💭” We don't typically get athletes back quicker by introducing eccentric loading earlier, but we do make them stronger and possibly improve their capacity to withstand damage’’ - Dr. Ryan Timmins
Our guest, Dr. Ryan Timmins PT, Ph.D is an Associate Professor at the Australian Catholic University (Brisbane).
