Bill Vicenzino PhD, MSc, BPhty

Bill's scholarship is focused on musculoskeletal health, pain and injury with an emphasis on sport and physical activity, where there is a need for evidence based approaches to rehabilitation and prevention. Since graduating as a physiotherapist, Bill has worked in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, mainly in private practice. During his time in practice and spurred on through his postgraduate coursework studies in Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (1984, 1990) he developed a particular interest in the underpinning evidence for physical therapies – which ones work, why and how? His PhD focused on mechanisms of spinal manipulative therapy and resulted in publication of an evidenced based theoretical model for this physical treatment. His recent book 'Mobilisation with Movement: The art and the science', which evolved from those early studies, was in the top 10 best sellers at Elsevier Health [Health Professionals Category
