Great insight from Blake the Master Podiatrist and Kelly, my fav physio in NSW. 

Super Super excited about this 3 part series on "HOW TO TREAT THE RUNNING ATHLETE" with my first ever Zoom collab with distinguished guests from The Sports Medicine Project (Kelly Kortick and Black Withers)!! Kelly is a fellow physio and Blake is a podiatrist who also lectures at the University of Newcastle, both of them are keen runners and triathlon athletes and have a vast array of knowledge in treating runners. So I thought I would pick their brains about questions like:

1.) What is the typical runner's personality and mentality like?

2.) What are some subjective 'must ask' questions when a runner comes in to see you? 

This is one of the most jam packed episodes to date. Wazza has a passion for working with athletes as Dan tries to pick his brain regarding how to best treat and communicate with the motivated and keen athlete who is injured and now under your care. Often they can come with a bit more added stress, as there is usually a 'grand final' or' big game' they want to return to, so how do physios best navigate this?? Well.. listen to find out more!! 

P.S we also teach you how to respectfully take care of those pest parents.. we all know what they are like...
