12.01.2022 As a Physio, I've learnt about the human body; the way it moves, how injuries arise and how to manage them. As a competitive athlete, I've experienced how to best manage injuries to continue competing to the best of my abilities and have dealt with the disappointment of not being able to perform at my full capacity. I've learnt the hard way about what it takes, and how quickly it can be taken away. Unless you've experienced it, you can't fully understand it.

If we lack trunk strength and mobility, the excessive stress is placed on other structures involved in that movement. Over time, this can lead to overload injuries or strains! This is not just for athletes, this applies for daily jobs or activities where twisting is involved! Feel free to contact us with any questions
