Sports Therapy Association Podcast
Health & Fitness
In this episode of the Sports Therapy Association podcast, host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Claire Boucher, a lecturer of Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation at Canterbury Christ Church University and PhD Researcher at University of Kent. Claire discusses her research into the thoracolumbar fascia, a critical yet often-overlooked component in lower back pain treatment strategies.
Claire's interest in this line of research was ignited from her time spent in the field, where she identified a significant gap in the understanding of lower back pain. Her research provides valuable insights for both academia and the clinical world and encompasses years of conceptual development, analysis, and a commitment to bridging scientific data with practical patient care.
The episode explores how improved understanding of fascia could drastically revolutionize therapeutic protocols in managing lower back pain. Learn about the intricacies of fascia research, the multi-factorial nature of back pain and the crucial role that continual exploration and collaboration play in this significant area of health research.
Aside from her research, Claire remains actively involved in the sports therapy community, including coaching triathlons. A must listen for clinicians, researchers or anyone interested in improving pain management strategies through scientifically sound and innovative research.
