MEDIA
I am passionate about physical therapy and I make continued learning a priority for my development as a clinician.
My instagram not only encourages me to learn more, but it also allows me to educate others in the social media community. I am fortunate enough to have gained over 280,000 followers and I intend on continuing to provide educational content to positively impact this field.
I’ve been privileged to be featured in these podcasts to discuss my philosophies on ACL rehab.
Show Your Scars Podcast with Jordan Angeli founder of The ACL Club
- “Wesley Wang, PT, DPT joins the podcast today talking about his journey from economics major to physical therapist.
- How tearing his ACL changed the trajectory of his life and he realized what really mattered to him. His belief that everything happens for a reason and the benefits of that mindset when he was rehabbing and now.
- We also talk about his physical therapy and sports performance gym in Rockville, MD. His approach to injury rehab and full recovery, and how he uses research and education to drive his actions.”
