Femme FC Podcast | Episode 9. The 5 Pillars of Female Athlete Health in Professional Women's Soccer

Описание: This episode of the Femme FC Podcast features a detailed conversation on female athlete health with physiotherapist and researcher Suren Vata. Suren oversees the female athlete health program at Charlton Athletic FC Women and recently presented his five pillar framework at the Arsenal Sports Medicine Conference.

We explore each of the five pillars that shape Charlton's approach:

• Biomechanics: how movement screening, warm ups, and individualized coaching can reduce injury risk
• Pelvic Floor Health: why specialist support matters and how regular consultancy care has improved practice
• Menstrual Cycle Tracking: how education, symptom monitoring, and RED-S awareness support player well being
• Pregnancy Support: how to build prepartum and postpartum pathways that allow players to continue their careers
• Bra and Breast Health: the impact of proper sports bra fitting on both comfort and performance

We also talk about the growing collaboration within the Women’s Super League, shared injury surveillance systems, and how clubs are learning from one another to elevate standards across the women’s game.

If you are a physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach, sport scientist, athletic trainer, or someone who cares about women’s football, this conversation offers practical insights you can bring directly into your environment.
