I made sure that we were in a quiet room, our legs were uncrossed, and our elbows were at about a 45 degree angle when taking the following readings for both Cassandra and myself. I also made sure that we did not move or talk while taking the blood pressure readings. The first reading for Cassandra was 106/64. The second one was 100/61 and the third one read as 91/57.

We explored several of the therapeutic methods used commonly in the field of sports medicine. I proposed the question of whether or not she felt these were specific enough and were there important conditions and treatments left out that she...
