Series 2 Episode 8: With Former GB Cyclist and Clinical Shoulder Specialist Ellie Richardson
Description
This week we combine the usual physiotherapist or athlete guest role into one with Ellie Richardson who managed to balance a career as both athlete and physiotherapist. Ellie Cycled for Scotland at the commonwealth games as well as Team GB all whilst completing her physio undergrad and moving onto specialist postgraduate studies.
Ellie takes on our key questions, giving some of the best answers we've had so far, before moving onto discussions about shoulder second opinions, Ellies own injury history and her changing perceptions of physiotherapy as both student, athlete and graduate.
This is a unique insight to a rare career path in to specialist physiotherapy and one we think is extremely valuable to our listeners. In both managing athletes and being an advancing physiotherapist!
