Growing up in Adelaide in South Australia, Margaret Anderson worked in various other jobs before ending up in physical therapy school. Right away, she noticed that she couldn't quite get the outcomes as higher-levels physical therapists and ended up seeking those skills in Geoff Maitland's program. As she says herself, she struggled more with the clinical reasoning concept than some of the other students and continued to work at mastering it even after graduation.
Fast-forward to today, and Margaret Anderson is perhaps one of the best teachers of orthopedic and manual therapy that there is. She attributes her ability to get through to students to the struggles that she experienced herself. Margaret has been awarded for her teaching and continues to teach in Kaiser's Fellowship program - which she joined in the early years over 35 years ago.

No matter what area of physical therapy you have focused - clinical practice, research, private practice, leadership, or academia - you've probably heard of Tim Flynn.
That's because Tim Flynn, PT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, FAPTA has touched all of those areas of practice - and done so at a high level - something that is extremely rare. He is probably best known for being one of the figureheads of the evidence-based practice movement in physical therapy and for his research on spinal manipulation. But in this interview, you'll hear how Tim managed to do all of that while also starting his own private practice and being elected as the President of AAOMPT. You'll also hear about his passion for clinical practice and vision for the future of physical therapy and healthcare as a whole.

When asked by one of the members of UC Davis' Pain Fellowship what makes him different as a clinician, Tim McGonigle, PT, FAAOMPT replied, "I listen with my heart." Tim grew up with a stutter and later began practicing meditation, which he thinks may have helped him develop an ability to be present with the patient, develop greater compassion, and "use all of his senses" in treatment. The time that Tim has been engaged in patient care has been a while - over 40 years. A longtime partner of Michael Moore (who we interviewed on Season 1, Episode 9) at Folsom Physical Therapy and their long-term program.
In this interview, Tim reflects on his career path being one of the first to undergo a residency in the United States to now being the only US member on the board of the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept and still practicing in the clinic.
