The Adaptable Athlete Podcast Redefining Physical Therapy Through Ecological Dynamics w/ Martijn Lips and Paul Nelson
Welcome to today's show!...My guests today are Martijn Lips and Paul Nelson!
Martijn is a lecturer at SOMT University of Physiotherapy and sports physical therapist from the Netherlands.
He focuses mostly on readaptation of lower extremity injuries, predominantly ACL-injuries.
He approaches human movement and readaptation from an Ecological perspective and believe this should have a more prominent place in a physical therapy setting. Because of this he co-founded The Sports Practitioners- a platform from which they give courses in applying an Ecological Dynamics perspective in physical therapy.
Paul is a physical therapist and has over 22 years of experience in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy with expertise in persistent pain, post-operative rehabilitation, conditioning, and performance.
Paul has been providing clinical instruction since 2003 and is currently an adjunct instructor at AT Still University, where he lectures on musculoskeletal conditions, mindfulness, and performance attributes.
Paul as clinical instructor of the year in 2019. His experience as an adjunct instructor and evidence-based clinical practice has led him to pursue a Ph.D. in Integrated Health Sciences at Rocky Mountain University.
Paul’s research interests lie in maximizing optimal communication between clinicians and patients, assessing and treating persistent pain states, ecological dynamics, and maximizing human performance.
In this conversation we discuss the role of a physical therapist, and how we can redefine it through the lens of ecological dynamics.
