SPECIALIST PHYSIOTHERAPIST & LECTURER
Paul Visentini is a Specialist Sports Physiotherapist, with his awarded sub-speciality in the area of lower limb tendinopathy. He completed post graduate studies in Manipulative Physiotherapy in 1994, and designed the
VISA Score, a widely used functional outcome measure for Patellar Tendinopathy.
Paul is a keen recreational cyclist and is highly involved in teaching and management in the area of Bike Set-Up and ‘Mastering Load’. He has been involved in Cycling Injury Management at both elite and recreational level, having consulted to the AIS in Varese, Italy; and is completing his Doctorate in Physiotherapy, investigating Clinical Measures of the Closed Kinetic Chain in Cycling.
Paul is a leading clinician in Melbourne, Australia, and has a passion for cycling injury management, the evidence base involved, and the clinical reasoning process required to achieve the best result.
The ‘Science Of Cycling Injury Prevention’ is a platform for the education of Cycling Injury Practitioners world-wide, and the associated course has now been presented by Paul in both within Australia and internationally.
