Finally injuries explained in the NFL by a PT


For most people, a long week is concluded with a much needed weekend and a full Sunday of football. For one physical therapist, Sunday is gameday for her as well. Stephania Bell is the key injury analyst for ESPN football. I was able to catch an interview that she gave on Aaron Rogers shoulder, which I was curious about since the initial injury.


Here is a little history on Stephania...
Stephania is a physical therapist who is a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. An avid fantasy player, Stephania spent the past two years as a fantasy injury analyst at Rotowire.com and appeared weekly on XM Radio's fantasy sports show.

She is a clinician, author and teacher with extensive experience in the area of orthopedic manual therapy and sports medicine who practices in the Bay Area. Her primary patient population consists of athletes and performing artists ranging from junior high school to professional.

Stephania has her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and roots for the Tigers.

She received her Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Miami (Fla.) and roots for the Hurricanes.

She held a teaching position at the University of Kansas for five years and roots for the Jayhawks.

She is from San Francisco and roots shamelessly for the 49ers and the Giants (through the good and the bad).


She did a very good job representing the profession and promoting it. Keep up the good work Stephania. Here is a quick link to her blog on ESPN.
