What does your menstrual cycle, lifting laundry detergent bottles (or your dog), and physiotherapy all have in common?
Physiotherapist and owner of Instil Physio, Micaela Zettel is letting you in on the secret of how they can all help you better understand your body and ensure you can successfully play sports at any level and any age.
What Micaela shares in this episode is a game changer for women in sports (and we’ve got an exciting announcement coming soon that was born in this very episode!).

Whether you identify as an athlete or not, every single woman needs to listen to this episode!
Micaela Zettel shares how she’s closing the gap in female sports medicine by helping all women see their athleticism and showing female athletes of all ages and skill levels how to work with their bodies to achieve more than they thought possible.
