Clinical Case Library

A de-identified collection of clinical case reflections from my practice as a remedial massage therapist and exercise scientist on the Gold Coast.

Each reflection looks at how a person moved, what was assessed and what they reported along the way. They are shared to offer another way of thinking about movement, posture and complex presentations, alongside the care people receive from their GP and other health professionals, not instead of it.
