Dr. Maiko Morotani is from Osaka Japan.  As an undergraduate student, she was so inspired by Dr. Susie Deusinger, then director of Program in Physical Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis.  This fateful meeting lead her to pursue her DPT degree from Washington University.  It has been Maiko’s mission to continue learning about the movement system, and to share the knowledge with her Japanese physical therapy community.  She is one of seven Japanese translators of the textbook Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines.  Since 2014, she started Nexus Motion, a continuing education company to primarily help Japanese physical therapists.  Her role has evolved more recently, as Nexus Motion has partnered with Washington University to organize their flagship movement system continuing education courses.  Maiko has taught movement system courses in Japan, US, and was a keynote speaker at the 2023 Asian Confederation of Physical Therapy Congress.  She treats patients with neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions in the Los Angeles area and provides mentoring service to clinicians.
