Injury Prevention and Pain Relief for Farmers
Farm Ops is excited to host Physical Therapist Brian Westlake, DPT, Cert. MDT at the Clear Path for Veterans venue on Saturday, March 28, 2026 to discuss and demonstrate how farmers can use simple cause-and-effect movement analysis known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® to take control and recover from an injury as rapidly as possible.
Brian grew up working on his grandparent’s farm in Aurelius, New York where he learned first-hand the physical nature of work in agriculture. After becoming a physical therapist, he worked for the Veterans Health Administration for 25 years where he focused on maximizing the health and wellness of the Veterans community. With his retirement from the VA, Brian has taken what he learned from that experience to now focus on maximizing the health and wellness of the agricultural community.
Come join this event to learn how pain relief and injury prevention is possible using the tools on your farm. Veteran and non veteran farmers are invited. Farm partners are welcome to attend but must register separately. Participants must reside in NYS. It is recommended that participants wear clothing appropriate for exercise. Lunch will be provided.
