Physical Therapy in the Space Program

[PToutdoorsman]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any information related to physical therapy positions in the space program. I suppose I am looking for positions involving training for astronauts either pre or post time in space. I have found little information online. I expect that these positions are filled by athletic trainers or CSCS holders but I thought I would look into it.

Thanks,
William

There is a program in Houston that you may be able to find some information about. I know there is at least one AT involved in the program, but I don't know what else about it.. Dr. Yellen is a professor in the University of Houston graduate Athletic Training Education Program who also works in the NASA program.

Here's a cool link about some students from my school involved with NASA research:
