The Physio Matters Podcast

Hot on the heels of TherapyLive we have decided to release the recording of the first session in the "MSKR Room". It is a fascinating discussion between Moderator Emma Salt, Graeme Wilkes, Ben Wilkins, John Etherington and Sarah Hazzard. They cover so much ground, propose solutions and get in to the weeds with regards to COVID-19 Rehab. If you missed out on TherapyLive you can buy the whole conference for the tiny price of £0.68p a session here  Follow MSKR on twitter @MSKReform and the team @TPMPodcast Check out the new Physio Matters website which has untold numbers of goodies and loads more to come!

The wonderful Dr Stewart joined Jack to discuss a vitally important topic and one that is relevant in all walks of life including Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.  Dr Stewart takes us through her experiences, the issues relating to race, BAME and rehabilitation. She also discusses how we can all move forwards. We hope that this can further the conversations and we can move towards a better future!  Follow @melrosestewart1 on Twitter and lets make progress.

I remember when I was working in the NHS a Physio named Rachel Chester came and presented the findings of her PhD to our department as we had helped with data collection. The findings blew my mind. That was a number of years ago and still that research blows my mind.  Rachel talks us through the seemingly simple diagnosis and management of Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS) and helps us understand why it isnt simple. "Don't believe your hunch". Bonus content can be found on our new content website TherapistLearning.com Follow Rachel on twitter @RachelChesterPT the team @TPMPodcast and Jack @JackAChew Make sure you make the most of RehabMyPatients 3 month free offer for listeners here!

Where do Therapists fit into all this? How can we help both on an individual level and a population level.  First we must understand the medications, the problems and how we can help. Helen Liddell experts guides us through all the queries and this is mandatory listening!

The Flippin’ Pain Initiative is a public health campaign run by Connect Health and is a project that aims to bring contemporary pain understanding to the Lincolnshire community.  In February, they launched the Flippin’ Pain brand and set out to flip the understanding of a room full of people with persistent pain with the help of pain Professors Lorimer Moseley and Cormac Ryan and set up by Connect's Head of NHS Service Development Richard Pell.   We were lucky enough to be able to send Felicity Thow with a camera and a mic to hold these three legends up for an hour on the day and even luckier that they agreed – we can’t thank Connect, Richard, Lorimer and Cormac enough for their time.  Here’s what we ended up with: a podcast about bringing pain education to the masses and our role in public health within our communities.
