It's been a fun month replete with travelling for courses, hiking and climbing. Early in the month I visited Chicago and took a fantastic course at Entropy Physiotherapy with Adam Meakins and Erik Miera.

I remember when I first started climbing, there was a girl at the gym doing arm circles and what I've since learned are tendon glides. I remember thinking in my … Continue reading Warming Up

For those that aren't familiar, NEXT is an annual conference put on by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). It is intentionally smaller than … Continue reading #APTANEXT Recap
