Love the podcast the banter and how it relates to evidence- would like to hear more of the guest discussing their area of expertise
Shame they keep talking about their audience being up to 50 and feeling their age at 40-50.! What about the listeners 60 and above working out and getting on with life .
A brilliant resource for PTs, ATCs, and S&C professionals. Mick and Randall give you the latest research, but most importantly, they focus on the stuff that is actually actionable and will make a difference for your patients.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
