Trauma Informed Physical Therapy
Coming Fall 2026!
TIPT addresses the gap where traditional physical therapy education often lacks deep integration of neurophysiology and trauma science necessary for complex chronic pain cases.
It bridges this by providing clinicians with mechanism-based reasoning and practical tools to foster patient safety and nervous system regulation in practice.
