Sean P. Riley's work focuses on evaluating the quality and trustworthiness of research evidence in musculoskeletal physical therapy, particularly manual therapy, shoulder and spine dysfunction, and pain management. Much of this research involves systematic reviews and methodological critiques that examine whether clinical trials in physiotherapy are reliable enough to guide patient care. He has also contributed to broader evidence reviews in areas like alcohol use disorder screening and treatment, and diabetes and eating disorder screening, often published in high-profile medical journals.
