In this episode, Alex Sarama is joined by Daniel Muntz to discuss the application of an ecological approach in the field of physiotherapy, specifically in the context of basketball. They explore the traditional approach to physiotherapy and how it can be transformed to focus on prevention rather than just reactive treatment. Daniel shares his insights on recovering from ankle sprains and how to apply a constraint-led approach to rehabilitation. They also discuss the importance of integrating physiotherapy with coaching and athletic performance training to create a more holistic approach to player development.
