Today we are delighted to have our guest, Catherine Quinn, with us who is the President of the British Chiropractic Association, a very busy lady with her own chiropractic business. She helps with professional football clubs, she helps with Winter sports international competitors, and she was formerly a world champion in martial arts, so we dip into all these different areas. We talk about concussions and how these are treated/approached, using methods such as SCAT5 (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5) testing.

I went and just thought it was the coolest thing that I had ever seen in my life.” 25:28
