When it comes to sports science and musculoskeletal care, there are not many people with as much experience as Adam Meakins. Inspired by his curiosity and passion, Adam has continued gaining experience throughout his entire career first as a trainer before becoming a physiotherapist practicing in the UK. Since then, he has become a world-wide authority on musculoskeletal care giving international seminars, being a published author in peer-reviewed journals, and even an author for a textbook. He is also the host of his own podcast - the NAF podcast which I personally listen to!

In this episode, we discuss Adam's straightforward and experienced approach to risk reduction in the field of MSK care. We discuss his thoughts on promoting prevention in the field, manual therapy, proper exercise prescriptions, and his own recent back injury. This is a fun episode, hope you enjoy!
