In this episode, Professor Rob Orr explores the unique assessment and treatment methods for 'tactical athletes', referring to military, police, firefighters, and nursing populations. We delve into their distinct physical, social, and mental demands, and the significant ramifications of injury, re-injury, or improper rehabilitation within this specific group.
