I first met Martin at a conference where he was presenting on client/athlete mechanical assessments. The simplicity that Martin is able to bring things down too is amazing and why I ended up working with him for 7 years. With all the noise around injury prevention and what we should do, we wanted to cut through it with one of the leading experts in this field. Martin goes into a lot of depth of how he created the paradigm around assessing and tracking patients and where that journey took him.
