i found nemo!

today was such a busy day! we began the day at ten with a lecture by dr. jenny mcconnell from mcconnell taping. for those of you who do not know what that is, mcconnell tape is a type of tape that is used in the inhibition, stabilization, and realignment of different joints. she spoke with us about different types of knee pain with a focus on the misdiagnose of fat pad syndrome. we were able to evaluate one of the girls in the program and it was really interesting to see the different exercises that dr. mcconnell had. next we had a talk by rosalba courtney on dysfunctional breathing. she spoke on why there was a correlation between dysfunctional breathing and back pain and different types of dysfunctional breathing. she also touch briefly on how to tell someone has dysfunctional breathing and ways to help fix that. after that a group of us took the ferry to darling harbour to visit the sydney aquarium. i had so much fun! haha. the ferry ride in of itself was pretty amazing. we got a really nice view of the sydney opera house, the sydney bridge, and the luna park. at the aquarium there were a TON of fish (i suppose that makes sense though, haha) we also saw sharks, penguins, crabs, and sea horses. it was actually really surprising how big the whole exhibit was. i think it ended up taking us a few hours to complete. we ended up getting dinner in darling harbour because of that, haha. vivid sydney starts tomorrow and i can't wait! <3
