Two posts tied 2^ndplace this month. These were:

Renee Trevarthen’s client demonstrated shoulder rehab exercises that she’d provided him. The exercises go beyond the typical shoulder rotation, pulling and pushing ( 1 dimension) exercises and challenge scapula stability dynamically. See the rest here.

Anthony Yen showed us his 2 favourites to relieve tension around the neck and shoulders. See them both here.

Focus Areas for May

Each week via our Team Meetings and Roundtables, we discuss what the biggest areas are which we’re going to focus on and improve as a company. This month we looked at:

Increasing the amount of exercise occurring in video conference (remote) programs. Customers often want to use these remote sessions as check-ins only so we strategised on how to continue encouraging exercise during these video sessions
Minimising cancellations. How to increase adherence and commitment to our programs.
Continuing to update and problem solve with Insurers and Rehab Providers regarding relevant changes in our programs – i.e. program adherence, upgrades or barriers encountered.
