Hi All,
Welcome to Glackin Physiotherapy, LLC. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who made this dream a reality. I've decided to dedicate this space to a bi-weekly movement letter. Included will be a summary of the current book chapters I am reading, as well as ways to translate the information to daily workouts to reduce pain and promote movement. Feel free to read along and comment on take home points you found interesting, as well as ways you've used the information to improve your lifestyle.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and Sports Studies at Rutgers University and received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
I am a certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), designated by the American Physical Therapy Association. To be considered, clinicians must complete at least 2000 hours of direct patient care in orthopedics. After submitting an application, clinicians are required to complete a 7 hour exam to demonstrate mastery in Orthopaedics.
I completed extensive dry needling training and is credentialed to practice dry needling in the state of Maryland through through Myopain Seminars (CMTPT). At the conclusion of the vigorous curriculum, practitioners must demonstrate extreme mastery of the anatomical system, both through practical and written examination. I continued my education to become an Assistant Instructor through Myopain Seminars and educates proper dry needling technique to multiple disciplines (physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, etc.).
I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). As per the NSCA website, “Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists® (CSCS®) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance.” This certification requires mastery of the information through written examination.
Kind Regards,
Brendan Glackin, DPT, CSCS
