The Physio Matters Podcast

In session 7, Emma and Gráinne sit down to chat with Dr Anita Biswas who is a leading Sports Medicine Physician at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) at Bisham Abbey, including a strategic role with responsibility for optimising athlete health. She has worked with national and international sports teams at the Olympic Medical Institute, The British Olympic Association Intensive Rehabilitation Unit and the EIS. She is passionate about keeping athletes playing their sports, keeping active people active, regardless of age, and helping inactive people become active. She has a holistic approach, treating not only an injury but addressing the underlying cause or causes. She works closely with allied professionals including physiotherapists and podiatrists to ensure optimal care for her patients. We discuss the EIS SmartHER program, their increased focus and service development for female athletes and pelvic health and lots of discussion about what pelvic health is and what a pelvic health evaluation may look like.
