Dr. Brad Simpson: Spine Manipulation, Thoracic Manipulation, Using the TMT

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Brad Simpson, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, FAAOMPT to discuss Spine Manipulation with an emphasis on the thoracic spine. The two also discuss use of Brad's TMT device to help with manipulation of the thoracic spine.  Dr. Brad Simpson has worked in outpatient orthopaedics, as a physical therapist, for over fifteen years. He is passionate about learning the ‘whole’ patient, spending the time deciphering a person’s history and clinical picture to best treat each individual uniquely. His love for teaching leads to patients becoming empowered, learning how to manage their bodies and properly progress back to their hobbies and sports. Brad’s accomplishments in PT are a testament to his pursuit of excellence, something he is continuing to happily seek as he keeps evolving with research and clinical experience. Brad loves staying active with his family in the Pacific Northwest, going on hikes and camping, golfing, paddle boarding, and spending quality time with his daughter and Maltese puppy. “Each knee pain patient is treated differently, even if their pain is in the same location and hurts the same as somebody else. The patient’s background, their injury history, job demands, home-life, socioeconomic background, etc., all play into a patient’s ‘pain experience’. Building a program unique to each person’s needs is rewarding. Even better is seeing them get back to the hobbies they were limited in prior to coming to Reflex.” For more on Brad, you can find him at https://reflexknees.com/provider/brad-simpson-dpt-ocs or check out his TMT here: https://www.amazon.com/TMT-Thoracic-Manipulation-Spinal-Black/dp/B07CR3XVHJ  To keep up to date with everything we are currently doing on the podcast, be sure to subscribe and follow @brawnbody on social media!
