Luke Nelson - Helping people with running-related injuries
This week on the Physio Foundations podcast I spoke to Dr Luke Nelson, AKA sports Chiro Luke, about the pathway he has been on from new grad practitioner, to highly experienced sports chiropractor and leader within his profession.
Luke is a sports chiropractor with a special interest in helping people manage running related injuries. He is an active member of the Australian sports rehab and sports medicine world and a strong advocate for evidence-based practice and collaboration between professional groups.
