The Flexing Physio

Ladeeez and gentlenuts, my big bro and his family were visiting us in Melbourne a few weeks ago, so I took the rare opportunity to sit him down and pick his brain, especially on how us physios can LISTEN and COMMUNICATE better with our patients.

We all get those patients who trauma dump on us when they’re really just there for their knee pain 😂 How much of that do we validate, and when do we need to recognise that something is outside our scope? How do we navigate these conversations, and when and how do we refer them to someone actually qualified to help with their mental health?

All these questions and more in today’s episode. Hope you enjoy our chats!!

Ladeeez and Gentlenuts, this has been one of my fav episodes to record to date!! Teneka and I have been connected via IG for about a year now and she and her awesome mum (heidi) are in melbourne for the marathon weekend yewww!! So what a rare opportunity it is to have her as a guest on the podcast. I hope you enjoy our yarn as much as I did :)

LADEEEEZ AND GENTLENUTS!!!!! First of all, welcome BACK to the flexing physio podcast, it has truly been a minute. BUT we are back and going to be regular with recording and uploading because this brings uncle dan so much joy :')

In today's episode we meet Pat the EP. Pat works in the community and has in the past few years been creating content on social media and has gotten to the point where he is given lots of fun opportunities such as running the sydney marathon with yopro and doing other cool stuff!! If you need a sign to begin documenting your life, THIS IS IT!!!

Enjoy the episode guys, this one was special for me :D

ladeeeez and gentlenuts!!! Today we have the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Eliza Whitford, sport and pelvic physio. She is also early in her career and she gives us great tips on burn out risk reduction, communication with patients and how to screen for RED-S in athletes. She is a wealth of knowledge and we shared lots of laughs and insights in this episode. Happy listening!!

wasssup laddeeez and gentlenuts, in today's episode, we meet and chat with luke poon, a fellow physio who's been in the profession for a number of years now. It was great to explore his brain with his wealth of knowledge when it comes to ACL movement re-training. He does run courses too, so have your eyes peeled for a course running near you!! Without further delay, I hope you enjoy today's episode.

wasssuppp ladeez and gentlenuts, in today's episode, we have the pleasure of meeting my new hire and staff... mr adrian lucido who is a fellow physiotherapist.

Ladeeez and gentlenuts, in today's episode we invite back an old (not literally of course) guest by the name of MICK HUGHES!! He is someone I respect as a mate and clinician. I hope you enjoy this episode, as we chat about the earlier couple years of his career and the importance of communication with patients.

wow... what a RAW episode I just had the pleasure to record with the one and only Brittany Romas (AKA Grittany). She recently had a traumatic injury while dropping the deadlift bar as it scraped her R) distal quad. She has had a multitude of scans and if still unclear of the diagnosis. How does she mentally cope with not being able to train like before?? Find out in this very deep and meaningful episode. She is a tough woman and I have lots of respect for her. Thanks again for coming on, it was a pleasure to meet and speak with you!
