ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Writing a book is not a light undertaking. From concept through to completion, it is a deceptively large and complex process. However, it certainly has its rewards. Those rewards must be shared amongst a team of people who contributed to making this book happen.

Foremost, I want to acknowledge my closest friend and beautiful wife Paulina. And further to this, our three adorable sons Lachlan, Sebastian and Morgan, to whom we are totally devoted.

A special thank you to Ann and Terry (my parents), Raul and Nellie (my parents-in-law) and our close-knit extended family for their constant support, love and encouragement.

On a commercial note, I’d like to formally acknowledge Darren Stephens and the people at Global Publishing Group who together make up a professional team of proof readers, editors, typesetters, copywriters and publishers. Their expertise and insight opened my eyes to what was achievable and helped ensure this book was an instant success. Thanks for giving me this incredible opportunity.

I also appreciate the tireless efforts of Sue Publicover, Jodi Powell, Natalie Whittington and Clarisse Chaproniere in collectively assisting with the management of different milestones throughout the entirety of this project. They served at the less glamorous ‘grass-roots’ level in bringing the book to life. I am also indebted to Brad Beer, Max Kavanagh and Steve Whittington for their patience in reviewing my entire manuscript for ‘sense and relevance’. The three of you were indispensable in the process.

In addition to this team, I’m also thankful to Don Elgin, David Harry, Jeremy Kestenberg, Paul Linton, Rainer Maier, Peter Selvaratnam, Murray Seaton, David Spithill, Philip Vasyli and Brooke Williams who assisted me with research and content development in their related areas of expertise.

Thank you Raul Echeverria for selflessly illustrating all of the unique diagrams that populate these pages and doing so with a speed and talent that exceeded my expectations.

My own personal development is hugely indebted to the hours of mentorship, guidance and wisdom provided me by Michael Magyar, John Dwight and David McCracken.

Professionally, the Back In Motion Health Group has become the great icon of physiotherapy excellence only through the dedication and expertise of our people. In particular I’d like to thank my senior management team for their enduring efforts. It’s also the vision, energy and passion of every Practice Director (Franchisee) that has enabled us to realise our success. And behind them is the loyal army of employed physiotherapists and support staff across the country. Collectively, their work ethic and passion for our brand have inspired the framework and writing for this book.

Ultimately, as in everything I do, I write to honour God and acknowledge Him as the source of life. I want to hear His call clearly, and obey boldly.
