This week I’m joined by Santa Cruz Syndicate physio, Laura Robson. We’ll be finding out more about Laura’s background, and how she ended up spending her time keeping elite downhill riders in working order. From Atherton Racing to the Syndicate, we cover what a physio does, get Laura’s thoughts on Arm Pump, and some top tips on how we should all be thinking about looking after our bodies. So sit back and enjoy this chat with Laura Robson.

The book ‘Yoga For Cyclists’ which I mention on the podcast is by Lexie Williamson and can be found here.
