Bio
Hi my name is Paul Ellington and I'm a Physical Therapist by trade and entrepreneur at heart. I have been a practicing physical therapist for 6 years, started multiple businesses, and never stopped learning after finishing school. I published research during my DPT program and went on to become a board certified specialist in orthopedics. I'm also a certified health coach and believe in approaching every patient with a holistic approach since diet, exercise, sleep, and wellness are all interconnected. In my free time I love spending time outside whether it be hiking, camping, biking, surfing, snowboarding, or just lounging in my hammock reading a book. I love live music and always have a song stuck in my head!Project ideas
Exercise and Happiness
We could explore the relationship between people who meet the AHA (American Heart Association) exercise recommendation's and their overall happiness vs. those who are more sedentary. This could be written as a research paper or be a presentation.
Mobility and Pain
I hypothesize that if you took a random population through a mobility screen, you would find those who are at an acceptable level mobility wouldn't have as much day to day pain as those who are stiff and sedentary. We could explore this hypothesis with you leading the research. This could be written as a research article or be a presentation.
Business and Personal Finance
I would like to explore the relationship personal finance (financial literacy) and a person's desire to work in the business field, whether as an entrepreneur or business related career field. This could be a presentation/lecture on the importance of financial literacy or could be written as an essay.
