Description

"I find people fascinating: not their environment so much, but how they navigate it. How and why they choose the strategies they need to cope with life's burdens and how different their individual capacity is for work, exercise and stress. How people manage, or don't manage, to override their mind and body's needs through sheer force of will, and how their minds and bodies respond when this ability is lost." Using the story of her life and career, Sue explains why quality of life is so important for both our mental and physical health. Through her professional lens she anticipates the outcomes of pandemic restrictions with horror: knowing that with the criminalisation of activities we need to stay healthy, a secondary pandemic of ill health was sure to follow. This memoir records her experience as a physiotherapist, mum, city resident and small business owner as she witnessed her worst fears become reality.
