Self-reflections and practical strategies to build confidence when discussing treatment costs with our patients.

It's possible that in caring TOO MUCH we end up sabotaging our treatment outcomes.

In this episode we explore;

What happens when we make assumptions?

How can I know if I am making assumptions about my client's financial position? Self-reflection questions.

How can I improve my confidence & delivery when discussing treatment costs? Practical strategies.

What are some strategies I can implement to help navigate financial barriers? Clinical tips.

In this episode we explore The Windlass Test and how clinicians can get more 'bang for buck' with the information this test can provide.

Many clinicians may utilise objective tests to identify what pathology they may be dealing with.

However, many stumble when it comes to figuring out the selection and timing of the therapeutic interventions that may be beneficial to aid their client's recovery.

In this episode we explore how we can use the information gathered from performing the Windlass Test to select exercises that may better align with an individual's load-tolerating capacity.

ie: prescribing for a PERSON with a pathology, as opposed to simply prescribing for a pathology.

In this episode we talk about the importance of individualising our rehab programs. That is, treating the person NOT just the pathology.

- How should we be using the published Best-Practice Clinical Guidelines?

- What can we standardise & what can we individualise?

Foot orthoses - where do they fit into your clinical management?

Does everyone need orthoses? No

Do those who are prescribed orthoses need them for life? It depends...

What should we consider if we are to make appropriate recommendations & management plans for our patients?

In this episode Podiatrists Talysha & Jackson explore some elements of orthotic prescription that are often equally important (if not more) to the script itself.

In this extended episode Talysha & Jackson talk about their experiences of undertaking post-graduate university studies, and share some insights to consider when deciding if formal post-graduate education is for you.

Dr Doug Ritchie & Rebecca Rushton aka The Blister Pod from @Blister-Prevention joins P3 to deep-dive further into the science, mechanics & management of blisters.

In this episode Talysha & Jackson give clinicians an insight into utilising the VAS (Visual Analog Scale - of Pain) & RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion), to help your clients dose their rehabilitation exercises. 

The inverse relationship is very important for progressively loading tissue, to increase the load-tolerating capacity & restore function.
