Social Impact Authors: How & Why Author Dr Tom Walters Is Helping To Change Our World

Challenge beliefs gently. All of us carry beliefs about pain and what it means. Early in my career, I would be more aggressive about challenging faulty beliefs my patients held, which would sometimes be met with resistance and pushback. Over the years, I learned to be gentler in my approach and plant subtle seeds that challenged the harmful beliefs. Ultimately, this slower and more gentle approach was more effective in terms of helping my patients think differently about their bodies and pain.

As part of my series about “authors who are making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Tom Walters.

Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist who specializes in the treatment of pain and movement disorders. He is the founder of Rehab Science and dedicates his time to teaching people about human movement and pain and how to recover from injury most effectively.
