KY WYNNE

Ky recently recorded a podcast episode on the Physio Insights Podcast (run by Jimmy Picard), discussing all things running and plyometrics for runners. Ky and Jimmy discuss the recent Strength and Conditioning Journal Article on Plyometrics for Runners, talk about Ky's new business Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy, and dive into the technical details around why runners should include plyometrics and what should be considered by coaches when prescribing them. The podcast episode c

I am delighted to introduce Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy. As many of you know, my business partner Emma Hoy and I have been working hard behind the scenes, and after months of planning and building, we are excited to open the doors at Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy, and welcome referrals from healthcare professionals across Melbourne. We have designed a business around sound evidence-based frameworks, performance and criteria based testing, high-performance physiotherapy, col

I am a running physio working out of Melbourne (see here) and incorporating plyometrics with my athletes is something I not only value, but is highly evidence based! However, plyometrics isn't as simple as "everyone does the same thing" and "one size fits all". There are considerations needed around baseline capacity, injury history, training history, athlete goals, competition timing, starting volume/complexity.. and much more. All runners who are interested in commencing a

I am really pleased and proud to get this article, 'Understanding and Prescribing Plyometrics for Endurance Runners', published in the Strength & Conditioning Journal. As many know, getting articles published in highly reputable, peer reviewed journal, is always a big undertaking. I've always been a big fan of highly applicable research, and this paper is that. The article dives into a detailed evidence review on plyometrics, including breaking down many of the key studies in

I'm a little biased with this, but I think if I've written them.. there's probably something worth reading in there. These articles canvas a range of topics, from running through to injury recovery and burnout in physiotherapy. Designed for athletes, runners, clinicians and motivated coaches/trainers.

Do you like learning and sharing knowledge as much as I do? Well, you'll be happy to know not only am I sharing 20 slides from recent lectures and presentations below, I'm also doing free educational workshops and webinars through my clinic Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy (see educational program here). As many of you know, I lecture and tutor at university, have some research involvement in multiple spaces, am more than happy to discuss my love and knowledge of running over pod

I'm a big advocate for the mantra of "never stop learning!". As a student, as an athlete, as a health professional (or any professional for that matter). I have adopted this mindset myself during my career, and look to bring this into how I approach patient care. Throughout my varied roles roles over the years, including at RMIT (current) and Swinburne (former) universities, invitations to talk at Melbourne University and invited online workshops for training organisations, A

2026 has been busy, filled with starting a family (welcome little Luca), starting a business (Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy - Caulfield North.. coming soon!), a few short getaways (Tassie, Port Fairy, and recently New Zealand - see travel highlights), some research publications (see featured projects here), some positive advocacy in the profession (see APA update here), teaching the RMIT Physiotherapy students (running mechanics, lower limb injuries, knee injuries), a few ABC

Following on from the traction and impact of the Burnout in Physiotherapy blog published online in 2023, Ky has become involved in the advocacy space, particularly around education and awareness of burnout in the physiotherapy profession, along with discussing strategies for mitigating the risk and improving the workplace / industry factors that may influence. This has included numerous podcast appearances, online interviews and discussions, and recently in 2026, the publicat

Ky Wynne recently delivered another Runner’s Edge online webinar, this time discussing the topic of Running Technique. This webinar, led by Melbourne running physio Ky Wynne, founder of Athlete's Edge Physiotherapy (Caulfield, Bayside, Melbourne) , focused on running technique and its relationship to performance and injury risk. Ky presented evidence-based information about normal running biomechanics, including gait phases, muscle demands during running, and how technique fa

Regular personal development and targeted clinical learning is something I value, and a principle I preach to all students and early career health professionals (all physios really!). Starting 2026 with a high quality personal development course like the Sports Map Acute to Capacity knee conference was a good call! High quality speakers, great networking and some thought provoking discussions. Many of the principles discussed already form part of the Athlete's Edge Physiother

After a successful and engaging interview on ABC NSW on the 9th February ( see info here ), Ky Wynne was invited by ABC South Australia to discuss ACL injuries with Matt Stephens during the breakfast program.
