I was supposed to be in Australia for six months and that was 18 years ago. I still play ice hockey, so away from work, I’m either at the rink, the gym or the beach.

Even if we cannot have a physical treatment with our favourite therapist we still want to feel that reassurance, comfort and advice from a professional who knows us, who knows our thoughts and feelings as well as our bodily aches and pains.

Call us slaves to the warmer weather, we are certainly rejoicing at the fact that we are waking up with more frequency to sunny skies and the prospect of taking our physical activity outdoors.
