The Role of Sports Medicine in Injury Prevention and Recovery

Sports medicine is a crucial field dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating sports-related injuries. It plays a vital role in keeping athletes at peak performance levels while minimizing the risk of injuries. Whether dealing with professional sports teams, amateur athletes, or individuals engaging in recreational activities, sports medicine professionals ensure optimal physical health and swift injury recovery.

The Reassuring Role of Sports Medicine in Injury Prevention

Biomechanical Analysis and Movement Assessment

Through biomechanical analysis, sports medicine specialists can identify movement patterns that may predispose athletes to injuries. Professionals can recommend personalized adjustments to enhance performance and reduce strain on vulnerable body parts by assessing an individual's running gait, posture, and joint movements.

2. Strength and Conditioning Programs

A well-structured strength and conditioning program is fundamental in sports medicine. These programs target muscle imbalances, enhance flexibility, and improve endurance, ultimately reducing the likelihood of injuries. Strength training fortifies muscles and stabilizes joints, which is crucial for preventing ligament and tendon injuries.

3. Proper Warm-Up and Cool-Down Techniques

Warm-up and cool-down routines are essential components of injury prevention. Dynamic stretching, light cardiovascular exercises, and mobility drills before intense activities prepare the body for exertion, minimizing the risk of strains and sprains. Likewise, cool-down routines help in muscle recovery, reducing post-exercise soreness and stiffness.

4. Sports-Specific Training and Injury Prevention Strategies

Every sport has unique physical demands. A basketball player requires explosive movements, while a long-distance runner needs endurance and efficient biomechanics. Sports medicine specialists design sport-specific training plans focusing on the necessary muscle groups, reducing unnecessary strain and preventing overuse injuries.

5. Nutrition and Hydration for Injury Prevention

Proper nutrition and hydration play a crucial role in preventing injuries. Dehydration can lead to muscle cramps, reduced coordination, and increased fatigue, heightening the risk of injuries. Consuming the right macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals balance enhances muscle recovery and maintains optimal energy levels.

The Role of Sports Medicine in Injury Recovery

1. Immediate First Aid and Acute Injury Management

The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a widely used approach to manage acute sports injuries. It involves resting the injured area, applying ice to reduce swelling and pain, using compression to limit swelling, and elevating the injured area to reduce swelling. This method helps minimize swelling, reduce pain, and promote faster healing. In more severe cases, Phoenix sports medicine professionals may use additional interventions like immobilization, taping, or bracing.

2. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Programs

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring function after an injury. Physical therapists develop tailored rehabilitation programs incorporating therapeutic exercises, stretching, and progressive strength training. These programs aim to regain flexibility, enhance muscular strength, and ensure a safe return to sports activities.

3. Advanced Treatment Techniques in Sports Medicine

Sports medicine utilizes advanced treatment modalities to accelerate recovery. Some of the most effective techniques include:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Therapy – Uses concentrated platelets from the athlete’s blood to promote tissue healing.

Shockwave Therapy – Stimulates cell regeneration and speeds up recovery from tendon and ligament injuries.

Cryotherapy and Hydrotherapy – Help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness post-injury.

Electrical Stimulation (TENS & EMS) – Enhances muscle activation and reduces pain during rehabilitation.

4. Psychological Support and Mental Health in Injury Recovery

An injury can be a mentally challenging experience for an athlete. Sports Medicine Doctors play a crucial role in helping athletes cope with setbacks, reduce anxiety, and maintain a positive mindset throughout recovery. They use techniques like goal-setting, visualization, and relaxation to enhance rehabilitation and ensure that the athlete's mental health is as well cared for as their physical health.

Preventing Re-Injury and Ensuring Long-Term Health Maintenance

1. Functional Movement Screening (FMS)

Once an athlete recovers, Functional Movement Screening (FMS) evaluates movement patterns and detects residual weaknesses. Professionals develop preventive strategies to ensure long-term health by identifying areas prone to re-injury.

2. Return-to-Sport Criteria

Before an athlete resumes the entire competition, they must meet specific return-to-sport criteria. This includes:

Full pain-free range of motion in the affected area.

Restoration of muscle strength, balance, and coordination.

Completion of progressive sport-specific drills without discomfort.

3. Regular Monitoring and Injury Prevention Education

Athletes are empowered through ongoing assessments and education on injury prevention. Implementing regular screenings, continued strength training, and periodic biomechanical evaluations significantly reduce the likelihood of future injuries, ensuring athletes are well-informed and proactive in their health.

Conclusion

Sports medicine plays an indispensable role in both injury prevention and recovery. Through advanced training methods, specialized rehabilitation programs, and cutting-edge treatment modalities, sports medicine professionals help athletes stay in peak condition, recover efficiently, and minimize the risk of future injuries. Incorporating sports medicine strategies into an athlete's routine can enhance performance, sports longevity, and overall better health.

