Outside of Physiotherapy, one of Ben's biggest interests is helping not only athletes, but all people to reduce their risk of injury and increase their quality of life! Ben strongly believes the principals of strength and conditioning can be applied to anyone, of any age at any time, to improve their movement, performance and build a robust musculoskeletal frame (muscles and bones) to live longer, better and stronger!
