044 - Weigh-less wonders and technology with Caraldine Nolan

  054 - Posture Fitting with Siobhan O'Donovan AKA The Booby Physio     Siobhán O’Donovan (aka The Booby Physio!) Chartered Physiotherapist Creator and founder of the PostureFitting physiotherapy service, PostureFitting Partnership, & GALS against GRAVITY workshops.   If you had asked Siobhán 10 years ago what she would be doing in 2024, she wouldn’t have predicted being surrounded by all things breasts and bras! But here she indeed is, on a mission to raise awareness of, and demonstrate her solution for, the very underestimated impact of breast weight on women and girls.    A chartered physio with a Master’s degree in the Prevention and Management of Sport Injury, Siobhán has always been a solution-seeker. With over 30 years of clinical experience working with patients to prevent, treat, rehab and deter problems, she developed PostureFitting, a physiotherapy service which connects breast weight and support with posture. The resultant effects on her patients in feeling, moving, looking better were too good to keep a secret, and she now trains other therapists to offer the PostureFitting service.   Their mutual goal is to educate, empower & enlighten, in all ways, so that more gals win their daily battle against gravity, while busting breast & bra booby traps! 👙   Siobhan's top 3 tips:  1. To quote a fellow physio, do your own "Mesearch" - know your body so you know when things are changing and you need to do something proactively to manage that change, whatever it may be.   2.  Ask questions of reliable sources - the only stupid question really is the one you don't ask - but be mindful of those proclaiming recommendations without having the weight of information on consequences behind them. Make an informed choice for yourself rather than follow someone else's actions without due consideration.   3. Movement really is the best medicine of all. You deserve to feel well so make room so that your wellness is as much of a priority as the other priorities in your life.   Website: https://www.posturefittingphysio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/posture.fitting/     ABOUT THE HOST - Fiona Staunton Fiona Staunton is a Ballymaloe trained Chef and has a Degree in Education from Trinity.
