NEW YORK, NY

ThriveCart, a leading all-in-one creator commerce, course, and community membership platform used by more than 75,000 businesses worldwide, today announced that it is expanding its built-in sales tax calculation and collection features to merchants on all plans, including ThriveCart Standard. 

The expansion of ThriveCart’s long-standing tax tools removes a friction point for creators as they scale: the need for separate, subscription-based tax compliance software. ThriveCart’s tax engine automatically calculates the correct rate for each customer’s jurisdiction at checkout, verifies VAT IDs for EU buyers, and applies the reverse charge mechanism where applicable – across the USA, Canada, the EU, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and other additional territories.

“Tax compliance shouldn’t be a barrier to growth for online sellers. By extending our built-in tax tools to every ThriveCart plan, we’re giving all of our merchants – from those just starting to established businesses – a straightforward, reliable way to collect relevant taxes and stay compliant without needing additional software. This is part of our ongoing commitment to keeping everything creators need in one place, for the lowest cost possible,” said Ismael Wrixen, CEO of ThriveCart.

The feature is entirely opt-in. Merchants who choose to enable it can calculate and collect sales tax directly within ThriveCart. Two new in-platform tools further support compliance awareness: a dashboard banner that surfaces products without tax enabled, and a prompt that appears each time a product is taken live without tax configured.

Tax remittance features are on ThriveCart’s roadmap and planned for late Q3 2026.

Clinician-led approach focuses on movement, strength and independence as adults age

John Abraham, Founder and CEO of Rapid Physiocare and Founder of RAPIDÉ, today introduced a clinician-led recovery framework focused on supporting movement, strength and physical function as adults age.

The framework reflects Abraham’s view that healthcare conversations around aging should include not only lifespan, but also mobility, independence and quality of life. Drawing on more than 25 years of clinical experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and movement science, Abraham said recovery should be viewed as a structured part of long-term physical care rather than only as rest after injury or exercise.

“Living longer should also mean paying attention to how well people move, function and participate in daily life,” said John Abraham. “Healthy aging is not only about life expectancy. It is also about whether people can continue to move confidently, remain active and maintain independence for as long as possible.”

Abraham’s recovery framework is built around five core principles: progressive strength development, individualized rehabilitation, purposeful movement, evidence-informed recovery strategies and sustainable lifestyle habits. The framework is intended to help individuals and clinicians think more systematically about physical function, movement quality and recovery planning.

According to Abraham, physical independence often changes gradually through reduced strength, lower mobility, poorer balance and declining movement confidence. He believes recovery-focused care can help support earlier intervention by identifying functional limitations and addressing them through clinician-guided assessment, rehabilitation and exercise planning.

“People rarely lose physical independence overnight,” Abraham said. “It often happens gradually. A structured recovery plan can help individuals better understand their movement needs and work toward maintaining strength and function over time.”

The framework also calls for a more connected approach to recovery care. Instead of treating physiotherapy, movement rehabilitation, exercise prescription and recovery modalities as separate services, Abraham advocates a coordinated clinical model guided by professional assessment and individual goals.

This philosophy informs RAPIDÉ, a clinician-led recovery center at 22 Martin Road in Singapore. RAPIDÉ integrates physiotherapy, guided movement, Pilates, strength development and selected recovery modalities, including contrast therapy, cryotherapy and red-light therapy, within a single clinical environment. Recommendations are guided by professional assessment, functional goals and individual suitability.

“Our objective is not to add more wellness services,” Abraham said. “It is to create a clearer pathway where people can move from assessment and treatment to recovery, performance and long-term physical care under professional guidance.”

Abraham said recovery should be considered as part of preventive health planning, particularly for adults seeking to maintain strength, mobility and functional capacity before limitations become more difficult to address. He encourages individuals to consult qualified healthcare professionals before beginning any rehabilitation, recovery or exercise program.

“The future of healthcare should be judged not only by the number of years added to life,” Abraham said. “It should also consider how many of those years people can remain strong, mobile and able to live with confidence.”
