While studying for his Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy qualifications (Grad Dip Sports Phty - Curtin 1984, MSc - Curtin 1992), he developed a particular interest in the underpinning evidence for physical therapies - which ones work, why and how? His PhD (2000) focused on mechanisms of spinal manipulative therapy and resulted in publication of an evidenced-based theoretical model for this physical treatment. Lately his clinical research has focused on clinical efficacy studies for a range of physical treatments (tape, orthoses, exercise and manipulation) in a number of body regions (elbow, neck, knee). Dr. Vicenzino has communicated findings from his research in more than 70 peer-reviewed publications and in excess of 120 workshops, seminars and conference presentations. He has supervised 6 PhD candidates and 15 Honours students to graduation. Dr. Vicenzino is the co-ordinator for the coursework Master of Sports Physiotherapy program at the University of Queensland and teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate programs in musculoskeletal healthcare, mainly in elbow, lower limb and sports physiotherapy. He contributes to the publication of knowledge through service as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, as a member of the International Editorial Panel for Manual Therapy as well as an ad hoc reviewer to a number of sport and rehabilitation journals.
