More on Dr. George Davies
George J. Davies, DPT, MEd, PT, SCS, ATC, LAT, CSCS, PES, CES, CSMS, FAPTA is an internationally known speaker who has presented in hundreds of conferences throughout the world on sports physical therapy, athletic training, shoulder, knee, open and closed kinetic chain topics, orthopaedics, rehabilitation and Isokinetics. Davies is a clinician, educator, speaker, researcher, author, editor and consultant. He has been involved in the clinical practice of sports physical therapy/athletic training since he was a student athletic trainer, for over 55 years.
He has a passion for teaching and has been an educator for over 48 years in colleges and universities. For the past 45 years, he has been involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate physical therapy courses including: cadaver anatomy, biomechanics, evidence-based practice, sports physical therapy, orthopaedics, and examination courses. Because Davies values education, after 30 years, he returned to school and completed his post-professional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) at MGH Institute of Health Professions and graduated with highest honors.
One of the reasons Davies is involved in sports physical therapy is because the former U.S. Marine Corps Veteran from 50 years ago also likes to think he is an occasional athlete by participating in: running (over 35 years)/ElliptiGo Training, marathons (sub-3 hours), ultra- marathons, triathlons , iron-man triathlon, and weight training. Davies has also been involved in the martial arts for over 25 years. He holds a Black Belt in Karate and has been a Sensei (teacher) of Karate. He has also achieved the status as a certified Specialist in Martial Arts Conditioning (SMAC) of which there are very few in the United States. However, one of the accomplishments he is most proud of is that he is also a cancer survivor and continues to participate in some of the above activities.
