The Physio Matters Podcast

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

We are going to Therapy Expo 2022 and we think its fair to say we have a chequered history and been critical of past shows! BUT  its all changed, Liam is here to tell us all the  ways its different, so if you dont have a ticket yet, believe us, this year its worth it... Grab 20% off here 

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.   Head to Mehab.co.uk

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.
