Building Safer Rehab Tools—From Scratch

June 09, 2025

From prototyping with elastic straps to running a multi-product health tech company, Shon Harker is redefining what it means to “build better rehab.”


In this episode, we explore how he creates safer treadmills, gait-retraining tools, and functional resistance systems — all grounded in real-world clinical needs. He breaks down how motorless treadmills reprogram movement, the power of walking in neuroplasticity, and why execution always beats ideas.
