Leanne Antoine speaks to Ashley James, a Chartered Physiotherapist who is the National Clinical Educational Lead for Connect Health. Additionally, Ashley has lots of experience across professional sport and occupational health. Together Leanne and Ashley explore the past, the present and the future of Physiotherapy in the public eye.

The pandemic has seen the visibility of physiotherapy increase substantially with various degrees of press coverage from the BBC and The Times to featured pieces in magazines. Physio’s have been highlighted as some of the key people in the management of people recovering from Covid – 19, right from your respiratory physiotherapist who might provide breathing techniques and positioning to the musculoskeletal physio who might provide advice for return to exercise.

Physiotherapy and the ‘what do they really do’ is no longer a secret and the need for the services provided by them will play a pivotal role in the health and wellness of our future.
