About this listen

At WRAP IT UP: Sports Medicine + More our mission is to shine a light and educate the public about the importance of medical care for athletes at all levels.

We accomplish this by producing high-quality, diverse programming designed to highlight a critical and underappreciated field. We explore sports medicine while covering topics such as injury prevention, recovery, and the psychological impacts of athletic injuries. By featuring expert guests from a wide range of fields, we provide well-rounded insights that are informative, engaging, and accessible to a broad audience.

Join us as we work to make sports medicine less niche and more mainstream, ensuring that more people recognize the value of this essential healthcare field.

  • Helping Hands
    Jun 26 2025

    In this episode, Dr. Mary Mundrane-Zweiacher, a Certified Hand Therapist at Premier Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, joins Eli Hallak. Together, they explore her journey from a Pre-Med Biology major aspiring to be a doctor to becoming a practitioner of the "Holy Trinity" (PT, ATC, and CHT). They discuss how to bring Sports Medicine to Hand Therapy—and Hand Therapy to Sport—why marching bands need Athletic Trainers just as much as athletic teams do, how giving patients a modicum of control fosters greater therapy “buy-in,” and why it’s essential to always believe in yourself and your knowledge. After all, unless there’s an orthopedic surgeon present, you are the expert.
