The New Grad Physio Podcast

When rehab goes wrong...

It usually happens at two specific points in the rehab process.

The most common is when patients (and athletes) progress to higher level activities like running, the gym, or sport.

The other?

Most physio’s miss this completely, and in many cases, this error actually causes many of the higher level rehab flare ups you see when patients progress to those higher level activities.

Want to know what it is?

Listen to this week’s podcast to find out.

It’s probably not what you think it is!

PS. Rehab planning and prescription is one key aspect of physio that is not taught well at physio school.

I know this because it’s one of the main problems new grads have when they first come to work with me.

But the good thing, it’s an easy fix.

Want to learn how to properly plan and prescribe a rehab plan, for any injury, from start to finish, without the fear that patient symptoms will comeback?

Then head here to find out how!

It's easy focus on where you went wrong...

What you are not very good at.

The brain is hardwired to do this.

And whilst you do need to improve your areas of weakness...

It's important you don't forget what you are good at!

Doubling down on your strengths is a quick-fire way to get more consistent positive patient improvements...

And to fast-track your career!

PS. Identifying your superpowers is a key part of being able to stand out from the crowd in an overcrowded job market.

Employers have never had it so easy, given so many therapists are applying for any role they advertise.

As a result, they want more.

They are looking for someone different.

Someone that stands out from the crowd.

Not sure how to do this?

My free job webinar will help!

Graduation season is here, and thousands of new grad physio's are entering one of the most competitive job markets in years.

Yes, jobs are limited.

But new roles are still being advertised.

Sports like football and rugby are coming to the end of their seasons and looking to recruit and private clinics gear up for a busy summer ahead.

The real challenge?

Standing out from the crowd.

Don't make mistake everyone else does by saying things like I'm...

“A great team player” and a “strong communicator.”

Everyone says this.

And if everyone is saying this, how will this help you stand out?

It won't, in fact...

It does the opposite. It helps you blend in...

Exactly the last thing you want to do!

Listen to this week's podcast episode to learn what you can do differently to secure your first physio role.

Because there are jobs out there.

The question is...

Why are other people getting hired and not you?

PS. I was fortunate to have great mentorship when I first started out, that helped me so much.

But I appreciate most new grads are not in an environment like I was and that you don't get that kind if support.

It's part of the reason I set up the new grad physio community to give new grads you like, the support, mentorship and guidance you need.

They say there are only two things guaranteed in life...

Death and taxes.

And their probably not too far wrong!

In this week's podcast episode I discuss 3 physio 'taxes' which are stopping so many new grads from making progress...

Both clinically and professionally.

These hidden 'taxes' are not financial like most taxes, but must be 'paid' if you want to start to get more consistent positive patient results...

And if you want to start climbing the career ladder.
