It is a great feeling for our clients and ourselves as Athletic Therapists when we are able to discharge a client. We can remember you hobbling in on day one, potentially from a fresh acute ankle sprain, perhaps from 5 years of nagging back pain that started causing nerve symptoms…

Gettin’ on my Nerves!

The nervous system is an interesting interconnected system. Even though our injuries may not present with the normal burning and tingling sensations that generally stem from a nerve injury there can still be a restriction.

   Competitive Edge

So we have a little secret to tell you. We try to be patient. We try to re-explain and simplify. We try to be polite and not correct you too often.

The Importance of Doing Your Exercises

   Competitive Edge

As humans, we are all creature of habits. We like to build our schedules around our favourite/ necessary activities or we like eating at the same restaurants or if you’re anything like me, you like having the same hot drink every morning.
