About Joshua Long
- He is fascinated by how the body can both work and experience dysfunction and tries to cultivate a similar passion in his students. A big fan of case scenarios, Mr. Long challenges students to explain the “why” in their clinical decision-making. He is intrigued by the potential value in neuromuscular “prehab” and the how psychosocial considerations impact musculoskeletal performance.
