The Go-To Physio

In Episode 7 we talk all about terminal knee extension exercises. These are commonplace in many rehab programs, especially post-op, but are there better alternatives?

Tune in to hear how I modify these exercises to get quicker, longer lasting results with my athlete’s.

Designing treatment plans should be our bread and butter, but in my experience of mentoring 100s of other therapists, many are lacking direction in their treatments. Each session follows the next with no real plan in place to link them all together.

In this week's episode, I share with you how I design my treatment plans. This system has helped me get some excellent results, and build a 5 treatment room clinic with 15 staff on a great word of mouth reputation.

In this week's episode, I share with you a formula that really resonates with my treatment approach.

This formula is the reason why I place so much emphasis on effective explanation in the very first session. 

It’s also why I continually come back to the treatment plan with the patient at the end of each session so that expectations are met.

Following on from episode 3, in this episode of The Go-To Physio, I share with you a test that I use all the time in the clinic to assess hamstring load tolerance. If you’ve listened to episode 3, you’ll know how important the hamstring is for glute function, so this test is very useful to me to ensure my athlete’s and patient’s are safe to return to sprinting, running, and lifting. 

This test is just a small part of my overall objective assessment and I use the findings to link with the other tests to form a hypothesis of what the problem is. It’s not a magic “find all” RCT tested technique, but it gives me very useful information to guide my treatment plan.

In episode 3 I make a confession - I used to prescribe glute exercises for everything! As I began to gain more experience, I had to deal with some really tricky injuries with a number of elite players at various professional clubs that I was working with, so I had to gain a deeper understanding of how the glute actually works in function. 

In this episode I share with you my understanding of the glute max, and how it relies on a good co-contraction of the gastroc and hamstring with the quad to be successful. This is important for anyone who would like to return running, dead lifting in the gym, squatting and any other activity where you need good glute strength.

In episode 2 of The Go-To Physio, I break down how to make sense of the objective assessment and being able to link it to the patient’s story. Doing this successfully is what allows me to be successful at steps one and two of my business growth plan (which I discussed in detail on episode 1). 

Unless the therapist is clear on the problem and the solution they have no hope of being able to explain this clearly to the patient, and if they can’t explain it to the patient clearly then it’s hard for the patient to adhere to the treatment plan. That’s why I spend so much time on effective explanation with my own therapists and those that I mentor on my mentorship.

In this very first episode of The Go-To Physio, I will be revealing my EXACT 7 step business growth plan of how I MAXIMISED my clinical skills to build a profitable private practice. 

Following these steps allowed me to build my clinic from a small dingy treatment room above a running shop to now owning a 5 treatment room clinic and having 12 staff run the business without me being there.

In this episode I will share with you why it's so important to have clarity on the problem and solution to the patient problem, why communication skills are more important than business skills as you start to grow your practice and how YOU can build a practice that gives you the financial freedom to live the life you want.
