In Ep.213 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast: ‘Women In Sports Therapy (WIST) Is back!’ host Matt Phillips of Runchatlive.com is joined by the new voices of the ‘Women In Sports Therapy' podcast & community: • Sonia Fierro - Founder of Recover Stronger • Gemma Puzas - Owner & Manager of CoreFit Health • Sara Packard - Founder of founder of Fitness Therapy for You. Sonia Fierro was sadly not able to join Gemma & Sara for this episode due to unforseen child care care issues (a perfect example of what particularly women in Sports Therapy have to deal with!), but the good news is Sonia & Gemma will be presenting a ‘Women In Sports Therapy Q&A Session’ on Day 1 of Therapy Expo this November, at 10.15am in the STA Theatre, directly after Michelle Lyons (special guest in STA Podcast Ep.201) delivers her Q&A session on 'Muscles and Tendons - Menstrual, Maternal & Menopausal influences’. In this episode, Gemma & Sarah discuss their diverse backgrounds, their passion for supporting women in the sports therapy industry, and their plans for the WIST community. They highlight the importance of addressing women's health issues, creating a supportive network, and providing emotional support for female therapists. A hugely insightful episode discussing the challenges and goals of women in sports therapy and how the WIST community aims to provide support and advocacy for female therapists.
