Hi everyone

Welcome to episode 24 of Caitlin Daley Physio the podcast.

I'm so grateful to have Bonnie Gibbs as my guest today, talking to me about her experience moving into the elite level within the sport of Crossfit.

Bonnie has just qualified for the Torian Pro Elite crossfit comp which you can read more about here: https://www.torianpro.com/

Bonnie is a Physiotherapist living in Christchurch New Zealand, she's a Crossfit Coach and recently engaged to her now fiance Sam. 
Bonnie talks about the reality of competiting at a high level, the demands on her from a physical/emotional perspective, the reality of nutrition to fuel her sport, and much much more.

I loved this chat so much, and can't wait to have Bonnie on after her comp to here all about it.

You're probably not surprised to hear the education piece for this episode is on Stress Urinary Incontinence, given its super high prevalence among the elite athletic female population. 

Jump over to Youtube to watch me explain the pathophysiology of SUI and some of the factors I will consider as your pelvic physio when helping you with this treatable condition so you can perform BETTER!
