Yann Le Meur sits down with us to discuss recovery & sports performance through his work with elite athletes from the French Olympic team over 3 Olympic cycles, to the world number 2 in tennis Daniil Medvedev & AS Monoco to name but a few. We discuss everything from his role in aiding the athletes sports performance & recovery, and where he feels the MDT approach has proved to be of the utmost importance in creating better outcomes through a better understanding of the athletes they are working with. Yann also talks about how he believes the best way to have optimum recovery isn't necessarily all about the post-game or post-training elements, but also how well trained an athlete is *before* the even get to the field/court/mat/pick your poison!

In this episode of the podcast we talked to a leader in the field of headache & migraine research. As a practising physiotherapist René has the fortune of being able to take his research and apply it directly in clinic, applying not just statistically significant but also that which will in turn be clinically significant and appropriate for use. We discuss assessment strategies for headaches, what you can look out for in your history taking and approaches for physiotherapeutic treatment.

Whilst we do discuss Covid 19 patients and I myself have seen a few covid recovered patients - both myself and Pat want to make note that this was recorded early in 2021 whilst not a lot of information was available for post-covid rehabilitation however we hope that you still have some take away moments from that aspect of the podcast!
