This SkillBridge position is a full-time, immersive post-professional clinical training experience designed for licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy transitioning from military service into advanced civilian clinical practice. The program focuses on integration of the Camisa Method clinical system, which combines the McGill Method for spine and load management, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), advanced movement and biomechanical assessment, and neurodynamic evaluation and treatment applied across the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems, including spine, upper extremity, lower extremity, and complex multi-joint conditions. Training is delivered under the direct mentorship of Dr. Joseph J. Camisa, PT, DPT, a McGill Method Master Clinician and one of only two physical therapists worldwide to have been granted Master Clinician status by Dr. Stuart McGill. Upon successful completion, participants may be considered for full-time employment.