Hysteria (Yandere Marco x Reader, Victorian AU, DARK, non-con)

Summary: Marco "The Phoenix" Newgate is intent on making you his wife, regardless of what you think about the matter.

TW: Dark, DEAD DOVE, non con, yandere, misogyny, bad medicine / malpractice. There will be more partners but not in this chapter.

A continuation of a One Shot I wrote - couldn't stop thinking about Victorian Marco. There's also this sexy Detective Marco statue that didn't help me forget Victorian Marco.

“Dear, do be serious for a moment. You already said yes ,” you mother hissed into her teacup while sporting a smile, trying to hide her words from your suitor. Doctor Newgate, or Marco as he asked you to call him, had a benign smile on his face and his eyes half lidded. He was sitting on the settee in your parents parlor, his long legs crossed as he drank his tea. Even though you were sure he could hear, he was granting your parents the social mercy of pretending he couldn’t. 

Mr. Newgate, his father, was sitting in the largest chair in the parlor, smoking a pipe like he was relaxing in his own home. He hadn’t said anything beyond an introduction, allowing Marco to take the lead. He was easily the largest man you’d ever seen in your life, his mere presence making the room seem smaller by comparison. Even though it was your parents house, with Newgate in the room it was like it was his world and you were just living in it. Mr. Newgate hadn’t given you more than a nod but he unnerved you. Not like Marco who scared you, more like the feeling one got when staring at a mountain or the ocean - the feeling of insignificance in the face of something ancient and powerful. 

“Please, give us a moment to speak to our daughter in private. She is joking, you know how these silly young women are,” your father said with a nervous laugh, his hand clapping heavily on your shoulder and gripping tightly. You tried to hide your wince as his hand squeezed bruises already left behind due to your previous refusals. Marco’s eyebrow raised pointedly at your father’s aggression, making your father pale and release his hand from your shoulder. “With your permission of course, Dr. Newgate,” your father stammered as Marco exchanged a glance with his father, who nodded wordlessly. Some kind of communication had passed between them but you didn’t understand what it was. You did feel some sense of satisfaction watching your father wither under Dr. Newgate’s gaze but you knew it wouldn’t save you from the lecture - or worse - you were about to receive in private.

Your father and mother were ultimately selfish, self centered people. Even though you’d told them time and time again that you didn’t like Marco Newgate and that you didn’t want to marry him, they were forcing your hand. They wanted you to marry into wealth and a connected family which would increase their own social standing. You had adamantly refused to marry him and they couldn’t legally force you unless you were declared incompetent in some kind of way. Yes, he was trying to coerce you by force but without a diagnosis of some kind of insanity, you just had to stay strong and refuse. Since you were a woman of society, you didn’t see how that would be possible. You had friends, kept up with the local social scene, and even volunteered in your free time and as such you were able to reject any offer for marriage that you deemed unsatisfactory. And Marco Newgate was unsatisfactory to your tastes.

It was true that he was tall, handsome, wealthy and very intelligent. He was able to move among all echelons of society with ease, switching from speaking casually with tavern goers to speaking with the Emperor himself as a medical advisor on occasion. He was debonair, suave, charming - everything everyone wanted to be. Your girlfriends told you that you were the world's biggest fool for denying his advances.

But you knew that all the glamour and prestige, Marco was a predatory beast. You knew it with all your heart. It felt like no one could see it but you, everyone sang his praises and tittered with joy when he came around. His eyes shined a touch too bright, his smile a bit too wide, his teeth a tad too sharp to convince you of his character of the charismatic doctor. It was like a game to him - he knew that you knew and both of you had your roles to play.  

Your parents thought you’d met Marco for the first time when he began courting you, but the truth was that you’d met long before as young adults. You’d been strolling along a country stream one day after having given your governess the slip. Normally you didn’t mind your lessons all that much but the day had been the perfect summer day, the warm sun shining down as a light breeze pushed your hair out of your face. You thought you were alone so you stripped down to your petticoat, a light cotton shift, and left your shoes, heavier dress, and parasol under the shade of a tree. You let down your hair, freeing it from the confines you had to regularly tame it into. The joys of childhood had just passed you now that you were a woman but a part of your soul missed the simple pleasure of being free in body and mind under the summer sun. 

You eventually sat down on the grassy bank, kicking your feet slowly in the cool water. You’d been down this path hundreds of times before and you were well familiar with this portion of the river. Laying back with your arms behind your head against the lush grass you enjoyed watching the clouds roll by in the sky. You watched until your eyes slid closed of their own volition. You weren’t exactly sleeping, you were merely resting under the rich summer sun and enjoying the bounties of life itself.

You felt the sun disappear and you frowned. There hadn’t been that many clouds when you’d last looked, not enough to cover the sun. Opening your eyes had you gasping in fright as you saw a handsome young man leaning over you. His short mop of blonde hair was hanging down as he considered your form. You tried to scramble up but your head jerked back harshly as you realized the man was standing on your loose hair. He was staring at you intensely, his expression somewhere in between interest and amusement. As you crossed your arms over your chest to cover your near nudity you noticed that the silver ferrule of his cane was centimeters from your face. It wasn’t becoming for a young woman to be practically naked and especially not in front of a young man, the situation was making you flush furiously.

