Episode #25: Maximising Neuromuscular Performance with Dr Myles Murphy

Dion Kapnias

Today I spoke with Dr Myles Murphy; he's a post-doctoral physio and researcher based out of Western Australia at Edith Cowan University. Myles’ research involves investigating the drivers of pain and impairment in people with lower-limb musculoskeletal injury and disability as well as looking at new ways to address these impairments.

We speak about the reasons for reduced neuromuscular drive including pain inhibition and cortical inhibition, why people don't get better, how we can maximise neuromuscular activation, and much more. 

This was a super interesting topic to discuss and I'm sure you'll get plenty out of it!
