He hopes Grow Physio will provide a real representation and valuable educational platform that shares his experiences, designed as a resource that he wishes had been available to him. The intention is to draw upon his expertise to provide a strong foundation that stimulates individuals to generate their own ideas, get creative and progress with consistent & positive outcomes.

• The aims, principles & planning of rehabilitation.
• Injury predisposition: the training errors & variables.

• Progressive & functional loading.
• Preparing athletes to run again.

The talk from Steve will last around 30 – 40 minutes followed by time for questions and answers.