“Please sir, you’re standing on my hair,” you said to the young man. He was around your age but you hadn’t met him before nor seen him in society. There were plenty of families coming and going all the time in your city, it was a busy mercantile area. It wasn’t unusual for new members to drop in as the social landscape changed.

“So I am yoi,” the man replied, his gaze never leaving your face as you felt yourself flushing deeper. You’d never been allowed so close to a man you weren’t related to and this was not how you expected it to happen.

“Please sir, would you mind moving?” you asked politely, his strange reply not at all what you were expecting. 

“I would,” he replied, your hair still underneath his leather boot. A teal feather floated down from his coat and he plucked it from the air between two fingers. He was upside down to your vision and you tried to tilt your head as far as you could to get a good look at him.

“I-I’m sorry?” you stammered with a half smile, not understanding the situation that was unfolding. The young man had a gleam in his eye that you didn’t like, something dark and terrible lurking just under the surface.

“I would mind moving. I quite like you trapped beneath me,” the man said with a smile, as if the two of you were discussing the weather. Your smile faded as you understood the reality of the situation. You felt your heart began to race as you thought through your situation. You’d chosen this path due to the low numbers of people who used it for the purpose of evading your governess. Now you were alone with a strange man who seemed perfectly pleased to have you ensnared.

“Ah, Sir -”

“Marco,” he said, tutting at you. He hadn’t moved his hands from the top of his cane but now picked it up and moved it away from your face. Everything about this situation was making you uncomfortable. It was horrible enough to be unprotected with a strange man but something in your gut was telling you to run as fast as far as you could. 

“M-marco, would you please let me up?” you asked, your nipples pebbling under your thin shift. You had no other recourse but to ask politely, you were at his mercy.

“What will you give me?” he asked, now using the ferrule of his cane to tilt your head backward, exposing your neck further. 

“Wha- I - I have some funds in my -” you said as the ferrule dug deeper into the soft underside of your jaw.

“Not funds yoi. Have you been kissed by a man?” he asked, now squatting down on his haunches to get a better look at you. You felt your flush extending far past your collarbones as you answered.

“N-no. I have not.” 

“Then I shall set you free for the price of your first kiss,” Marco stated. He wasn’t asking you or bargaining and you felt like you’d made a deal with the devil. Taking the teal feather, Marco set it behind your ear before he stood up and removed his foot from your hair. You did not hesitate as you burst to your feet and ran as fast as you could away from the strange man. He laughed and slowly took chase, walking leisurely as you ran with your hair flying behind you. As you ran you decided that climbing a tree might be the best bet for losing him as the foliage would obscure you from his sight. You scrabbled up the tree, scraping your knees and arms in the process of trying to climb higher and higher away from this menace. Reaching a large and high branch, you pressed yourself against the trunk and tried to stay out of sight. All you could hear was the beating of your heart in your chest and your panting breath as you covered your mouth with your hand.

“Oh, what a fickle lover you are! To deceive me with such a trick, what a naughty Dove,” Marco said, walking slowly down the path while tapping his cane against passing tree trunks. He stopped underneath the shade of the tree you were in. You quieted yourself even further and prayed that he didn’t know you were above.

“Such naughtiness needs correction yoi. It wouldn’t be seemly for an enchanting lady to run so wild, crushing men’s hearts with her capricious nature. Furthermore a lady should not be climbing trees like a rapscallion, she should be with her husband and attending to his needs,” he intoned as if lecturing you. He sat down at the base of the tree, setting his cane across his large lap. Your dress now clung to you like a second skin from the nervousness you were exuding. Yes, you were safe for now but you were also up a tree with no methods of egress. Distantly you heard the voice of your governess calling for you - you could have cried from the relief you felt washing over you. Her voice rang through the forest, getting louder as she approached where you were.

“So that’s your name then, little Dove? A fitting name for such an exquisite fille. I suppose I will take my leave,” Marco said, still facing away. He looked up in the tree and pierced you with his gaze, skewering you where you stood. You realized he’d known you were there the whole time and was playing with you for his own amusement. There was no longer merriment in his tone, you felt like you were the unlucky fox to his hound, about to be rent to pieces. 

“Your first kiss belongs to me, and myself alone. If I find you have wasted it on another little Dove, I assure you that you will not like the outcome,” he stated, his grip tightening around his cane. You shivered at his vow, delivered like a curse.  Getting up, he dusted off his clothing and resumed walking down the path. Passing your governess, he tipped his head in acknowledgement.

“I believe your errant ward is that way,” Marco said, almost apologetically. “Young women need to be guided with a firm hand, no?”

