The Global Origins of ISR: Healing, Skill, and the Power of Integration

What if injury recovery wasn’t just about healing—but about evolving?

In this episode, we explore the origins and development of the Integrated Skill Rehab (ISR) System, a revolutionary approach that bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and athletic performance.

Developed over two decades and across four continents, the ISR system was born from the crossroads of real-world experience in elite skill training and the science of physical therapy. From basketball courts in Europe to recovery clinics in South America and training labs in the U.S., Marvin "Doc" Harvey brought together the best of both worlds: the precision of biomechanics, the insight of sport psychology, and the urgency of real athlete timelines.

What makes ISR different?

It’s not just rehab—and it’s not just training. It’s a unified timeline that respects the natural phases of recovery while gradually reintroducing technical skill development. Too often, athletes are rushed. But ISR flips that script—emphasizing progressions over pressure, rhythm over reps, and mental readiness over medical clearance.

Listeners of this episode will learn how decades of global study shaped the ISR methodology, and how its cohesive framework now offers a smarter, safer way forward for athletes of every level.
