Foot and Ankle Injuries
Foot and ankle injuries can be overwhelming for new sports medicine learners due to the complex network of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Sleep
This episode deals with something we all do every day, sleep! Sleep is now seen as an active, restorative experience intended to optimize our functioning while awake, rather than a passive process. Sleep is closely tied with mood and pain, and plays animportant role in cognition, emotional regulation, injury, function, and chronic disease.Sleep difficulties are incredibly prevalent and fatigue frequently accumulates over time –the concept of sleep debt.
