About the Instructor
Built by a Physical Therapist
Dr. Sean Wells, PT, DPT, developed these courses after recognizing a critical gap in traditional physical therapy education — the lack of practical nutrition training in rehabilitation.
Through years of clinical experience and work in athletic performance, he saw how integrating nutrition into treatment plans led to meaningful improvements in patient outcomes, recovery timelines, and overall health.
After working with students, interns, and clinicians who lacked confidence in applying nutrition concepts, he developed a structured, evidence-based continuing education pathway designed specifically for rehabilitation professionals.
