About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHORThomas K. Ockler P.T. received his Bachelors of Sciencediploma in Physical Therapy from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1978. After moving to Ohio that same year to begin practice, hesoon became quite disenfranchised with what he witnessed in hospital basedhealth care. After those veryconflicted years he resigned his administrative position and set out on his ownto begin searching for alternatives to conventional physical therapy, as wellas conventional mainstream health care protocols and preventative techniques to prolong our lives, and extend our"thrife" expectancy...how long we will thrive.His search for a better health care "mousetrap"has taken him all over the world, teaching in Australia,the United Kingdom, Canada, and throughout the United States of America.In his 29year journey of clinical practice and discovery, Tom has brought forthcommon sense approaches to reversing our personal health death spirals,while teaching them inunderstandable and often humorous ways. His teaching methods and writing style has prompted some of his studentsand patients to give him the nick-name of "The Patch Adams" of PhysicalTherapy. He remains, to this day, ahighly sought after international presenter and continues to teach seminarsutilizing his techniques to eliminate musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, aswell as the emotional / energetic factors which accompany them.In 1999, facing what was described by his peers as certainfailure, Tom founded and opened Alternative HealthCare Solutions; a physicaltherapy practice designedto attract patients with the most difficult and stubborn physical issues and to correct thoseissues in rapid order. Tom's practice draws patients from all overthe USA as well as Canada and Europe. For information about Alternative HealthCare Solutions,please visit www.tomocklerpt.com
