More Than Macros Ep 36: Treat people, not injuries with Heath Williams


Listen Later

New year, same injury patterns. 

This week on the podcast we’re joined by none other than our favourite manual therapist and owner of Principle 4 Osteopathy, Heath Williams. 

You may remember Heath as our Ergonomics guru from earlier last year, as he sat down to explain the 'do’s and don’ts' of setting up a home office.
 
 This time we’re chatting all things Heath's clinical approach to injury and patient assessment - the importance of understanding  the person sustaining the injury, rather than the just the injury itself - factors which have huge crossover to anyone who works with others in a physical sense.

Heath takes us through:

  • What osteopaths are and how they practice
  • Explaining the ‘biopsychosocial’ model and it’ application
  • How an individual’s belief system about injury / rehabilitation can impact the outcome
  • Debunking some of the misinterpretation that occurs in the dialogue between patients and practitioners. 
  • Determining the best ‘type’ of therapy for a patient
  • Are massage guns legit or placebo
  • The intelligent way to return to activity after an extended hiatus
     
     …and many more.


Heath is extremely knowledgeable and I can personally vouch for the approach he takes into understanding the context, not just the presentation. I really enjoyed getting a look behind the osteopathy curtain and I’m sure you will too!
