Work With Me

There are a number of ways that you can work with me, either on an individual, group, or community basis.

The Besselink Project

The Besselink Project is an initiative focusing on individual and community self-transformation via health mentoring, adaptive learning experiences, and self-mastery. All of these programs and services reflect my desire to mentor individuals and groups in how science-based principles apply to their health, their training, and their day-to-day lives to foster growth and personal transformation. A consistent theme of the Besselink Project is the development of Competencies of Self Care.

The Besselink Project encompasses several services and programs:

Smart Sport International - Physiotherapy and Coaching

Smart Sport International is a Certified McKenzie Clinic offering orthopedic physiotherapy services specializing in injury recovery utilizing Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), otherwise known as the McKenzie Method. Smart Sport International specializes in the problems of the runner (RunSmart) and musician (RiffSmart) with health mentoring services emphasizing performance and injury prevention.

Smart Physio - Clinician Mentorship And Mastery Programs

I am one of the few McKenzie Diplomats in the world that have focused specifically on sports injuries. Not only do I continue to work directly in patient care, but I also provide various clinical mentorship and mastery programs for other clinicians in the area of MDT and sports. These programs focus on professional development in practice-specific areas (such as running injuries and MDT and the Athlete) as well as career planning for new graduates and established clinicians.

RunSmart - A Comprehensive Approach To Injury-Free Running

"RunSmart: A Comprehensive Approach To Injury-Free Running" (2008) is the basis for several educational programs for recreational and elite athletes as well as clinicians (including physiotherapists). A subset of free resources for injured runners can be found here.

Speaking

Speaking - Public Speaking And Keynotes

I have done a broad range of speaking engagements, from small groups to large international conferences. A full list of speaking topics, along with prior speaking engagements, can be found here.

Consulting - Consulting/Intensives

Books

Writer - Author And Freelance Writing

Along with writing regular posts for my blog, I am also the author of "RunSmart: A Comprehensive Approach To Injury-Free Running" (2008). I have a number of writing projects currently in progress, including "The Smart Life Revolution".

More information in my freelance writing and editorial work can be found in the section on "Writing". I have written articles for many groups and publications including the Austin Runner's Club, McKenzie Institute International, National Masters News, and others. I recently co-authored a chapter in the 3rd edition of "Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation" by Brotzman and Manske (with Bridget Clark, PT). This orthopaedic text is the number one selling orthopaedic text for physical therapists worldwide.
