Welcome back, friends! If there's a con-ed course, Shaun has taken it. He quickly realized that most weekend courses and certification systems don't do a great job of bridging the gap between the content and high performance. Shaun is passionate about two things when it comes to controversial topics in rehab like the ribcage and respiration: 1) giving it more context and 2) helping clinicians connect the dots between these topics and performance so they don't "throw the baby out with the bath water."

Hi friends! Welcome back. Andy and I have grown up together in the rehab space and have shared many of the same questions over the years so this was a conversation I resonated with and I hope you do as well.
