What a great article… Totally embrace your thoughts and philosophy. Have been an evolving practitioner for 15 years now and still passionate about assisting active people become pain free etc. Have only recently found FMS so have a lot still to learn. Just taking one day at a time. Love to learn from people like yourself should there ever be an opportunity to work in La Jolla. Funny but I was only there on holiday a month or so ago. I have extensive soft tissue therapy, sports medicine knowledge and experience that includes the NZ All Blacks, Australian Swimming as well as international golf, tennis, surfing and dance athletes. Happy to forward my CV if you could utilise my expertise? Regards Penny Will
