On this week’s episode, we are joined by Dr Louise Tulloh to dive into the biopsychosocial realm of patient management in sport and exercise medicine. Dr Tulloh was recently elected as President of The Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) and has been practicing sport and exercise medicine for over 20 years.

In this 20-minute podcast, we discuss:

· Why we should all take a more biopsychosocial approach in SEM

· How to explore a patient’s individual psychosocial factors

· How to ask about a patient’s motivation to get better

· Tips for shared decision making

· How to discuss weight loss with patients

· What makes a patient ‘complex’
