Tom Walters PT, DPT
My name is Tom and I have designed this blog with the goal of providing research-based physical therapy, exercise and general health information related to injury prevention and performance of the human musculoskeletal system. As a former athlete and physical therapy patient who has struggled through recovery from surgery and various injuries, I can understand how frustrating it can be to be side-lined from participating in your favorite activities. My hope is that this blog can serve others by teaching techniques and exercises that can be used to prevent injuries and improve musculoskeletal health.
As for my credentials, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science from Montana State University-Bozeman and Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Chapman University in Orange, California. I am currently practicing full-time in a privately owned outpatient orthopedics physical therapy practice in the Santa Barbara, California area. Prior to becoming a physical therapist, I worked as a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
