Rehabilitating NHL Players and Preventing Sports Injuries - Chris Broadhurst
Listen now
Description
To most people, when an athlete gets injured and steps off the playing field, we throw our hands in the air and figure that's the last we'll see of them for a few weeks. But it's precisely at these moments when people like this week's guest, Chris Broadhurst, decide to shine. Chris Broadhurst has been working in the field of sports medicine for over 35 years, and during that time he has served as the head athletic trainer for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Phoenix Coyotes, and has worked with the NHL All-Star Teams as well as Team Canada in multiple world tournaments. We wanted to bring him on to get his unique perspective on the ways in which athletics, preventative, and rehabilitative training has changed and improved over the years. The technology, knowledge, and resources at the time Chris worked with athletes like Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour's injuries were drastically different from those available to teams now, but at the core of it all remains the practice of ensuring the health and safety of the warriors who perform day in and day out.
