age “gracefully”…we get it. And I guess you could say “we’re just another opinion”. But you owe it to yourself to hear us out.
Husband and wife team with over 40 years of experience in physical rehabilitation and health and wellness are excited to show you their formula for aging successfully.
Ed is the sole presenter for Bringing Fitness & Rehab into the 21st Century.
Ed’s professional bio & career are extensive. His 40+ years of experience as a practicing physical therapist specializing in orthopedics, joint replacements, and sports medicine coupled with 17 years as a competitive CrossFit athlete, and a 14-year CrossFit / Mircrogym affiliate owner has uniquely prepared him to lead the charge in training the elderly. In 2012, after years of owning and operating outpatient rehabilitation clincis, and treating patients in the outpatient sector, Ed elected to sell his physical therapy practices and solely focus on the preventative and corrective care of his aging patients which he now proudly calls his “athletes”.
Ed’s educational background, numerous certifications, and comprehensive experience are listed below.
Ed’s final outpatient physical therapy private sector venture of three outpatient rehabilitation clinics from 1999 to 2012 was a product of a non-competition contract in the direct Tampa Bay Area. Ed and an exceptionally small administrative team managed all aspects (strategic, financial and operational) of the three Sarasota-based clinics that expanded to 38,000 visits and $1.0 million in annual profit. Ed brings 32 years of executive operational and financial management expertise, including holding positions at an executive level with Select Medical Systems as an Officer and Vice President from 1997 to 1999 and at RehabWorks, a subsidiary of Continental Medical Systems, Inc., as a Regional Vice President from 1993 to 1997.
In addition to his executive roles, he has also served these companies as a pioneer in the development of systems to educate, communicate, monitor and control expectations and results at both the therapist and administrative levels. These systems allowed for a lean infrastructure and generous incentive plans for the caregivers and care teams, resulting in ambitious and loyal workforces.
Ed’s business personality and philosophies have allowed him to function successfully and with mutual respect at all levels within an organization. As a hands-on, systems-based manager and executive, expectations are always realized.

MBA, ACSM/PT
Samantha (Sam) Farina, MBA, ACSM/PT is a “retired” healthcare executive, focusing on the prevention of musculoskeletal and metabolic pathologies caused by poor lifestyle choices. From personal training to nutrition coaching to lifestyle coaching, Sam credits her success to being tenured and educated as a “mature” athlete and having some years under her belt from which to draw experience.
Sam is certified through the ACSM as a personal trainer and holds multiple strength and conditioning certifications from USAW to CrossFit. She has studied under many of the founders of the ancestral health movement and has trained body composition under Charles Poliquin. With a passion for improving the lives of her athletes and clients, Sam brings real-world solutions to the most common problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle and the Standard American Diet.
Working with younger athletes in a functional fitness environment for 14 years and currently more seniors, she boasts an ability to see and develop the athleticism and functional independence that is possible and necessary in later years.
