Welcome to episode 9 of the Bodcast.
Today we are talking with Specialist Physiotherapist Aniksha Trivedi who is the founder of Proactive Physiotherapy and Wellness here in Nairobi.
Aniksha had literally just come back from the Commonwealth Games with the Kenyan team, so we had to ask her how that experience was!
We then dive into common anatomical issues that arise from people who are pushing muscle growth and performance in the gym.
We talk about the importance of tendons, what they are, how to treat tendon injuries and what you can do to prevent them.
Aniksha discusses how important a good warm up is and how she likes to programme in mobility.
We also talk about our opinions on foam rolling, Thera guns and stretching (you might be surprised with some of these answers)!
She takes us through some new treatment technology she has such as Shockwave therapy.
We discuss how important it is to work with a physiotherapist not just when you are injured, but proactively as well.
This is an info packed episode, and we really hope you find it useful.
