Ever feel like your subjective and objective assessments are pole parts...

Almost as if they have nothing to do with one another?

Remember when you were told at Uni that the aim of the subjective assessment was to make a hypothesis as to what your patient's injury might be...
Then you use your objective assessment to test this hypothesis and confirm your patient diagnosis.

Pretty straightforward, right...

But not that easy in real life, right!

Listen to this week's podcast to hear why this happens and how to better transition between your subjective and objective assessments.

Enjoy the show!

Regardless of your patient's injury?

Then head here to find out how!

To really understand your patient you need to understand their symptoms, their thoughts and beliefs around their injury...

And the best way to get them from A to B, from injury and back to full fitness, safely and as quickly as possible (this is the big one)...

Your usual subjective assessment questions are not going to cut it!

Most physio's do not really understand their patient's because they do not ask the right subjective assessment questions...

And this is why so many patients stop doing their rehab exercises.

Learn more about this in this week's podcast episode.

Unless you have seen loads of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries previously it is likely you might not know the best way to manage this type of injury...

Especially given the lack of teaching you were given around these types of problems at University!

So here is some help!

In this episode you will discover some of the key considerations around early MCL injury management including...

- Bracing protocols

- The best types of braces to use

- The clinical reasoning for bracing all grades of MCL injury (this includes Grade 1 injuires)

And I even talk through an example of a high grade MCL injury so you get some context and understand how MCL injury management actually looks in real life!

As a new grad it is common to experience feelings of doubt and uncertainty...

AKA imposter syndrome, as you transition from University to the real world.

You have to realise that University can only teach you so much.

Listen to this week's podcast to discover 4 strategies that I found useful when I was in your shoes, ready to graduate and enter the real world of work...

Strategies I still use to this day as not so young 'new grad' that qualified back in 2010!
