In today's episode of Hilary Topper on Air, learn how to prevent injuries and alleviate existing conditions with an expert, Craig DiGiovanni, CEO of Medi-Dyne Healthcare Products.
Here are some of the questions I asked him:
- Could you start by giving us an overview of Medi-Dyne and how it has evolved to support triathletes and endurance athletes?
- What are some common issues you see regarding injury prevention and recovery, and how do your products specifically address these challenges?
- Chafing is a significant concern for endurance athletes, especially during long races. Can you tell us about the 2Toms SportShield and how it works to prevent chafing?
- What's the difference between 2Toms SportShield and the SportShield XTRA? In what scenarios would an athlete prefer the XTRA version?
- How should triathletes incorporate SportShield into their race day preparation to avoid discomfort and skin irritation?
- Calf injuries and tightness are common issues for runners and triathletes. Can you explain how the ProStretch Plus Adjustable Calf and Foot Stretcher helps with stretching and injury prevention?
- How does the ProStretch Plus differ from traditional stretching techniques, and why is it more effective in treating conditions like calf strains or plantar fasciitis?
- Many athletes deal with tight calves due to the repetitive nature of running and cycling. How often should they be using the ProStretch Plus to maintain flexibility and avoid injury?
- Plantar fasciitis is a debilitating condition for athletes. Could you discuss how your products, besides the ProStretch Plus, help alleviate the symptoms and speed up recovery?
- Do you have any upcoming innovations or lesser-known products that address plantar fasciitis that athletes might find useful?
- What advice would you give to a triathlete dealing with plantar fasciitis in the middle of their training season?
- Given the nature of triathlon training, how can athletes maintain a balance between training hard and preventing injuries like chafing and plantar fasciitis?
- What role does product consistency and routine play in preventing these common triathlete issues, especially with products like SportShield and ProStretch?
- And finally, Craig, how can our listeners get in touch with you or learn more about Medi-Dyne?
