Designed for Physical Therapists

Dr. Sean Wells, PT, DPT, developed these courses to bridge a critical gap in rehabilitation: the lack of practical nutrition training for physical therapists.

Through years of clinical and athletic performance experience, Dr. Wells saw firsthand how nutrition accelerates recovery and improves patient outcomes. Recognizing the APTA’s stance that nutrition is within the PT scope of practice, he has become a leader in the field—optimizing healing and patient education through evidence-based dietary integration.

After seeing clinicians struggle to apply these concepts, he created this structured continuing education pathway specifically for rehabilitation professionals.
