In this special episode of The EFM Health Club Podcast, we’re joined by world-renowned physiotherapist and performance coach Tom Swales — founder of the Advanced Movement Therapist (AMT) Certification and one of the most forward-thinking voices in rehabilitation and human performance.
Tom shares how his nervous-system-first approach to assessment and treatment is transforming how physiotherapists, coaches, and personal trainers understand movement, pain, and performance. By focusing on how the brain and body communicate, Tom’s system helps practitioners go beyond symptoms to uncover the real causes of dysfunction and unlock lasting results.
💡 In this episode, we discuss:
- Why starting with the nervous system changes everything in rehab and training
- The difference between movement quantity and movement quality
- How to identify and correct muscle misalignment through better assessment
- What every trainer and physio can learn from Tom’s AMT system
Whether you work in physiotherapy, coaching, or just want to understand your body better, this is an episode packed with insights that bridge science and practical application.
