In Ep.68 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we we welcome the return of Dr Claire Minshull, a hugely respected Rehabilitation specialist with over 20+ years experience working in sports medicine and health as a Senior Lecturer, Researcher, Consultant and Practitioner.

Topics discussed include: Understanding the psychological trauma of someone involved in a serious collision injury.  Claire's personal experience of concussion. Concussion Going into and coming out of Surgery - factors to consider. How much does knowledge & experience help a therapist when they find themselves as the patient?  Post surgery rehab protocol - is it for everyone?      Claire's application of her own strength & conditioning principles to her personal rehabilitation.
