The five reps practice method was initially presented to me by John B at a clinic in Copenhagen back in 2017. I've taken to really like this approach when practicing ... 'cause it works!
After five weeks of lockdown, most of the Norwegian kindergartens opened up again on Monday. Strict measures preventing spreading the Corona virus is the talk of the day.
