We are very proud to announce that a SLU PT alumi, Bryce
Gaunt, recently published the text, “A Systematic Approach to Shoulder Rehabilitation.”
We were able to get a short interview with Bryce, published below:
What year did you
graduate from SLU PT?
I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from
SLU in 1992.
What kind of
physical therapy do you currently practice?
I have worked for HPRC, which is a family-owned private practice,
my entire career in Columbus Georgia. Currently, I am Director of Physical
Therapy at HPRC at St. Francis Rehabilitation Center, and a majority of my time
is spent in patient care. Since 2002, more
than 98% of my patients have been people with orthopaedic shoulder conditions.
I truly love the shoulder and have been blessed to have opportunities to
publish, present, and work closely with exceptional orthopaedic surgeons.
Would you say that
your SLU PT education formed you as a physical therapist in a particular way? If so, how?
SLU PT had a tremendous, positive impact on me. The professors provided an excellent
educational foundation, promoted critical thinking, and challenged me to be my
best. I was also fortunate to be a cheerleader
for 3 years while at SLU, which was an unbelievable experience that helped develop
my personality in addition to being a lot of fun!
What inspired you
to embark on publishing a text?
The project was the vision of both Dr. George McCluskey
III and me. We realized most shoulder
reference books tend to focus on the athlete and may not provide a cohesive
theory of evaluation or rehabilitation. Our vision is to provide an easy-to-implement
systematic evaluation and rehabilitation progression that can be applied to
patients with a broad spectrum of shoulder disorders. We want to help
clinicians improve their shoulder rehabilitation skills.
How can I find out
more information about the book?