Shortly after your encounter with Marco, he and his family were introduced in society. You kept your distance from the doctor, never speaking to him outside the bare minimum required for social etiquette. For his part he didn’t try to find you alone or subject you to his whims again. You’d never told anyone of the time you had spent Marco but his lingering, intense stare told you he hadn’t forgotten. There wasn’t anything concrete between you and the handsome doctor - he had forced a pact between you without your consent. And yet you still never kissed a man, choosing instead to heed his warning. He hadn’t threatened you with anything specific and yet the feral look in his eyes told you he held you to his promise. You kept the teal feather and put it in a book, finding it too beautiful to dispose of no matter the origin. The feather never dulled or withered, it almost had a preternatural flame to its color. 

In the past few months you’d been hopeful that Marco had finally forgotten about you or moved on as he hadn’t been seen at parties as much. His new sanitarium was being completed and he was heavily involved in the project. He was not only the head physician on staff but also had raised the majority of the money donated to help those with mental issues. Marco barely spoke about the project before women were opening their pocketbooks, outdoing one another in a bid to catch his attention. You had tried to avoid the gala that had been thrown in his honor but your parents insisted you attend. People started remarking on Marco’s glances being directed your way and your parents wanted you to capitalize it. You tried to make them understand but they insisted on dressing you in your finest (and most revealing) blue gown and sent you on your way. The gown matched the teal feather you’d kept all these years so you tucked it last minute into your hairstyle as an accessory. Feathers were in fashion currently so it wouldn’t be out of place among the flocks of women looking their best. 

After being announced at the ball you quickly headed off to the side, hoping to hide yourself among the people hanging in the wings. Marco came from a large family and there were dozens of men you didn’t recognize circulating among the friends and acquaintances you met regularly. You tried to subtly keep your eyes on Marco, minding where he was at all times to avoid him as best you could while you chatted with those you knew. Somehow, to your dismay, Marco was able to slip your notice several times but didn’t approach you. Throughout the evening you had the sensation of eyes on you but anytime you looked around, there was nothing amiss. Towards the middle of the night you let out a sigh of relief - Marco was about to begin his speech thanking everyone and you’d be able to leave right after. 

Everyone gathered around the dance floor where they would be able to hang on the honeyed words that slipped from Dr. Newgate’s mouth. Like before you stayed towards the back of the crowd, only partially listening as you waited for the speech to conclude in between long rounds of applause. Marco began with the expected remarks, thanking all the generous donations that had been made to the groundbreaking Newgate Sanatorium. Apparently the Emperor himself had donated to Marco’s mental health ward and had given him a private audience to speak to his cause. The Sanatorium would help thousands of people struggling to maintain their psyches using the most cutting edge technologies. Marco would be bringing in medical students and other doctors so as to train the upcoming generation in the newest and most modern ways to treat the mentally injured. You were truly impressed with the services Dr. Newgate would be providing to the community and were glad he'd have the support he needed.

You clapped along with everyone else but were watching the exit to make your escape. Marco then began walking through the crowd as he spoke, the throng parting easily for their hero. “But there is still one thing missing from the Sanatorium,” Marco said, now walking in your direction, his cane tapping gently on the ground as he moved. You remembered that cane well from your younger years and the way it had dug into your skin as if to mark you. Shivering, you tried to back away with the rest of the crowd. Marco’s blue eyes locked in and bore into your own, as if he’d been tracking you the whole time. Your blood ran cold as he continued his approach. People noticed him staring at you and stopped moving out of the way, their bodies serving as a tacit barrier to your egress. Marco stood in front of you as your breath started to come in short bursts, feeling just as stuck as all those years prior.

“Rather, one person. A doctor can work his whole life to help others, but who helps him at the end of a long day? A man needs a wife to have a complete life, to feel like he matters not only in society but in his home as well. Which is why I am proposing marriage to-” Marco continued talking as he bent down on one knee in front of you but you couldn’t hear anything he was saying.

Marco reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out a small velvet box. You could feel your heart beating wildly as he opened it, revealing a large sapphire ring set in gold. You gasped, covering your distraught face with your hands. The guests clapped and cheered, mistaking your shock for approval. Several men whooped loudly, coming to clap Marco on his back. Your vision had narrowed into just the ring, you were unable to look at anything else. Marco took the ring out of the box and gently pried your hand off your face, sliding the ring onto your finger. It was a perfect fit. He stood up, towering over your smaller form once more as he gripped you about the waist with one large hand. His fingers dug into your side keeping you secured to him.

“My betrothed and I will dance together for the first time tonight yoi,” Marco declared with flourish, giving the crowd a large smile. You finally snapped out of your stupor and tried to dislodge his hand subtly but Marco was already guiding you to the dance floor. Putting you into a dancing position, Marco held out his hand and pulled you close to his body, his hand pressing into your back. You placed your hand in his as the music began to play, a slow, romantic song that was perfect for a lover’s waltz.

