449 Emma Deakin - British Triathlon Lead Physiotherapist - a podcast by Rob Wilby

Emma Deakin was Head of Performance Health Services and Lead Physiotherapist at British Triathlon. From 2009, she was part of the team from the English Institute of Sport coordinating the support for the British Triathlon athletes which helped deliver multiple Olympic medals at London 2012, Rio 2016, and most recently Tokyo 2021. She’s also been the physiotherapist who has worked hands-on with our medal winners like Alistair Brownlee, Jonny Brownlee, Vicki Holland, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Alex Yee and Jess Learmonth. We hear some of the stories from the last three Olympic cycles, and also pick her brains on the best way that Age Groupers can improve their flexibility, strength and conditioning to help ensure strong, durable bodies. 

This interview was first released in October 2021.
