This weeks guest is Dr. Jarred Boyd, head of physical therapy at the Memphis Grizzlies and an expert in critical thinking when it comes to reasoning out rehabilitation.

In this episode, we dive straight into how Jarred uses dynamic systems theory, the theory of affordances and attractor states in his clinical reasoning. We have a post on our instagram page to explain these terms a little more however if you don't have the time and are unfamiliar, ask chatGPT to give you a rundown!

This is an incredible episode that we guarantee you will pick new things up from if you listen back.

Make sure to give Jarred a follow on social media and check out his episodes on other podcast platforms as there is a lot of topics we didn't even attempt to discuss with him already doing such a great job on those! (Forward Physio, E3 Rehab, Rethinking Rehab)
