It’s our final podcast for the year, so we thought we’d do a bit of Q&A as well as just cover a number of recent happenings in the BFR and rehab spaces that we’ve participated in or supported. Thanks so much for listening and don’t hesitate to send us questions or topics you’d like to hear us cover.
