I'm a specialist Sport and Exercise Physician with a special interest in endurance sports.
I've been on Slowtwitch for years (about 6 according to my profile but I could've sworn it has been longer)
I don't post much and I generally try to avoid the topics discussing medical complaints and requesting advice as giving that sort of instruction over an internet forum is fraught with danger.
Anyway, I've started writing regular articles about relevant issues in sports medicine from supplement use to recovery strategies to management of common conditions.
If anyone is interested they can follow me at;
https://www.facebook.com/drgarycouanis/
The facebook site has been operational for a couple of months and has heaps of articles that have already been posted.
In future I will be posting to twitter as well;

If you want to read some specific topics, I'll list a few here;
Stress Fractures
Cortisone Injections
What is more important: Diet or Exercise?
Exercise and Cancer
Busting Myths (ice baths, magnesium, stretching)
Busting Myths II (massage, topical ice, topical gels, compression socks)
Supplement Contamination and WADA
Buttock Pain in Runners
To rest or not to rest an injury?
High Intensity Interval Training - good or bad?
Like I said, follow if you find it interesting. I'd love to hear feedback, questions and suggestions.
Thanks.
