Why Not?

We all suffer from aches and pains or injuries but who do you go to when this happens? While a lot of people still turn to the doctor for help, physiotherapy is most likely a better option. Today I talk to Clayton Dir, A physiotherapist in Kansas USA all about his philosophies and how he has utilised tiktok to spread this message too.

We speak about how just because you have had pain for a long time, doesn't mean you have to stay like that and how rest is rarely the answer to the problem. We also talk about the reach of tiktok and how you can spread your message all around the world with a single video and the mindblowing capabiltys we have now because of it. 

I highly suggest if you have tiktok that you give Clayton a follow as his page is so informative and has tips for a whole range of different ailments and he is alwasy ahppy to answer questions as he wants to be able to help as many people as possible!

(This is not to discourage you stopping taking it) Today I talk to Sarah Hawkins (round 2 interview prevsiously on #24) on her experience in coming off the pill. While every person is different, there can be side affects when you come off the contraceptive pill, which you may not be aware of.
