Background

Low back pain has been an interest of mine since 14, when I started having some. Understanding how the body works, moves and heals has been a constant curiosity through school, as a teacher and researcher. In practice, observing how patients have different preferences, choices and effects has driven my search for deeper understanding of what factors influence patient outcomes. I love being around teachers and researchers who share my curiosity to ask questions, learn and share.
