SIMPLE CONTACT

The author of over 1200 published essays, Barrett has become the most prolific writer in his profession. His status as a clinician and teacher is such that he has been invited to speak at ten national conventions of the American Physical Therapy Association, and regularly conducts workshops at state chapter meetings and private institutions throughout North America. His workshops on Simple Contact, Simplifying Manual Care and Pain and Performance have been presented in over 300 cities since 1980... His writing has influenced the teaching of manual care in many physical therapy programs where his work is commonly used to emphasize the nature of gentle handling and sound scientific reasoning in the clinic. Barrett recently served as the Prestige Day Speaker for the physical therapy program at Cleveland State University, one of the highest honors accorded in his profession.
