In this episode join Katie Tsuyuki and Stuart Gordon as they chat about some of the things that have popped up in the other podcasts talking about injuries and how we can help avoid those injuries and keep people recovering from them. Katie experienced some injuries during her snowboarding career and needed some help recovering, which happened when our previous guest, Joe Vecchione, introduced her to the Barefoot insoles. We discuss the importance of brain speed and being able to process things mentally, which can really affect an athlete’s performance and how well they do.

“To me there’s this massive influence of that sensory nerve stimulus and it’s about stabilizing joints. What you have to do, obviously whatever the underlying cause of these ACL injuries are in female athletes, is you gotta get the muscles around the joints stronger to protect the ligaments.” 6:10
