If you’re attending the APTA Combined Sections Meeting in Washington, DC, January 23-25, be sure to stop by the MeyerPT booth (#1904).
Sue Falsone, PT Aligned Contributor and Founder of Structure and Function Education,
will be there throughout the event to discuss Dry Needling Innovations and her new book, Bridging The Gap.
Renowned physical therapist Mike Voight (PT, DHSc, OCS, SCS, ATC, CSCS, FAPTA) had this to say about Sue’s latest book:
To date there have been numerous books written about rehabilitation for the medical professional. Likewise, there have been training books written for the strength and conditioning coach. But these professionals don’t work in independent silos; they work together as a team, and understanding the roles of each is imperative to best meet the needs of the athlete. “Bridging the Gap” fills this crucial role, and who better to impart knowledge and experience than Sue Falsone, who has worked in this role her entire career at the highest level of sport. I have known Sue Falsone for many years and can attest to her integrated collaborative approach. “Bridging the Gap” is a must read for anyone working with athletes in the continuum of rehabilitation to performance.
