Wild Physio Podcast

Today I welcome Bart Tuohey who is a Physiotherapist at Phytness HealthCare in Wollongong. We discuss Bart's career, current trends in private practice, working as a NDIS Physiotherapist, how to market your business, how to manage staff as a business owner and much more.

Everything you thought you knew about back pain, posture and technique is wrong. (Or at least maybe a little misguided).

Like any industry, there are great physios, and there are poor physios. I wanted to bring Andrew on to provide some insight, some perspective, and some practical take homes so you feel better equipped at knowing who to trust.

We cover:

- What's missing in physiotherapy education.

- Why your core is not the problem.

- How to address hamstring "tightness".

- An updated perspective on posture.

- Why your technique is probably OK.

- The role of genetics in sport.

- How to pick a physio.

Please consider taking a couple of minutes to throw up a podcast review on your favourite platform. It really helps the show. Thanks for your support!

See ya in the next one plant friends!

Today I welcome Lachie Wilmot and Karl Goodman who are the co-owners of Athletes Authority. We discuss how you would begin a S&C career, if university degrees such as Exercise & Sport Science, Exercise Physiology and/or a Masters of S&C are important to further your career, S&C career progression with and without university, their revolutionary business and much more.

This week, Andrew Wild from Wild Physio Fitness joins Michael Dermansky to explore the different benefits of strength training and cardio training so you can make an informed decision around which is right for you.

Andrew is a physiotherapist as well as a strength and conditioning coach who has merged the two fields to become a hybrid therapist. The discussion covers the many (surprising) benefits of strength training, and the recommended amount of strength training most people should do each week.

Armed with this information, you'll be better equipped to develop an exercise program that harnesses the benefits of each type of training no matter what your life stage and style. You'll be able to overcome injury sooner, minimise the risk of future injury and illness, and get the most out of your body so you can live life to the fullest.

Today I welcome Elisabetta Brigo who is a Physiotherapist from northern Italy. Elisabetta has recently started her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences at Hasselt University in Belgium. We discuss why you can't prevent back pain by avoiding so called 'incorrect postures', why there is no such thing as 'correct' or 'perfect' posture, why there is no spinal curvature that is strongly associated with pain, why we should not be afraid of butt wink and much more. FYI: the use of smartphones is poorly correlated with neck pain and disability! Elisabetta didn't hear that question correctly.
