This is the second in a 2-part series with Karli Gibson, a physiotherapist with diagnoses of ADHD and dyslexia. Having described the struggles and the suffering as she puts it, in epsiode 1, this time Karli focuses on the solutions she has found and the evolution this has afforded her both as a person and a physiotherapist. We also discuss how, as employers and heads of organisations where people with neurodiversity are working (ie all of us) we can help make those environments easier places to navigate for all. Many of us are probably scared of getting things wrong, or not sure how to get it right. Karli's overriding message is to stay curious.

Feisty title... Feisty Podcast... What does value even mean? How do we consider measuring our value, who decides what is value, what do we do with measures of value? Thats before we even get to what do we do with clinicians who aren't providing value... Valdhealth.com Rehabmypatient.com/Physiomatters

Injections for Osteoarthritic Knees is a big, evolving, controversial topic. On the one hand, emerging evidence suggests the cheap, easily available steroids are damaging to joints, on the other questions remain over effectiveness of more expensive injectables like Hyaluronic Acid and PRP. Combine that with Physiotherapists having lost the rights to inject PRP and the landscape is turbulent to say the least. Bilal Barkatali discusses all of this with Jack in what will absolutely be seen as a very well nuanced and balanced conversation that assesses the current state of play and provides real information on who to consider for which injectables. Thank you to EOS Active for sponsoring this episode. Find out more about them HERE: https://eosactive.co.uk/

Hyaluronic Acid is commonly lumped in with other injectables like PRP, Steroids, stem cells and so on. In some ways of course it is similar, the indications and method of delivery are not miles apart. Should we be thinking about it differently for Osteoarthritic Knees however? Jim Carr of Eos Active is here to Chew It Over with Jack and open up this conversation to make sure we are not dismissing potentially beneficial treatments for Knee OA which is difficult to manage! A huge thank you to Eos Active for sponsoring this episode, find out more about them HERE: https://eosactive.co.uk/ Stay tuned at the end for a sneak preview of Physio Matters Session 104 where Jack talks in detail about injectables with Bilal Barkatali!

This is the first of a 2-part series. Episode 1 - The Struggle and The Suffering Episode 2 - The Revolution and The Evolution Karli Gibson is an Occupational Health Physiotherapist. In this first epsiode, Karli talks to Jo about… Feeling thick, but smart. Learning to cope, and learning to mask. Getting diagnosed with dyslexia and discovering resources. Getting diagnosed with ADHD, and finding support, but not so many resources…yet. You can’t fail to hear Karli’s determination and commitment to finding her own path, not just in Physiotherapy but also in life. This episode is about the struggles as she puts it, but even here, there are hints at the evolution to come. ⁠JOIN MEHUB⁠

Jim was just a little excited to indulge in one of his favourite topics for a full podcast - Osteoarthritis. Ossur produce a wide range of limb products, of particular interest are their medial offloader braces for knee osteoarthritis. These provide a very real option as part of a management program for this tricky condition and Jim wanted to delve deep into how and why they might work. A lot of ground covered as he discusses with Giles the construction of the braces, how they work and who they might work for, improving compliance/tolerance and the cost implications. You can find out more about Ossur here You can also contact them for more information by email ukinfo@ossur.com or phone 03450 065 065 Don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast, if you have 10 seconds why not leave a review!

Nicola Graham and Helen Preston are both Physiotherapy business owners. They each have their own version of this, having made choices about whether or not to still work as a clinician, and how they wish to be perceived, and how they wish to exert their influence in healthcare. In this session we discuss, the acquisition of business skills when you've never been taught them, a shift in personal identity and the way others might see you as you take on business ownership, and we have a more philosophical discussion around leadership and who might emerge as the future symbolic leaders in our profession.

Jazz hands videos and monologues of your wisdom triggering unwanted attention from trolls. If this is your impression of marketing then no wonder you're avoiding it.

Some people love conflict. Some of them are even clinicians. This epsiode is for the remaining 97% of you who accept it's a necessary evil but would rather eat their own patella hammer. Celia Champion, director of Painless Practice has a wealth of tips, tricks, books and references to help you get more comfortable with conflict. And she is human enough to admit that even she is only a 3/10 on the concept.

Dave James, ex-nurse, podiatrist, coach and speaker talks to me about the role anger has played in his life. How it showed up at times of deep hurt, but also when he became a parent. How he experimented with complete denial of anger and where he is now, still working on it, always learning about it. We discuss whether anger is ever acceptable as a clinician and the responsibility we might feel, to maintain composure both at work and outside. Facebook
