As a PhD experienced in kinesiology from UBC, I have turned manual osteopathic therapist. My approach involves applying what I've learned from university labs and translating it into practical applications in the real world. My perspective stems from a frustration: the realization that it wasn't satisfactory for me to solely publish research papers that my peers might or might not read or appreciate. I was certain that this work wouldn't reach the world to make a difference in people's lives.
