Preventing Muscle wastage in older adults and acutely ill

Here is an interesting podcast from the BBC's Discovery programme:

BBC - BBC World Service Programmes - Discovery, Muscle Wastage

Good food for thought - particularly as it is about not just prevention but reversing wastage.

However it is a pity to note in the podcast that none of the leading edge researchers or clinicians in the area who were interviewed weren't physios :( . Why is it so often that such research and practice is not being led by physios?

Good programme alright, well worth listening to. Maybe the perception of physios in the public eye needs to be changed?
