Evaluating Evidence and Building a Reliable Resource Web

In this episode The Knowbodies sit down with Dr. Aaron Swanson to talk about how and where to find reliable information via the internet, books, and personal interview.   Aaron Swanson is an orthopedic physical therapist practicing in Asheville, NC.  He started his movement and rehab career as a student Athletic Trainer for the Lady Vols at the University of Tennessee and then went on to obtain his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from New York University.  After graduating, he worked at several privately owned orthopedic physical therapy practices in New York City before relocating to Asheville, NC this past fall.  Aaron currently works in an outpatient clinic in Hendersonville, NC and operates a cash-based physical therapy practice, The A&G; Project, in Asheville with his wife, Gaelyn Rogers.     Aaron runs 2 websites: aaronswansonpt.com, a website for movement professionals and theagmovementproject.com, a health and movement website for the general public.   In addition to learning how to build a reliable network of resources that you can trust for accurate information and continuing education we also touch on some of these gems:   -The patient is the guru -Sometimes admitting that you aren’t the best is the ultimate motivation to continue learning and sharing -Writing is a higher form of thinking. Don’t be afraid to express your ideas and receive criticism. -Evaluating the “intentions” of evidence and articles found when combing through relevant information. -The reading habits of an avid learner: always keeping a paper, a textbook, and a lighter read handy.   Find our more about Aaron Swanson below! www.aaronswansonpt.com (website for movement professionals) The A&G; Project (blog for the general public) Facebook: The A&G; Project Twitter: @ASwansonPT Instagram: @ASwansonPT   Or stay linked with The Knowbodies live: www.Twoknowbodies.com Facebook: The Knowbodies Talking Podcast Twitter: @Twoknowbodies Instagram: @Twoknowbodies   Have a listen to learn more about the resources that Aaron, and The Knowbodies, use to stay motivated, informed, and curious about the world around them.