“And now you are trapped beneath me once more, little Dove,” Marco said, his calm eyes belying the strength of his gaze. He was an excellent dancer, leading you easily around the empty dance floor as onlookers gossiped behind their hands. 

“I didn’t say yes,” you replied quietly, trying to keep yourself from bolting on the spot.

“Everyone believes you did. You’re wearing my ring,” he said with a light laugh, as if you’d said something funny. “Are you going to defy expectations once more, little Dove? Try another bid for freedom? I haven’t forgotten how you broke your promise to me, and I intend to collect,” Marco said, dipping you backwards. As he brought you back up he gave you a genuine smile, so different from the calculating and sharp one he usually displayed. It was a rare moment of warmth from Marco, the first you could actually remember receiving. Seeing it made you nearly miss a step but Marco corrected you without missing a beat, staying in tune with the orchestra.

“You’re wearing my feather yoi,” he said softly, bringing a finger up to touch your hair. You didn’t want to dissuade his notion and make him angry, especially in front of his brothers and the crowd. His touch made you shiver, this was the first time that he touched you directly.

“I can’t marry you Marco,” you replied, looking up into his eyes. Your will didn’t waver even as you kept your face neutral to avoid a social scandal.

“You will,” Marco said easily, pulling you closer. 

“I won’t,” you said stiffly as the song was hitting its final notes.

“Make your escape then,” Marco said as the song concluded, bringing your hand to his mouth to kiss. You felt the press of his sharp teeth against your skin, like it was the first step in devouring you. “See how far you get, Little Dove.”

Marco had been right thus far. Your parents publicly accepted the proposal and spent their time persuading you in the privacy of their home. No matter what you said, they were determined for you to accept Dr. Newgate’s proposal. The worst part was that there was nothing concrete that you could pinpoint as your reason not to marry Marco. You didn’t want to reveal the encounter you had all those years ago- any suspicion of impropriety would have them marrying you off immediately to avoid disgrace. Beyond that, all you had was a gut feeling, the sense of being captured in the talons of a bird of prey. You had started locking yourself in your room to avoid the circular conversation. That had worked until they took the doorknob off which prevented you from separating yourself any further.

To your dismay you were also unable to get the engagement ring off your finger. When you didn’t have the intention of removing it, the beautiful ring spun easily around your finger and caused no discomfort. But when you tried to take it off you were unable to dislodge it from your finger by any means. It was like it was stuck there permanently - butter, lotion, and oil did nothing to help you guide the ring off your finger. You tried cutting it off with shears or pliers but the ring was seemingly indestructible and immovable. Late at night you marveled at the ring, sweat running down your brow from the effort to remove it, as you wondered what magic Marco had imbued within it that made it unable to be removed. You’d heard of Devil Fruits and their miraculous powers but never in inanimate objects. 

A few days before Marco and his father were set to come over and discuss next steps, your father had began trying to beat you into submission. He wasn’t all that big but he didn’t have to be as he was stronger than you. He said marrying Marco was in your best interest and you were insane if you couldn’t see that. You hadn’t relented even as your shoulders and back ached with the accumulating bruises. He never struck your face or chest, afraid that Dr. Newgate might see the evidence of his “arguments.” You still hadn’t relented, the beatings you were enduring the better option than marrying Marco Newgate. 

Your parents had asked for Marco and his father to visit and confirm the engagement all together, convinced that you wouldn’t be able to say no in front of the formidable men. Your courage hadn’t wavered as you politely but firmly told Mr. Newgate that you were not in a position to accept a marriage proposal from his son. Mr. Newgate wasn’t upset or even surprised by your admission. He simply considered you with cold eyes and puffed on his pipe, neither agreeing or disagreeing. Your parents tried to backpedal your words, leading to your father leading you away from the parlor by your forearm. Bringing you into the sitting room, your father locked the door behind you. Turning to face you, he was purple in the face, his free hand was already balled into a fist.

“Just who do you think you are?” he loudly whispered into your face, spittle hitting your face as he spoke. His hand gripped you tighter on your forearm as he spun you to face him. His fist raised above your head, making you shrink back from the coming hit. You screwed your eyes shut as your father’s grip on you made you cry out in pain. “You will be marrying Dr. Newgate even if I have to -” Suddenly your father’s grip on your arm was gone and he began screaming his own pain. Your eyes flew open as you saw your father’s fist being crushed by Marco’s larger one. Marco wasn’t paying attention to your fathers cries as his eyes poured over your face.

“Please go sit with my father in the parlor, Darling,” you heard Marco’s cold voice cut through that of your father as he begged Marco for mercy. Fleeing the macabre scene you did as he asked and ran back to the parlor, chest heaving as Mr. Newgate sat impassively. His eyes roved over your smaller form and he grunted, tapping his pipe against the side of the chair. Your mother watched the used tobacco fall on her prized carpet but kept her mouth shut as the sounds of your father’s screaming hit a crescendo. 

