Simplifying Shoulder Pain

I got shoulder pain patient management wrong (a lot) as a new grad.

I used to hate treating shoulders because the results I got were so variable and I could just not put my finger on why!

Something was missing… 

And I’ll be honest, it took me a while to work this out (10+ years)!  

Nowadays, shoulders are something I relish.  

I have found 3 things central to getting success with shoulder pain patients…

And you can hear them all in this week’s podcast episode.

Enjoy the show!

3 Key Steps To Shoulder Pain Success

It is so easy to treat the wrong shoulder pain problem. 

You find a ACJ problem...

So you treat the ACJ.

You diagnose a rotator cuff, bursa or proximal bicep injury, so you focus your attention on that injury...

Even though your patient does not actually have a problem at that part of the shoulder!

WTF!!!

Why would you expect your patient to improve if you are treating the wrong thing?

Listen to this week's podcast episode to learn more.
Enjoy the show!

PS. In the podcast I referred to my recent shoulder pain training ⁠'Simplifying The Shoulder.'⁠

When Shoulder Pain Is NOT A Shoulder Problem

It is hard work being a physio.

You try your very best to help every patient that walks through your clinic door and I am sure for most patients you do help them.

But there are some that you can not seem to help.

You question yourself if you are good enough to do your job.

This is imposter syndrome. 

And it is not nice to feel like this, right?

If this sounds like you then this week’s podcast episode is a must listen!

Enjoy the show!

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

When rehab goes wrong...

Either you are doing the right rehab the wrong way...

Or more often than not...

You have missed something out during the rehab process.

This is almost always the case with patients that break down and re-injure...

Or those that seem to bounce from one injury to another.

Listen to this week podcast episode where I present a case study of patient I saw just last week in the clinic...

That had failed more traditional achilles tendon based rehab...

Having 'recovered' and re-injured 4 times, with 3 different therapists over a 12 month period...

And the reason this kept happening (no one had worked this out)!

Enjoy the show!

PS. I use a checklist, AKA my ⁠6 Step Rehab Planner⁠ to ensure every patient or athlete I work with is ready to progress to higher level activities like this.

Having a ⁠step by step rehab guide⁠ takes out the guesswork for you and your patient.

I have now taught this system to 100's of therapists who using right now with their own patients and athletes.

Is this something you think could help you?

The Missing Link In Rehab

Being able to build rapport with your patients is vital to help you connect with your patient...

To ensure they feel safe to handover important personal information (like their past medical history, psycho-social issues and social history) during the subjective assessment...

That helps you make sense of your patient's injury.

This all starts with being able to make a great first impression...

Then keep that connection with your patient throughout the treatment plan and your sessions together.

So how do you do this?

Blood Flow Restriction Training In Rehab

As a new grad it is common to experience feelings of doubt and uncertainty...

You have to realise that University can only teach you so much.

It gets you to the start line, to graduation...

But where you go from there is up to you.

Listen to this week's podcast to discover 4 strategies that I found useful when I was in your shoes, ready to graduate and enter the real world of work...

Strategies I still use to this day as not so young 'new grad' that qualified back in 2010!
