190 - Neck Health with UFC Fighter, Mathematician and Osteopath Rosi Sexton
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
Rosi Sexton is a true renaissance woman. She fought in BodogFight, EliteXC, Cage Warriors and was the first British Woman to fight in the UFC. But she's also Cambridge educated with a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science, a musician, a writer and a physical therapist.
So she knows a thing or two...
In this episode we talk about learning new skills, improving in combat sports, and overcoming injuries.
From about 38 minutes on we concentrate on neck injuries and the role of neck strengthening in minimising concussion in combat sports. This is an extremely important episode for all martial artists!
