The Flexing Physio

This week, we have the pleasure to chat with Nadeena, the Head2toe physio about what you can do if your patient just isn't responding to your treatment. As a new grad, I had this unhelpful expectation that all my patients would improve with my 'magical' physio input. The reality of the matter is that not EVERYONE will get better. The body heals itself, and it's our job to educate and work with our patient and guide them onto the right path to facilitate the best environment for healing. In this episode we explore options of what physios can do if their patient just isn't improving, from referring to specialist physios, to checking all the red flags and checking within yourself to see if you're missing something. 

We hope you enjoy.
