Season 3, Episode 1 - Ali Tonks AKA The Hippie Psych - a podcast by Laura Rutterford

Welcome to Season 3! 

We're kick starting this season on Hip Dysplasia awareness week, brought to you by @miles4hips, @paobuddies and @laura.rutterford. Bringing you lots of great info for Healthy Hips, Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds.

For this "Don't Worry Wednesday" I'm releasing this episode with Ali Tonks, aka @the.hippie.psych

Ali is trainee child psychologist and also a fellow hippy. Ali discusses with us some insights in to chronic pain, the research around it and how her work has influenced her hip journey to date. There were some amazing tips to help you manage with your pain, so listen in for those, but what really resonated with me from this discussion was her honesty and the importance of communication.
