And for those that don't know Julie, here is her bio:
Dr. Julie Granger, PT, DPT, SCS, WHC is a teen & women’s health and life coach, sports physical therapist, and career and business coach to physios and health professionals. She specializes in holistic treatment and coaching of active, busy women, teens and professionals.
Julie is fluent in “speaking teenager” and has a passion for helping girls and women find simple ways to fix or prevent health problems without sacrificing their whole lives to do it. She also loves helping health pros do more with less in their businesses or careers so they can spend more time living and less time working.
Dr. Granger loves sharing her passion & knowledge with others as an accomplished speaker. She is an adjunct clinical professor in the Emory University Doctor of Physical Therapy program, from where she also received her DPT degree & performed research on the holistic sports health of girl and teen athletes. She has lectured both nationally and internationally & is faculty member for the Integrative Women’s Health Institute (IWHI).
In early 2017 Julie published her first book, The Young Female Athlete’s Playbook.
As a lifelong elite swimmer & cancer survivor, Dr. Granger knows firsthand what her clients are stacked up against.
Now in an international coaching practice, she helps show women and teens that health is more than a never ending series of appointments, supplements, nutrition changes and out of the box lifestyle changes. Instead, she helps them embody the universal human truth that health begins and ends with the state of mind that we hold.
Dr. Granger swam collegiately at Duke University where she majored in child & adolescent developmental psychology. In her free time she enjoys swimming, being outdoors, drawing and painting, playing the clarinet, and traveling and adventuring with her husband, Daniel, and Labrador pup, Aspen.

Lindsay Vaughn asks a question that is often asked so Antony decided to make this an episode since so many people want to know about lifting belts. Lindsay's question was actually about a male client she has but the information is very relevant for female athletes and one of the most common questions on Antony's course - The Female Athlete.
Lindsay Vaughn is a CrossFit Games athlete and coach and owner of CrossFit Ballina on the beautiful NSW north coast.

Amy Eicher’s SIJ Pain Story
Show notes by Elaine Stevenson of The Myotherapy Reading Room - https://www.patreon.com/MyotherapyReadingRoom - see below for more details.
Amy Eicher is an Author, Speaker, Pain Coach, clinician, athlete, and mother of two who, having spent years trying to get back her life from the abyss of pain, now focuses on empowering women with persistent pain to restore their lives through movement, self-discovery and education.
In this podcast, Amy speaks with Antony and Marika about her journey from being an elite level swimmer via a painful injury which was attributed to a ligamentous strain in the SI joint, which took her out of the pool and which culminated in years of pain, tears and frustration followed by surgery which failed to deliver the promised resolution.
In telling her story, the discussion covers the following:
- how explanations and environment influence pain;
- the role of fear;
- Amy’s journey through different therapists, therapeutic approaches and explanations, including physical therapy, surgery and medication;
- how living with pain has the potential to shrink one’s world;
- the importance of being able to get back to things that mattered (eg swimming, friends);
- strategies for managing pain and flare-ups;
- getting out of the abyss;
- recognising positives;
- challenging believes and why it’s not always the most important facet of care;
- understanding communication styles and needs;
- calming stuff down; and
- building stuff up.
