Alistair Beverley was speaking at Therapy Expo on Learning Disabilities and Diagnostic Overshadowing which is a vitally important and yet very poorly known subject amongst MSK Therapists. We couldn't miss this opportunity to ask him some questions about. 

Farouk Bello is behind the mic and discusses with Ali moving on to the lack of teaching at university level and how to avoid the common mistakes made by Health Care Professionals when they see People with a Learning Disability for treatment of MSK conditions.

The Physio Matters Team went to Therapy Expo and recorded podcasts over the 2 day event on their stand / make shift recording studio with some of the biggest names in the industry! 

Claire Minshull has been leading the way in Exercise Prescription and has made strides into the world of Osteoarthritis with JointApproach. This is an amazing project that clinicians can get involved with. As you will hear it takes a multi-faceted approach to managing Osteoarthritis and it really is best in class. 

Jack used the opportunity to ask Claire about utilising heavy lifting and the  safety profile of these exercises. A brilliant chat!

Jo chats with eternally curious, insightful and humble Joanne Elphinston about her recent article "Changing the conversation:an embodied coaching approach in the clinical session"  We discuss, - how the conventional therapist-patient power dynamic might be depleting your energy reserves  -  the benefits of loosening our grip on the "expert fixer" identity - the gulf between informing and educating for meaningful learning -  cognitively based teaching vs a sensory experience for real patient engagement - how genuine partnership with your patient doesn't mean withholding expertise

Finding myself at short notice without a guest for session 20, I enlisted the help of my good friend Martin Christensen to stand in as guest host and interview me, on my own podcast about some things that have been rattling around in my brain.  

We talk about resourcefulness as an antidote to perfectionism, accepting the unacceptable parts, my own uncomfortable journey with boundaries and cheerleading for self-indulgence and idleness.

WE ARE BACK, we said we would do some special episodes and we absolutely couldn't turn away the opportunity to interview the one and only Lorimer Moseley who is, of course, an absolute legend.

You won't get an interview with Lorimer like this anywhere else.

- Is nociception necessary for pain?

- Is pain a sensation or a perception?

It is all answered and a whole lot more!

A client asked me recently some really interesting questions around what the pre-requisites for successful coaching might be, and whether there are ever coaching failures. I dig into these questions and many more sub-questions with ex-physio and highly experienced coach Lisa Wynn. This one is a must for clinicians, coaches, aspiring coaches and anyone wondering if they might benefit from coaching.
