Luke and Lauren Bertram are the co-owners of Physiopod, Podiatry & Physiotherapy Geelong. Luke is a podiatrist, and his wife Lauren is a physiotherapist, and together they have created a professional working synergy based on open communication and ongoing education.

They both agree they have learnt a tremendous amount from each other, which has led to improved patient treatment outcomes.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Their working history: Luke spent several years in the UK while Lauren worked with the Australian Winter Olympic Team.
• Booking the patients in for the right practitioner.
• The Collective Body Consult, it's brilliant.
• Having a genuine interest in each other professions has made them better communicators with their patients because they ask better questions.
• Ankle ROM and Incontinence.
• The difference between Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary patient care. They are not the same.
• How they marketed their services together.
• Developing relationships and opening lines of communication will increase your referrals.

Final Tip

If you're working with a physiotherapist, make them aware of what you like to treat or have a particular interest in. You may find it's an area they don't want to treat, and they may be unaware you can help in this area.
