How to Prevent Injuries and Alleviate Existing Conditions

In today's episode of Hilary Topper on Air, learn how to prevent injuries and alleviate existing conditions with an expert, Craig DiGiovanni, CEO of Medi-Dyne Healthcare Products. 

Here are some of the questions I asked him:

• Could you start by giving us an overview of Medi-Dyne and how it has evolved to support triathletes and endurance athletes?
• What are some common issues you see regarding injury prevention and recovery, and how do your products specifically address these challenges?
• Chafing is a significant concern for endurance athletes, especially during long races. Can you tell us about the 2Toms SportShield and how it works to prevent chafing?
• What’s the difference between 2Toms SportShield and the SportShield XTRA? In what scenarios would an athlete prefer the XTRA version?
• How should triathletes incorporate SportShield into their race day preparation to avoid discomfort and skin irritation?
• Calf injuries and tightness are common issues for runners and triathletes. Can you explain how the ProStretch Plus Adjustable Calf and Foot Stretcher helps with stretching and injury prevention?
• How does the ProStretch Plus differ from traditional stretching techniques, and why is it more effective in treating conditions like calf strains or plantar fasciitis?
• Many athletes deal with tight calves due to the repetitive nature of running and cycling. How often should they be using the ProStretch Plus to maintain flexibility and avoid injury?

• Plantar fasciitis is a debilitating condition for athletes. Could you discuss how your products, besides the ProStretch Plus, help alleviate the symptoms and speed up recovery?
• Do you have any upcoming innovations or lesser-known products that address plantar fasciitis that athletes might find useful?
• What advice would you give to a triathlete dealing with plantar fasciitis in the middle of their training season?
• Given the nature of triathlon training, how can athletes maintain a balance between training hard and preventing injuries like chafing and plantar fasciitis?
• What role does product consistency and routine play in preventing these common triathlete issues, especially with products like SportShield and ProStretch?
• And finally, Craig, how can our listeners get in touch with you or learn more about Medi-Dyne?
