This is a guest blog by Victoria Lavinskas, a physiotherapist at Totum Life Science in Toronto, Canada. In her practice, Victoria specifically works with executives that spend their off-hours participating in activities such as hiking and running (and ballet!), so we asked her for some tips and must-do exercises.
