In this powerhouse episode, I sit down with Dr. JJ Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS, c/NDT, CSRS, CEEAA—a trailblazing educator, mentor, and true agent of change in the world of neurologic physical therapy. Dr. Mowder-Tinney is known for her boundless energy, clinical wisdom, and relentless dedication to advancing neuro PT education.
She currently serves as a Professor in the School of Physical Therapy at South College and has dedicated her career to inspiring passion and igniting change among clinicians across the globe.
In our conversation, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood gait impairments: knee hyperextension thrust. We talk through what clinicians often get wrong, what to avoid, and most importantly—how to think critically about this pattern to create meaningful, individualized treatment plans.
Whether you're preparing for the NCS exam or simply want to level up your neuro practice, this episode is full of clinical pearls you don’t want to miss.
