I direct them to Pavel’s work to assist in programming therapeutic and performance-enhancing exercises achieved with the minimal yet optimal dose. These approaches work. I am a better individual in terms of personal resilience and performance integrating the insights from this book, a better consultant to patients, and a better person for knowing Pavel.
