Episode 138: Subsequent and Recurrent Injuries (SRIs) in Football

In this episode of the ACA Podcast, host Dr Kim Lie Jom sits down with Dr Alex Pucciarelli to explore his thesis on “Subsequent and Recurrent Injuries (SRIs) in Football (Soccer).” Alex unpacks the incidence, severity, risk factors, and distribution of SRIs, and offers key recommendations for sports organisations and researchers based on his systematic review.

He also shares his firsthand experience working as a sports chiropractor with Blacktown City FC in a semi-elite football environment. Alex offers practical advice on what to expect, how to approach the role, and how to earn respect and trust in the field.
