🗣 On our mic today, we interviewed Mervyn Travers 🇦🇺, a researcher, physiotherapist, and strength and conditioning coach at Curtin University in Australia. We discussed the topic of female athletes and how he pays attention to their specific needs as a clinician. Mervyn has extensive experience teaching various subjects, including anatomy, pain neuroscience, and exercise rehabilitation. He is also a passionate sportsman who has participated in sports such as rugby, weightlifting, and currently triathlon, including some impressive IronMan events!

👀 In this episode, we delve into Mervyn's insights on female athletes, the challenges of asking the right questions, and he highlights the excellent work of the Australian Institute of Sport (Female High-Performance Initiative). We also share our thoughts on the opportunities for women in sports and provide practical advice for clinicians on how to better support female athletes.

🎖️ If you appreciate our approach, we kindly ask you to share this episode with your colleagues, friends, family, and even your beloved cat 🐱, so that we can have a positive impact on the care provided to sportswomen and reach as many people as possible!

🙌 Happy listening to you
