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 experience and work in athletic performance, he saw how integrating nutrition into treatment plans led to meaningful improvements in patient outcomes, recovery timelines, and overall health.
After working with students, interns, and clinicians who lacked confidence in applying nutrition concepts, he developed a structured, evidence-based continuing education pathway designed specifically for rehabilitation professionals.
