ESPT Director Published In National PT Magazine

ESPT's Director, Jacon C. Chun, MPT, SCS, ATC, CSCS, had an article published in the most recent issue of ADVANCE for Physical Therapy and Rehab Medicine. ADVANCE is a national publication for physical therapists highlighting new advances in technology, current trends in rehabilitation, and job openings available for PT's and PT assistants.

"It was a pleasure working with the ADVANCE editorial staff," says Jacon, the only Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist in the East Bay. "They made it so easy to share clinical knowledge in their magazine. I hope other PT's and the public will see how far PT has advanced (no pun intended)."

Physical therapy is no longer just about ultrasound, massage, exercise, and electrical stimulation. A good therapist is not just an "exercise technician" or the extension of an MD. True physical therapists can evaluate and treat any musculoskeletal disorder, using current evidence and theory to support their rationales.

"I get disappointed when I see people come in after receiving 'physical therapy' from other clinics," says Jacon, "What they are getting is so archaic. The profession has come so far it's sad some clinicians are holding us back."

The article in ADVANCE highlights new technology that clinicians are using in rehabilitation, specifically an Anti-Gravity Treadmill that helps progressively load patients to help restore their lower extremity strength and normalize gait mechanics. Jacon hopes to bring the first one to the Fremont area later this year.

"Physical therapy in the 21st century is so much more. I hope that everyone gets the chance to experience what good clinicians with cutting-edge technology can do," states Jacon.

If you want to experience the level of care that professional athletes receive, don't hesitate to call ESPT for your appointment. With offices in Dublin (925.452.4656) and Fremont (510.656.3777), ESPT is looking forward to serving your rehabilitative needs.

Few physical therapy clinics in the Fremont or Dublin areas could probably claim they serve this caliber of athlete. This a true testament to ESPT's commitment to providing the best physical therapy care possible. Nobody combines clinical excellence, first-class customer service, and cutting-edge technology like ESPT.

"I’m very fortunate to have Jacon on my side as I continue about this journey of mine!," says Sho on his website. And we are very honored to be working with Sho at ESPT.

With one of the few Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialists in the Bay Area available to the public, ESPT should be your #1 choice for sports and orthopedic rehabilitation.
