Please don’t miss this week’s podcast episode (29): Pilates & Yoga in Sport

As athletes, we’re training harder and competing more, yet injuries and burnout are increasing. In this episode, the real value of Pilates and Yoga in sport is unpacked, not just for flexibility, but as powerful tools for performance and rehabilitation. Dr Siya is joined by Marelee Fourie, physiotherapist, Pilates instructor, and founder of Marelee Fourie Physiotherapy in Johannesburg.
