Tim has his own story of shoulder issues. As a rugby player and snowboarder, he’s been the recipient of multiple dislocations and two surgeries. This led him on a personal journey of exploring how to develop shoulders he can trust.
He’s passionate about combining his professional and personal experience with existing and emerging tools to recondition and scale upper body performance by respecting the design of the shoulder.
