Ep.227: 'Avoiding the Booby Traps of Breast Weight Management' with special guest Siobhan O'Donovan

This month on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, the focus is on ‘Women’s Health’, bringing you an amazing four part series of Women’s Health focussed episodes, with special guests including Christine Bird & Jo McEwan of Menopause Movement, Dr Gemma Parry from the English Institute of Sports, and Michelle Lyons of Celebrate Muliebrity.

In this Part 1 of the four episodes, entitled 'Avoiding the Booby Traps of Breast Weight Management', our special guest is Siobhan O'Donovan, aka ‘The Booby Physio’, who caused a storm of interest at last year’s Therapy Expo with her presentation about the impact that breast weight management can have on the physical, psychological and social health of women and girls.  In this hugely educational hour, Siobhan discusses this often-overlooked aspect of women's health and its profound effects, from sports performance to everyday comfort. Learn how internal support through posture and external support through proper bras can transform women's lives by reducing discomfort and enhancing health. Whether you're a therapist seeking to better serve your clients or simply interested in learning more about this vital topic, this episode offers valuable knowledge and perspectives.
