More Than Miles

The Precision Team attended the Female Athlete Conference in Boston, MA in early June to stay up to date with the latest female research and best practive when it comes to treating female athletes. Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy discuss their key takeaways from the conference, where female health/performance research is heading, and how they will incorpoarate these learnings into clinical practice. There is so much we still don't know about female physiology and how changes across the lifespan affect health. No spoilers, but it is not a secret that we need to learn to meet every female where they need to be met, individually. And that was a big takeaway. Along with female empowerment, of course. Will you join us at the next interation in two years? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/more-than-miles--4761296/support.

Kate, who’s run Boston three times herself, was on the other side of the barricades this year—working in the finish line medical tent as part of the massive team supporting thousands of runners crossing the line.Together, they bring two perspectives to one unforgettable race day: the physical and emotional grind of running Boston, and the organized chaos of caring for runners in distress.

Whether you've been injured, sick, pregnant, or just decided to take time away from running, you need a PLAN if and when you return to the sport. That is the message that Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy are shouting from the rooftops in this episode. They discuss the individualization of return to run programs and the nuances based on why an athlete had to take time away from running. There is no one size fits all approach, and the program will even look different based on the nature of the injury. Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy discuss not only the programming, but how to make sure that an athlete is ready to run, body weight support devices, and cross training. This is a great episode for both athletes and healthcare providers alike. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/more-than-miles--4761296/support.
