On a personal level, I have suffered through a serious back problem which I believe has given me a greater level of understanding and empathy with back pain sufferers in general. A keen sportswoman and adventurer, I am also empathic with those struggling to return to their activities and have good understanding of the detailed level of rehabilitation required to achieve high level functionality post injury.
