After Studying Physiotherapy and Movement Science in the mid-1990s, I have been actively practicing as a physiotherapist and manual therapist in a private rehabilitation and physiotherapy clinic. Throughout my career, I have been both fascinated and frustrated by the variability in patient outcomes, despite applying scientifically grounded protocols and techniques. This inconsistency often led me to question my career choice, as it seemed that the effectiveness of interventions was unpredictable, almost as if governed by chance.
Even after pursuing numerous postgraduate education programs, many of which were led by highly regarded experts in the field, I continued to encounter this same challenge—there was always a gap in consistently achieving positive outcomes. I felt that a crucial piece of the puzzle was missing in my pursuit to enhance patient health.
That was until I discovered P-DTR. What resonated with me was the method’s individualized approach to assessment, allowing for the identification and diagnosis of the specific factors hindering a patient's recovery. It became clear to me that neurology plays a critical role in governing the body's functions, and by altering how the body perceives information, we can facilitate an appropriate response to both external and internal changes.
I am truly convinced that functional neurology provides us with a powerful opportunity to help patients restore their health and transform their lives. Since incorporating P-DTR into my practice, I have experienced a significant increase in patient demand, leading me to recognize the importance of contributing to the teaching team. I believe that this approach represents the future of manual therapy and has the potential to create meaningful advancements in the field.
