IS IT MORE THAN JUST A MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURY?? 🤔
—
RED-S (formerly known as the female athlete triad) has been renamed to better capture its large reach across all genders.
Standing for “relative energy deficiency in sport”, it describes a condition where there is a chronic imbalance between training and recovery that eventually leads to disruption in your body’s ability to metabolically regulate itself.
This can lead to injury, worsen current injury, negatively affect the female menstrual cycle/fertility, reduce labido, reduce mood stability, lower bone density, increase brain fog, and more.
Basically think of RED-s like an ice berg, we see the “tip” like a chronic hamstring injury, but there are MANY factors that are contributing beneath the surface.
That’s why we ask these screening questions to determine if we need to approach your injury from a different lens/tag team with other providers to get you the care that you need to recover.
