”As a Trainer who works with professional athletes, I don’t have the luxury of telling my professional athlete to “sit out this game.” It is my job to keep the athlete mobile, agile and functional. I use this same approach for all of my clients. I do not believe in “sitting out of life.” Most of my clients who are in pain have been told to “stop moving.” I suggest that there may be a better way to approach pain and movement. We will give you strategies that will keep you in the game!” –Mary
