Bone Health, RED-S and Sleep with Wales FA Doctor, Dr Jon Houghton

Why do stress fractures keep happening, even in elite athletes? And what actually separates a great rehab process from one that fails? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Jon Houghton, Sports Medicine Consultant at the Fortius Clinic and Chief Medical Officer for the Football Association of Wales and Surrey Cricket Club, for an exclusive deep dive into bone stress injuries, rehab and recovery across elite sport and everyday athletes. With experience spanning elite football, international cricket, endurance sport and military performance, Jon shares rare insight into why bones fail, how stress fractures develop, and what truly drives successful rehabilitation, beyond rest and guesswork. We explore how training load, biomechanics, RED-S, hormones, sleep and recovery behaviours interact to either build resilience or create injury risk, and why many athletes return too soon, or never fully recover. In this episode, we cover: • Why stress fractures happen, and why some athletes tolerate load while others break • The hidden role of RED-S and low energy availability in bone failure • Pars injuries in cricketers and lower-limb stress fractures in runners & footballers • How biomechanics and loading shape bone strength and injury risk • What elite athletes do differently during rehab, and why it works • Tools like MBST, LIPUS and when medication can support bone healing • How to structure a safe, confident return-to-play pathway • Practical strategies to reduce injury risk and recover smarter Who this episode is for: • Athletes dealing with recurring stress fractures or bone injuries • Runners, footballers, cricketers and endurance athletes • Clinicians, coaches and rehab professionals • Anyone currently rehabbing an injury and worried about long-term recovery 🎙️ Powered by Mayfair Health At Mayfair Health, we specialise in recovery, performance and proactive wellness.
