I trained a female rugby league athlete who was preparing to return to sport after an ACL injury. With professional advice from a physiotherapist, we developed and followed a rehabilitation program including strength, conditioning and agility training.

I was working with spinal cord injury patients. These patients need to learn how to walk, brush their teeth and even clothe themselves all over again, as if they were learning it for the first time. I was working with a young woman who had not been able to walk in 2 years following an accident to her spinal cord. After 6 months of muscle activation for her muscles to be used again, of strengthening her mind-to-body connection and counselling her through the tough stages … she took her first step! Amazing is an understatement, a truly profound moment.
