Join Steve for a conversation with Laura Iverson-von Wullerstorf, internationally recognized physical therapist residing in Belgium. Laura is a dear friend of Steve's who first met years ago while on her clinical rotation in his physical therapy clinic in Spokane, Washington. About Laura, Steve says, "I can best summarize the passion Laura had for our profession when my colleague Gale Anderson had completed his mentoring of Laura in first half of her rotation to be followed by me as Laura’s clinical instructor. Gale gave me fair warning when he shared, 'Get ready: Laura is unrelenting in questions and curiosity!' That was so very true then as it is now.
