The Heart - Tim McGonigle

June 04, 2022 • The Movement Brainery • Season 2 • Episode 4

When asked by one of the members of UC Davis' Pain Fellowship what makes him different as a clinician, Tim McGonigle, PT, FAAOMPT replied, "I listen with my heart." Tim grew up with a stutter and later began practicing meditation, which he thinks may have helped him develop an ability to be present with the patient, develop greater compassion, and "use all of his senses" in treatment. The time that Tim has been engaged in patient care has been a while - over 40 years. A longtime partner of Michael Moore (who we interviewed on Season 1, Episode 9) at Folsom Physical Therapy and their long-term program.

In this interview, Tim reflects on his career path being one of the first to undergo a residency in the United States to now being the only US member on the board of the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept and still practicing in the clinic.