“Marco’s not one to let go. ‘Twould be better to marry him now Lass,” Mr. Newgate advised you. You didn’t respond as Marco came sauntering down the hall, wiping the silver top of his cane with his handkerchief. It came away bloody as he folded it and replaced it in his jacket pocket. He looked like he had taken a stroll in the garden, not beating your father bloody. You distantly heard your father groaning and your mother locked eyes at Marco. He smiled calmly and nodded, allowing her to leave to tend to him. Marco crossed the room to you, taking your hands in his own.

“Are you injured?” he asked, searching your face. As you shook your head he pushed your sleeves higher on your arms, revealing the ugly bruises left behind. Marco’s lips thinned in displeasure as the pads of his thumbs traced the dark marks. 

“I wish you would have told me sooner. No one hurts my little Dove,” he murmured, bringing your forearm to his mouth for a kiss. You were wary of Marco before but now you were truly scared of what he was capable of with the screams of your father still ringing in your ears.

“Now then, shall we get married this week or next?” Marco asked, kissing the ring on your finger.

Author Interview: Jo-Anne Duffett

Tell us about yourself.: I am a medical doctor by day and writer by night and somewhere in between I find time for photography, gardening, running, kayaking and travelling with her fishing mad husband. I am passionate about sports medicine and am also a travel doctor with a yellow fever license and a part-time academic. My first novel, Surf n Turf is set between Cape Town (home) and the Karoo where I love the brilliant night skies. Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?: I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, into a fairly ordinary medical family. Not for long, though... When I finished primary school, we moved to the amazon jungle where my parents were medical missionaries. The mission base was a cultural melting pot of Brazilians, Americans, Europeans and every nationality you can imagine. I quickly added Portuguese to my English and Afrikaans. (South Africa has 12 official languages (sign language being the 12th)). I had a Norwegian tutor for geography, a British lady for English, a South African ecologist teaching me about the jungle, there was a an Argentinian who fell in love with an Australian. So I have a very multi-cultural background. When I returned to South Africa to complete high school, no one could figure out my nationality by my accent. I was just the jungle girl who had owned a pet sloth, nearly lost her parrot to a boa constrictor and dealt with many snakes and tarantulas. I also had a horse, Great Danes and Siamese cats who were never allowed outside without a leash - we never knew when there was a jaguar lurking around. Our house was surrounded by jungle. The howler monkeys were terrifying when we first arrived and I was trying to read Lord of the Rings and was convinced the sounds came from some creature in the book. After the jungle Cape Town was tame but my family continued to do short term mission trips, taking me to places like Uganda and Mozambique. I met my husband when I was 14 but we only married when I was 25 once I was finished studying medicine. He had never left the Western Cape before meeting me, now we have travelled all over the world and South Africa. My field of medicine also creates opportunities for travel, I have been to a conference in the USA, visited universities in the Netherlands, travelled with team South Africa to China, India, the Isle of Man, Zambia and Lesotho. I love exploring and with my husband we have ventured to Finland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, the Seychelles, Zanzibar and all our neighbors Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia.

I seem to get more done, the more that needs to be done. I thought during my holiday that I would write for vast periods, yet I ended up reading instead, but during term, when I can only snatch a sentence or a paragraph, then I really make progress. Work of course is never ending high pressure. How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing? It is entirely determined by my characters. I first need to understand what makes them tick, anticipate their reactions, let myself become their alter ego. If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be? My photography.

What are the qualities of a good sports injury clinic?

Are you looking for a sports injury clinic in Peoria? Here are the things you need to consider before choosing a sports injury clinic. A sports injury clinic is a healthcare facility that deals in treating sports-related injuries and illnesses. Sports medicine clinics employ doctors who deal with diagnosing and treating injuries related to exercise fitness activities and sports participation. The best sports injury clinics must have the right equipment, good staff, and a modern facility.

Equipment

A good sports injury clinic should have the latest equipment that is needed to do the job. The staff should be trained to use the equipment properly and they should be well-versed in the different kinds of injuries that can occur in sports.

Staff

The staff at a good sports injury clinic must be able to give you advice on how to prevent future injuries as well as treat your current injury. They should also be able to identify your symptoms quickly so they can treat you faster. When choosing a sports injury clinic, look for one that has more than one doctor working in it. This ensures that there is always someone available if one doctor is busy treating another patient.

Facility

You should choose a clinic with an efficient facility because this will ensure that patients get treated quickly and efficiently. You should also check out what amenities are offered by the clinic before making any decisions about where you want to go for treatment.

Environment 

A comfortable environment for treatment. A good sports injury clinic will have a clean and welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable leaving their shoes at the door and sitting down on the floor or couch during their appointments. It should also be easy for people who are not comfortable speaking English to communicate with staff members easily enough so that they can get the help they need quickly and efficiently without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable due to language barriers.

