  • Excellent information!

    I’ve come across this podcast as I’m recovering from 2 stress fractures and episode 108 was so helpful in understanding fractures more and I have been recommended further episodes by Blake to help. I am so glad I’ve come across this podcast as it can be hard as a patient to fully understand what’s going on and self education is really important so thank you!
