Summary

As a physiotherapist student, I have acquired the skills necessary for assessing and prescribing exercises suited to achieving a client's goals. I find myself looking at the body as a whole and targeting the root cause for a client's symptomatic area to both restore function and prevent the problem from re-emerging.
