Thanks so much to the North Mac football team for having me come talk today on functional movement. It was awesome to work with an entire room filled with athletes diligently working to hone their craft. Can’t wait to work together more soon!

I used to think being a good physio was knowing where to push and how hard and for how long! I then thought it was knowing the best exercises to use! However, I’ve realised what makes a good physio is how they interact and support people in pain and distress that matters more!