Insurance coverage

The quality that you should look for in a sports injury clinic is insurance coverage. It is best if they accept your insurance plan so that you don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses while getting treatment for your injury.

Importance of sports injury clinic

The sports injury clinic is a place where people go when they have been injured while playing a sport. It is also similar to a medical clinic in that it can deal with injuries related to sports, but it has more experience dealing with these types of injuries.

Sports injury clinics are usually run by doctors or other medical professionals who deal with treating sports-related injuries. They may be at a hospital or a private practice, and they can work on any type of athlete from professional athletes to weekend warriors.

A sports injury clinic can help an athlete recover from any kind of injury he or she might have sustained during practice or competition. The doctor can prescribe medication and exercises to help the patient restore quickly. If other critical procedures are necessary, the doctor will perform them at the clinic as well as provide postoperative care for his patients.

Hiromi's Backstory

She was born into the Soule family in May 24th, 1998. She was born 3 weeks prior to her due date.

As a baby, she was quite well behaved. Which set her up as a specific archetype of person. She loved other people's attention, but specifically stuck to her grandfather, Keon. Her first steps were taken at 6 months old, trying to get back to him after being ripped from his arms. A sign of concern appeared as she spoke her first word at 9 months, "Blood."

After her first birthday, she began to close off more. Despite being so young, she became wary of humankind. But Keon forced the interactions, teaching her how to act like she was one of them.

By two years old, she became quite well mannered. Always listening to her superiors and elders. Her "terrible twos" mostly involved Hiromi not knowing her boundaries with others. Which most people found endearing.

When she was 3, she began to realize not many people her own age got along with her due to her superiority complex. So Ronin and Larkyn were more than happy to take her under their wings.

At 4, she began reading like her brother. But quickly became disinterested in fiction. It was her doctor phase, as she learned basic herbal remedies from her grandmother, the Shaman/Healer of the Coven, Mi-na.

At 5, in kindergarten she began running. She enjoyed the physical aspect of it, but there was still something missing. This also the age she noticed Destry, the only elementary school student brave enough to speak up about witches. After Destry's incident, despite the sudden intrusion in her life, they became friends.

Age 6, Hiromi was shoved into a pool for the first time. It was by an older bully, who expected her to cry and call for help. But Hiromi's legs were strong, and this is how she discovered her love for swimming. At this age, when she would spend time with Mi-na, her family would call them Mi and Mi. Destry, using word association, bestowed the nick name Mimi onto her. It is still stuck on her to this day, Hiromi hates it.

At 7, is when Keon's mind broke after the death of Hiromi's mother. She became closed off to everyone, except for her new friend, Arcadia. Arcadia, who's memories had been erased after Keon attempted to kill her. Hiromi would play pretend that she wasn't distraught from Keon's abscence. She was able to bury her emotions into physical exertion, aka swimming.

At 8, Mimi began competitively swimming. She got 5th place in her first race, which for someone her age and level, was amazing. In Hiromi's it wasn't good enough. This is also the age she began getting nightmares about her grandfather. They weren't bad enough to draw unwanted attention.

At 9, she still hadn't gotten first place in any competitions, but consistently third. Arcadia's parents took a shine to Hiromi, considering how close the two had gotten. Mi-na began teaching Hiromi simple and educational healing spells. Having decided that after Mi-na, Hiromi would take on the mantle of Shaman in the Coven.

At 10, is when she finally placed first in a race. As a matter of fact, she went above and beyond making a new record for that age group. It was this day that she decided that it was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life (of course, not consulting her grandmother who had different plans). It was also at this time that Arcadia's parents, the leaders of the Anti-Witch Campaigns, began to suspect the Soule family of witchcraft. Considering the only days Hiromi would sleepover, would be full moons (the days that witches typically enacted their plans due to their powers being at their peak).

At 11, Hiromi noticed that they were different than other girls. They didn't like things girls liked. At first, not understanding different sexualities or genders, assumed it was just their way of following their older brother. As puberty began to hit, their nightmares were evolving. Into night sweats and panic attacks. They also had their first kiss with a fellow swimmer, named Andrew Parker.

At 12, the nightmares fully developed into night terrors, which Mi-na saw fit to put Hiromi into therapy. Janet took care of them, but it was to no avail. Ronin had discovered his powers, which made Hiromi extremely jealous, knowing it would still be awhile until they found their's. They stopped competing in swimming competitions, hoping that eventually they would find a greater challenge once they reached older age groups.

At 13, they searched desperately for their powers. In the beginning, Hiromi couldn't understand their totem which was a bear. The only power that seemed to appear was the ability to manipulate people through intimidation. At this point, they had given up on curing their night terrors, and only slept about 2-4 hours a night.

At 14, Hiromi learned from Destry the term non-binary (Destry, being more exposed to the LGBTQ+ community because of her moms) and finally began to understand themselves. They only came out to 4 people closest to them (Ronin, Larkyn, Arcadia, and Destry).

