  • We are TIRED & UNHINGED

    Dear Diary, In episode 85 of The Physio Diaries podcast, Mel & Al are back in their break room talks era. Chaotic, tired, and unfiltered. From missing alarms before a full patient day to questioning if travel PT is still worth it, they get real about the exhaustion, constant moving, and what this lifestyle actually feels like behind the scenes. They also get into their “icks of the month” such as red eye flights, 40-hour work weeks, and healthcare professionals tearing each other down online. The kind of conversations that feel like decompressing with your best friend after a long shift. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or lowkey questioning everything, this one will hit.

  • The 10 Vital Signs You Missed

    Dear Diary, In episode 83 of The Physio Diaries podcast, Mel& Al talk about the 10 vital signs that you never think about. We see hundreds of patients walk through our clinic doors and we can tell a lot about someone's health before they even sit down. They are spilling everything: the 10 functional markers they actually use to assess health that go way beyond your standard blood pressure and heart rate check. From grip strength (spoiler: low grip strength is linked to a 67% higher risk of early death) to whether you can get up off the floor without grabbing the furniture, these are the real-world tests that predict longevity, mobility, and quality of life at every age. See how many you can do and comment your score! Enjoy!
