Even if you have just started out as a physio (or are a physio in training)…

I suspect you are already ‘fearful’ of the shoulder!

Shoulder injuries can be notoriously tricky to manage.

This is not helped by the fact that most of the hands-on treatments and rehab exercises you were taught at University to treat shoulder pain… 

Simply do not work!

So what do you do instead?

In this week’s podcast episode you will discover 3 top tips to help you make sense of your shoulder pain patient’s…

And learn what rehab exercises and methods to follow to get on top of shoulder pain (and keep it at bay)!

Enjoy the show!

3 Tips To Shoulder Pain Success

Reverse engineering a rehab plan means starting with the patient's desired outcome and working backwards to design a structured and effective treatment plan.

This approach ensures that every step of the rehab process, not just end stage rehab, is purpose-driven, targeted, and aligned with the patient's ultimate goals, leading to more efficient and successful outcomes.

But how do you do this?

Listen to this week's podcast episode to discover the 5 key steps to reverse engineer a rehab plan...

To ensure your patient (or athlete) is ready to return to higher level activities, like running or sport...

And won't break down again!

Enjoy the show!

My Big On-Field F$*k Up

You need to catch knee ligament injuries as early as you can (and don't mis-diagnose them)...

Or the consequences are not great!

Plus...

Rest is not best for any injury...

And knee ligament injuries are no different.

Unless that is...

You want the quads to waste away and give yourself a bigger task to get your patient back to full fitness.

I'm guessing not!

Achieving A Quiet Knee Post Surgery

Experience is widely overrated.

Yet 99% of employers use experience as a hard-stick to try employ the best physio’s.

This makes zero sense.

Surely the best physio’s (the ones that can actually get patient’s better)…

Should get the best jobs…

Not the physio’s that have the most experience, right?

This would make more sense, yet in reality it is not how things work…

And is the main reason so many new grads, like you, struggle to get their foot in the door when they first start out.

If you have little experience how then can you get around this big career barrier?

Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn more!!!

And that dream job in sport, the NHS or private practice.

Making Sense of Ankle Pain

Throughout all stages of your physio career you will experience high’s and low’s.

The high of finishing your degree…

Followed quickly by the common low of finding it hard to get your first job.

The high of nailing a patient’s rehab plan…

To the low of a bad week in the clinic whereby nothing seems to be going right…

No matter how hard you try!

In this week’s podcast I give you my biggest tip to ensure you enjoy the ‘high’s’…

And ensure that you turn don’t dwell on the ‘lows’ too much…

And turn these ‘lows’ into opportunities to get better and become the best physio you can be…

In the fastest time possible!

Enjoy the show!
