After looking into a few different paths to care for athletes, chiropractic stood out. “I was primarily between physiotherapy (physical therapy) and chiropractic, but I liked the scope of practice for chiropractic better,” Tynan said. “Palmer has a good track record and there are actually a lot of Palmer graduates in the Calgary area that highly recommended it to me.”
Tough or not, the feeling of disappointment and grief was inevitable last summer when the Games of the XXXII Olympiad were postponed due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The decision meant that professional athletes would need to spend another year focusing on their performance and health, and pushing their bodies and minds for longer periods of time in order to realize their dream of participating in an Olympic Games event.
“It’s a cool moment when they call you to be a part of the Olympic games,” said Williams. “Someone who puts together teams of the highest caliber thinks that you’re at this level, and that your ability can help them win.”
