Giving A Patient An Accurate Prognosis

I experienced many ups and downs working in elite sport over the last 14 years!

So many of my mistakes, and the subsequent lessons learned, have been invaluable…

And have helped me progress my clinical skills no end.

Not only has this helped me become a better physio in sport…

Truth be told, sport and private practice (and the NHS) are not all that different…

And in this week’ podcast episode you will find out why…

And discover 3 of my biggest lessons learned over the years…

So you can avoid the same mistakes I made…

And get great patient or athlete results, even as a young and inexperienced therapist!

Enjoy the show!

Overcoming Overwhelm As A New Grad Physio

Life as a new grad physio is much more challenging than you thought…

And not quite what your University lecturers told you, right?

Many new grads wrongly believe that just getting more experience is key…

That magically when you hit 1, 2 or 3 years post Uni, you suddenly become a great physio.

Unfortunately, this is not how it works.

Furthermore, not all learning is helpful and some CPD can actually give you more overwhelm as you struggle to apply the new skills and knowledge you have learnt!

In this week’s podcast you will discover how to avoid the new grad CPD ‘trap’ …

So you ensure any learning you do actually helps you become a better physio…

And how to use your ‘inexperience’ as new graduate as a superpower…

Rather than something that holds you back!

Enjoy the show!!!

Making Inexperience A Superpower As A New Grad Physio

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.

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)!

Where To Start EVERY Patient's Rehab Plan

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!
