about us
I am a Lecturer in the Department of Physical Therapy, School of Allied Health Sciences, University of Phayao. My clinical and research interests focus on the assessment and rehabilitation of neck pain, particularly in relation to scapular dysfunction. I have experience providing evidence-based recommendations for managing patients with these conditions. My PhD research explored the relevance of scapular dysfunction in individuals with neck pain, including its impact on clinical features, movement patterns, and muscle activity. I continue to pursue research in this area to support improved clinical outcomes.
