Episode 2: Rugby 7's/15's injury management with Liv Withers and Damian Banks.

Warrick Schmidt

In this episode we are joined by England 7's physio Olivia Withers and ex All black 7's physio Damian Banks to talk about some differences in managing 7's and 15's rugby injuries. We explore common causes, assessments and rehab outcomes however, the episode ultimately ended up focussing a lot on hamstring management due to the sprinting nature of the sport. I hope you can take way some useful and insightful tips for 2 world class clinicians and rehabbing your 7's players and potentially, borrow these for other speed based sports.
