Keep on running...

I had an amazing experience with a patient months ago in Victoria. This young college-aged woman was training for the Goodlife Victoria 1/2 marathon and unfortunately when she was out celebrating a friends birthday weeks before the race she rolled her ankle. The sprained ankle was devestating to the young woman who had worked so hard to achieve her goals in the race.

When she came to me we set a direct focussed plan of therapy and with a combination of manual therapy, ultrasound, exercise and hot/cold therapy we were able to rehabilitate her sprained ankle. I didn't attend the race, but was quite happy to see online that she had finished second in her age category. This is why we do what we do, to help our patients do what they do!!!
