In this episode with Dr Margo Mountjoy we explore the role of physiotherapists in assessing and treating Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). We discuss the definition of REDs, its connection to amenorrhea and pelvic floor dysfunction, and the importance of education in prevention. Learn about the long-term bone health effects, the necessity of early recognition and referral, and strategies for managing decreased energy availability to protect athletes' health.

Want to learn more about REDs? Margo recently did a brilliant Masterclass with us, called “Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport” where she goes into further depth on everything Physiotherapists need to know about REDs.
