In this episode we have a chat with this year’s American Medical Society for Sports Medicine(AMSSM) Global Exchange Program to South Africa candidate Dr Emily Sweeney. Doctor Sweeney is a Pediatric Sport Medicine Physician currently practising at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver. She will also be a speaker at the biannual SASMA Conference in October later this year.
Being a previous elite level gymnast who retired at a young age due to a back injury, Doctor Sweeney has a unique perspective to gymnastic medicine. Despite retiring as an athlete she remained very involved with the sport and now serves as a practitioner to many gymnasts suffering with gymnastics related injuries and pathology.
The discussion touches on numerous gymnastics medicine topics, like mental health, diversification of skills and lessons from the recent Paris Olympics. Some of the articles referred to in the episode:
-Returning to Sports After Gymnastics Injuries
-Health outcomes among former female collegiate gymnasts: the influence of sport specialization, concussion, and disordered eating
