Today's episode features Mel Haberfield. Mel is a physiotherapist for North Melbourne in the AFLW, but is also involved with both research and teaching at La Trobe University. Mel has has had the opportunity see the full scope of students' transition into a physio, and as such is an amazing person to give insight on this topic. Mel shares plenty of her wisdom, however my top 3 takeaways are:

1. Firstly your main asset leaving uni should be the ability to reflect and be self-aware; the theoretical knowledge will come
2. Secondly, you don’t have to do everything with a patient in one session; we can’t fix people in 20 minutes
3. Thirdly, physios are in the business of behaviour change ; to change people's behaviour, you have to connect with them. I’m really looking forward to this, I hope you enjoy!

Today's episode features Peter O'Sullivan. Peter is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Curtin University in Perth. He has published over 280 journal articles, and is widely recognised as a leader in back pain research. Peter will share many key takeaways for new grads, however my top 3 are:

1.  Firstly, manual therapy can be a great way to communicate to the patient that moving and relaxing is safe and relieving 
2.  Secondly, scans for low back pain are typically only needed if you're suspecting a red flag or something sinister
3. Lastly encouraging co-contraction of the deep core muscles is counter-intuitive and not evidence based for patients who are already muscle guarding                                                       I’m really looking forward to this and I hope you enjoy it!

Today's episode features Dr Ebonie Rio.  Ebonie is a researcher at La Trobe University, and has a PhD in tendon pain. Ebonie has worked in many different settings, from the Australian Ballet to the Australian institute of sport, and as such is an amazing person to have as the inaugural guest on this show. Today Ebonie will share a number of key takeaways for new grads regarding tendon pain, however my top 3 for listeners are:

1.  How to differentiate between tendinopathies and peritendon pain 
2. The importance of de-loading in tendinopathies, but not resting.
3.  Lastly, the importance of ‘cross education’ or continuing to train your uninjured side. 

 I can’t wait to get in to this episode, I hope you enjoy it!
