Listen Later

Natalie talks to Bob Allen, an osteopath who specialises in treating people with disabilities and older adults. Bob shares his personal journey of transitioning from a career in IT to becoming an osteopath after his son was born with cerebral palsy. He also talks about the challenges of navigating the healthcare system for chronic conditions and the lack of support for people with disabilities.

It's a conversation about the power of communication, the impact of stress on the body, and the importance of being an advocate for one's own health. Bob also shares his experience of running health and fitness courses for people with disabilities and his commitment to making a difference in the lives of their clients.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Confidence in oneself and the willingness to take on new challenges can lead to personal and professional growth.
  • It is important to understand the root cause of a problem and not just focus on treating the symptoms.
  • The healthcare system, particularly the NHS, may not always provide the best support for chronic or long-term conditions.
  • Being proactive and advocating for one's own health can lead to better outcomes and access to necessary treatments.
  • Virtual reality therapy is an emerging field that has the potential to enhance traditional therapies and improve patient outcomes.

    • BEST MOMENTS

    "I think the biggest problem the NHS, it's very good around treating conditions, rather than preventing those conditions in the first place." 

    "It's about not worrying if it doesn't work... If that doesn't work, I'll find another way to do it."

    "You can't hack certain things. The only thing that gets results is consistency." 

    "I think we're in a society which is very much a quick fix... I want to do it tomorrow. I want a hack that's going to show me how to do that."
