ATW physios Jan, Phillip, Josy and Janina get to grips with a common but often underestimated injury. As both competitive athletes and qualified physios, they offer some recommendations on the best ways to achieve a full recovery. Stay tuned!

ATW physios Sebastian, Arthur and Raphael take a look at posture. If you'd like to catch up on the references to which they refer in this podcast, the following links may be useful:

In this episode, ATW physios Valeria, Anne and Sharif look at the effects of a positive mental attitude and how this attitude influences the therapy with the patient. How can the positive attitude of either patient or therapist help to relieve the pain?
