Having the ability to train more often with the required intensities is far more important than having the ability to hit the ball 300m occasionally but have no sustanability within your body. Scott treats with the goal to enhance an individiual’s understanding of their own body mechanics; believing patient education is the key to long-term indepenedent management of a variety of conditions. Scott is a dedicated clinician and is always seeking new treatment outcomes for patients.
