Episode Synopsis

Happy Thursday everyone! Every week we ask the public if they have a topic in mind, and this week you delivered! Amy Gibbons, a Gaelic football player and coach, reached out to us about her 3rd ACL rupture. She is a major advocate for research into why ACL injuries are so prevalent in women's sports, and what can be done to mitigate it. We spoke to her about her own journey and recovery, as well as rugby player Aoibheann Reilly, Kildare football lead s&c Dr Neil Welch, and UPMC consultant orthopaedic surgeon Professor Brian Devitt for this special episode.Have a topic or thought in mind?
