"The most severe injury I have witnessed was a patient who broke their neck after being bodychecked during a hockey game. It was shocking to see and fascinating at the same time. I was still training so I did not directly treat this patient; however, I followed the treatment plan closely."

"I had an athlete who fractured his leg in 3 different places after being tackled during a football game. The injury was enough to make anyone's stomach flip. His treatment was long and trying, but he did recover very well over the period of many months."

"The most severe injury that I have come across in my career so far, happened last year. An athlete that I was training tore his ACL during a game. It's a devastating injury for an athlete. We spent the next nine months rehabilitating him after his surgery."
