Description

The gym environment can be supportive, encouraging and motivating. But it can also impact your body image, and this is not always good. I sat down with Phoebe Gray, a PhD candidate, to chat about her research that looked at body image in the gym environment.

We discuss:

    • Weight stigma in the PT environment
    • The role of PTs in influencing body image (positively or negatively)
    • How can PTs best support body image in clients?

And lots more!
