The Underdog - Michael Moore Masters in Motion
-
- Medicine
On his way to try and walk on at the University of Oklahoma, 1.5 hours south of Folsom, CA, Michael realized it was the furthest away from home he had ever been in his life. Michael eventually succeeded and made the teams in football and wrestling at the Division I program.
Not having confidence in his science aptitude, Michael initially planned to major in history before switching to physical therapy at the last minute. He would end up switching to physical therapy and would do more than travel a few hours south of Folsom - he would train halfway around the world. Today, Michael is one of the founding fellows of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT), winner of numerous professional awards, and a clinician who continues to practice today, at 72 years old.
Over and over again, Michael had grit in the face of initial doubt. In this podcast, Michael describes his story of perseverance, experiences training with Maggie Knott and Freddie Kaltenborn, and some of the thoughts he has on what physical therapists - and their profession - need to do in the future.
