In This Episode

In this episode of the podcast I interview Jeff Boyle. Dr Jeffrey Boyle is the Principal Physiotherapist at the Fremantle Dockers Football Club. Jeff is a Specialist Sports Physiotherapist (as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists  in 2009) as well as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. Additionally Jeff is an Adjunct Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Western Australia. In the interview we discuss:

  • His career pathway
  • Working with the AFL
  • A day in the life of an AFL Physiotherapist
  • The muscle imbalances that contribute to groin pathology
  • Clinical tips of assessment and treatment to prevent and manage groin pathology
  • Jeff’s Top 5 tips for successful prevention and management of groin pathology

Jeff discusses some great information that can improve your assessment, management and prevention of the athlete’s groin injuries. I hope that you love it! Enough talk up and just listen!

    Thanks so much for putting this together Matthew & Jeff. I am a chiropractic student in Melbourne and always keen to learn new material that other health professionals are mastering. It is clear that Jeff is at the top of his game and is very inspirational. So many good tips to take away and apply here.

    It’s going to read like a tribute thread this one, but great job, just had a few days off and found the site and have read everything and listened to everything.

    Subsequently also contacted on of the podcast specialists too about one of the athletes I treat, so keep up the great work, this is a much needed and long overdue Physio resource.

    Great podcast. Two quick questions:

    1) any ideas on where to find the article that Dr Boyle wrote in English?
    2) He talked about using vibration therapy. Was he referring to the stand alone vibration units/platforms or a vibration device?

    Thanks

    Thanks for doing that, that was a fantastic interview! I really liked Jeff’s insight into working with a professional AFL team. I hope you’re able to continue doing these podcasts as I get a lot out of them!
