Physio Alastair Thrush, who has worked at both Arsenal and Charlton Athletic, is this week's guest as the mental and the physical overlap.
We’ll be discussing the need to consider the mental when managing the physical, how the same injury may be treated very differently based on an understanding on the individuals’ minds, how the demands placed on physios to get players back to fitness as quickly as possible creates a risk v reward scenario, and the strain on those in Alastair's profession throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
We also touch on what was a tough period towards the end of his time at Charlton, with numerous factors coming together and contributing to an injury crisis that was tough for everyone at the club to deal with, not least Alastair.
