What’s a Physio Coach?

My Vision for this blog is to provide a way for anyone around the world to access musculoskeletal healthcare advice and management. I have been a Physiotherapist for 26 years in orthopedic manual therapy, finding myself unable to provide hands on care for the time being. I feel a loss of my village ie: patients and colleagues. I need to help people attain healthcare and fitness during the time of social distancing. I am a caregiver by trade and personality and need to find a way to help.

A little about me in order to legitimize my advice. I have multiple science degrees, two specifically in Physical Therapy, an entry level Master of Science and a terminal Doctor of Science. I attended a Residency program in Perth, Western Australia and completed a Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy. I am a life long athlete, Collegiate track and field athlete, downhill and cross-country skier, power lifter, cyclist, runner, etc…

I am integrating movement analysis, pain relief and strength and conditioning into a specialized program for different body regions and pain conditions.

My inspiration is multifactorial. I would like to begin this blog with a targeted workout inspired by my friend Whitney, in Myanmar. I am modeling the naming of workouts after the CrossFit workouts. I will name workouts according to the inspiration, based on their limitations and needs. In the future we will include images and/or videos.