15, Hiromi discovered Carmine and Errol, and invited the two into the coven. They began competing again, coming in 2nd their first returning race. On a particularly exhausting day, they accidentally feel asleep on Carmine's shoulder. But for once, they didn't have a nightmare. It was only when they slept next to Carmine that they felt safe enough to sleep peacefully. Though the arrangement confused Carmine, he thought he owed Hiromi for saving his life. Because high school had begun for Hiromi, their sport achievements began attracting University scouts. Arcadia's powers began to show through, after she poisoned her ex-boyfriend with venom. They were able to comfort their best friend, and from then on there was a natural dependency shared between the two.

16, they had been breaking swimming records left and right. Mi-na had realized if they were to go to a prestigious school, they wouldn't be able to become the Coven's Shaman. Although, to the League of Witches, this seemed to be for the best. Once they considered how Hiromi's powers were weak compared to others. In order to keep Hiromi on the path of the Coven, Mi-na forced a car accident.The car flipped over several times, Hiromi and Arcadia's sister being severely injured in the crash. Hiromi's knee was shattered, ending her career in sports. What Mi-na didn't predict was the car setting on fire. Hiromi, in the heat of the moment, attempted to push the dark in enough for Arcadias sister to wiggle out. With ease, the only detergent being the awkward angle, they pushed in the dash as if it was a pop can. The League and Coven realized the strength came from their totem and were very impressed. Afterwards, during one of the core 7's meetings under the full moon, Phoenix stumbled upon them in the forest. She recognized Hiromi from school and begged to be a part of it. Phoenix herself had begun to develop powers. Hiromi agreed reluctantly, but were also secretly happy that they were needed.

17, after their blessing ceremony, Hiromi became obsessed with learning the ins and outs of magic. Considering that they thought they would never amount to anything outside the Wiccan world. At the same time, they still needed to pursue a career to steer clear of the Witch Hunters. They chose medicine, specifically a Nurse, which would aid in their Shaman passion.

18, the one and only year that the boys and ladies were separated. Hiromi became stressed, which only made the night terrors without Carmine worse. Their grades leaving High school weren't what they would've liked, but their college essay (which was mainly bullshit tbh) was enough proof for them to get in. Their was a concern about the group being away from the Coven, but Hiromi was able to convince the League otherwise. They decided to skip Prom with Arcadia that night.

19, first year of University. They had a stoner roommate while Arcadia's roommate dropped out first day. Which got the two to be able to room together. Although most night they spent with Carmine and Errol. It's gotten to the point where Hiromi has a key to the boys' dorm room. Over the past year, Hiromi had noticed the major escalation of Carmine's alcoholism. But they couldn't worry about that right away, having their own things to worry about. More and more witches were being discovered. And, according to witness reports, Keon has followed the group across the country. The biggest concern for not only Hiromi, but the entire Witch race, was the new and innovative ways Witch Hunters finding out who were witches.

Yeah I definitely think the fighting type could stand to have more variety in how it portrays its specialists since it's almost always martial artist or fitness (Korrina, Dendra who is more of physical education instructor rather just being flat out a martial artist and the argument for Brawly since at least in the anime he is portrayed more as a surfer). I feel like some more unique options for fighting type specialists careers would be

Lawyer: since fighting types are also represented by "honor" (hence why they are super-effective against the "underhanded" dark types). So a Phoenix Wright style attorney could be fun. They could also be a judge

Sports Medicine Doctor: I'm biased but we need more (human) medical professionals in Pokemon and sports medicine doctors work with athletes (like martial artists) and other people with musculoskeletal injuries. A physical therapist could also work perfectly

Doing the math, the only types that haven't gotten a type specialist from me is water, fighting and steel. Which I find interesting.

Looking at the fighting type,I feel like they are all kinda the same "person who is into physical fitness" type. Of course, personality duffers but concepts are pretty much the same thing in concept. I kinda wish Gamefreak would expand on the idea of fighting type more. The only one who really does this is Korrina, and that's due to her aesthetic being roller skating not just martial arts.

Like Tulip. I feel like Tulip would have been interesting as a fighting type expert since she doesn't outwardly appear to be as such, but her focus on the body and physical wellness could have been an interesting take on the fighting type genre. Even more so since she doesn't look like a traditional fighting type user. I dunno. I feel like they could really branch out more here ( as well with other types in general).

Orthopedic doctors are medical doctors that treat conditions similar to arthritis and osteoporosis. Such doctors are extremely skilled in areas addressing broken bones, joint issues, as well as other musculoskeletal conditions. Highly respected within the medical community, orthopedists can be located working in private practices as well as hospitals all over the country. Orthopedists that work in private practices or small clinics often times limit the types of concerns they will treat. This is the doctor's right to choose to do this. It is quite common for clinic orthopedists to refer their patient's toward outside offices intended for treatment they can offer but select not to. The Orthopedic Doctor Phoenix tends to treat a larger range of issues within the scope of their specialty.
