Today I spoke to Professor Kwang Lim and Cindy Phan at the Royal Melbourne Hospital on the topic of Dementia! 

Kwang is a Geriatrician who works as the Clinical Director for Medicine and Aged Care at Royal Melbourne Hospital. He has an interest in dementia, falls and functional decline in older people

Cindy finished uni at the same time as me in 2021, and has experience ranging from general medicine and intensive care to community rehabilitation. She is particularly passionate about neurological conditions, falls prevention and gerontology. 

Together, they started Bryta - an exercise and brain training program designed for anyone over 60 years of age who would like to exercise their brain and body at the same time

As I learnt today, combining cognitive and physical activity is particular effective for those with dementia, which is what Bryta's program is all about!

Check out my recent Instagram post which showcases some of the tech they use - it's really cool!

Today I spoke with Josh Naunton all about Exercise for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy! Josh is a clinician and researcher who is based in Bendigo, Victoria. He completed his PhD investigating the best type of exercise for rotator cuff related shoulder pain; there's probably not too many people better versed to talk about this topic! 

We chat about his PhD and what he found, isometrics vs heavy slow resistance vs eccentrics, helping people who are in lots of pain, how important true strength is, and much more. 

I hope you enjoy!

Today I spoke to Kit Wisdom at her 'clinic' (clinic doesn't do it justice!) called Wise Physiotherapy in Yarraville, Melbourne.

Kit is a physiotherapist trained in Hakomi, a Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, with a Master’s in Wellbeing Science. Her approach integrates physical health with emotional and mental well-being, recognising how deeply they influence one another. Kit believes true well-being comes from seeing the whole picture and affirming our complexity. Grounded in presence, connection, and honesty, she guides people to tune into their body’s wisdom and explore how it shapes their experiences, fostering greater clarity and understanding.

Today was a very free-flowing chat, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We spoke about lots of things, such as the role we have as physios in setting up a comfortable and inviting space for our clients, including the dynamic between us, typical roles we fall into and the problems this can create, checking in with yourself, slowing down, and so much more. 

I'm sure you'll take plenty out of this episode, enjoy!

Today I met up with Dr Free Coulston at The University of Melbourne to discuss how we can help kids to enjoy and increase their physical activity! 

It's certainly a different topic to many others that I've previously covered, but I learnt so much from Free! She's doing some amazing work in this space, and it was a pleasure to chat to her. 

We speak about our role as physios in this space, guidelines kids should be aiming for, how to work alongside parents to help their kids, considerations for those with a disability, and much more. 

Free is currently working on a project whereby she is looking to recruit parents of pre-school aged kids who were born pre-term. Her team is then aiming to help get them involved with local organisations who can help boost their levels of physical activity - eg karate clubs or inclusive sports clubs !  Check out my Instagram for more information - @clinical.pearls, as well as here : https://redcap.unimelb.edu.au/surveys/?s=HARHL4XJJNR7CAKT
