Description

In this episode, I'm chatting with Angela Kenneally, who is the physio for the Irish Women's Football team (soccer for our U.S. listeners!)

We discussed:

• her journey to working in a position combining women's health in sports medicine
• which is the big difference - is it sex or is it gender?
• nurturing physical activity and sports in girls and keeping women in sport
• the importance of understanding how women's health is more than pelvic health - we talked about REDs, ACL injuries, the importance of menstrual literacy, concussion and postnatal recovery
• the importance of more female-centric research, body image..and dark shorts!
• drug free strategies for tens/endo - important for athletes who can't use certain medications/drug testing
• the importance of external skills for pelvic health

and so many more considerations!

The future is bright and we are going in the right direction, but lots of work still to do - so we need to keep the conversation going!
