Karla Leong (@karlameagan) is an athletic therapist treating out of Eikonic Health (@eikonichealth) (https://www.eikonichealth.ca/) in Woodbridge, Ontario.

Karla treated me during my knee surgeries and is the best manual therapist I've ever met. She changed and shaped the way I think about health, fitness, and as an extension, life overall.

Karla takes a very holistic approach to fitness and injury rehabilitation. It's not just about putting band-aids on injuries, but moreso about how to return to play, or life, BETTER than before.

In the episode we spoke about Karla's general approach to treating injuries and how the overall approach is the same for athletes as well as the general population.

We spoke about some strategies we might use in returning to the gym or to the playing field once the pandemic is over.

We explored the concept of exercise as a great way to have "me" time and how it helps you be the best version of yourself, so that you can give the most of yourself to everyone around you.

We even touched on the subject of body image and what are true motivators for improving your fitness and health.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as there is so much to take from it.
