Manual therapy vs exercise therapy; progressions and staged criteria in RTP with Selwyn Griffith (Head of Rehabilitation at Brisbane Lions FC)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to head of rehabilitation at the Brisbane Lions in the AFL, Selwyn Griffith. As you can see from Selwyn's Twitter name, his background is osteopathy and as you will hear in the episode, his osteo background plays a huge part in his practice at the Lions. It was fantastic to get someone with a non-traditional background to S&C and hear how his thought process is slightly different to those who have entered the industry through more conventional routes.

In this episode you will learn -
