Training Clients With Osteoarthritis

Episode #222 - An Introduction to Osteoarthritis

***

Recording this one was a real privilege. I’d like to introduce you to a lady by the name of Debra Bakowska. Debra is a Doctor of Osteopathy and had a Masters in Physiotherapy. She was my main tutor during my Osteopathy degree and I owe a lot of my concepts and treatment methods to her.

To say Debra has a wealth of knowledge would be an understatement. She has been practicing for over 30 years and translated 100’s of books covering a multitude of topics.

We wanted to start her series on the podcast with an introduction to Osteoarthritis. The reason being is that it is a very overlooked topic but one that coaches should 100% have some form of knowledge in, especially if you train an older demographic.

This is a very practical approach on how to train clients with OA, exploring the do’s and don’t’s of exercise and how you can support them outside of the gym. With little jargon and lots of practical advice, this is a great one to send to people who have Osteoarthritis as well, so they can learn more about the condition.
