In episode 31, I am chatting to Melissa Domaille about Osteoporosis. Melissa is a British Nordic Walking instructor, but more relevantly, she is a physio who worked in the NHS for 25 years as a rheumatology specialist and managed the osteoporosis physio service at the Bristol Royal Infirmary. More recently she conducted a research project with Liz Carver-Richardson to develop a tailored NW programme for people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Melissa believes passionately that engagement in physical activity is beneficial for good health and well-being. She joins us today to explain how Nordic Walking can help people with Osteoporosis.
